The crew crafted this amber-colored beauty by fermenting a smooth, malty Lager in third-use whiskey barrels, giving it a tinge of oak and plenty of character.
Tasting Notes
Smooth sips deliver caramel tones kissed by a whisper of fruity esters while touches of barrel char and woody vanilla accentuate the complexity. And it all comes with a refreshingly crisp body.

Tavour: pours brownish red with beige head. Aroma is caramel, grainy, some earth. Sharp like many commons. Not as unrefined. Not too sweet or bitter.

Stuffy, woody and oaky with hints of earthiness and sweetness. A bit unbalanced

TCBW2026. Amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is biscuits, some caramel and mild nutty as well as floral and wooden tones. Flavour is quite similar with a nice nutty and sweet malty aftertaste.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Copper red color. Rocky beige head. Sweet toasted malt aroma has a wisp of smokiness. Earthy malt flavor has toasty, woody notes. Hints of toffee and oak in middle. Dries out on backend. There is an underlying complexity to this brew that elevates it to another level. Well done.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear mahogany with a large creamy light tan head that persisted. Aroma is toffee with perhaps Noble hop. Pretty dry. Nicely bitter. There are some wood notes. Good lager

Draft half pour at Holy Mountain. Home of the greatest brewery sticker (IMO) in the Seattle area. Stopping in as part of our opening day celebration crawl. Copper pour with a soap bubble head. Dry, oak heavy aroma. Orange fruit, and tons of oak and dry malt. Slight smoked character. One of a kind lager for sure. Damn good.

Draft - Very light grains on the nose. Cleanish copper with a small white head. Tons of oak, cooked orange and grains with a bitter woody finish.
