750ml bottle pours a translucent cola brown, some tan head and light legs. Nose is nice, especially after it opened up, caramel, toffee, booze, light vanilla, some cola/rootbeer, barrel character is brandy but also adds some sumac too, herbs, woodruff. Flavor has sweet caramel and toffee and malt, brown sugar, some BBQ sauce, caramel apples, the booze is very mellow here, there's vanilla and light whiskey, but everything is grooving. Full bodied, lightly sticky but very smooth. Drinks very easy for 11%.

Snallygaster 2017. Light beer with lots of barrel alcohol. Hoppy but not a lot of bitterness or alcohol burn. If you like a cocktail? This is it. 737313

Hazy brown with good head and lacing. Bittersweet finish with some caramel. Some syrupy vibe here. Not really my scene like top 40 bars. Tap at Snally.

Draft at Snallygaster 2017. Poured a dark cola color with a small off-white head. Aroma was sweet, toffee malts. Caramel notes. Lots of apple brandy notes. Roast wasn’t too bad, a little hot at 11%.
