Sampler at brewery. Notice the description doesn't tell you the base beer. The bartender didn't know either. Or better put there is no style base. Or even better put it's meant to be a barrel beer. The bartender describes it as smell a shot of whiskey. Well, not far off. Whiskey and sweet cereal malts. Which is kind of ok, actually. Flavor has a lot of barrel alcohol and less malt strength. I think this could benefit from a bit more beer and a bit less barrel. Hops not really around. A medium body with low carbonation. Sweet cereal malts come back in aftertaste. I feel like I disinfect my mouth as a burp. All in all they make worse beer.
