We teamed up again with Field House Brewing to brew up something extra fun. Adopting a rarely used brewing method called a parti-gyle, we turned one mash into two different beers. The first beer is higher ABV and is our take on an Old Fashioned. We made an Old Ale, then added oak soaked in bourbon, orange peels, and a dash of bitters.

Amber colour, chill haze. It's malty, sweet, a bit shallow though, and a touch of orange peel.
Not bad, it's drinkable, sweetish, and it reminds of the cocktail indeed.

16oz on Alex's porch. Appearance: clear copper with a white head. Aroma: some citruses, caramel malt. Taste: along the same lines, quite boozy. Overall: pretty much meh, nothing interesting here, lacks balance.

Deep copper body and okay foam, soft hazelnut and caramel on the nose but that's really pushing it. Flavour is boozy orange zest, cloying caramel, slight maltiness, definitely reminiscent of an old fashioned but a bad one. Okay for the alcohol level but still a little simplistic and overbearing.

473mL can, pours a clear dark amber / copper with a small beige head. Aroma reveals notes of bourbon, orange peel, some bitterness, bready malt, and toasted caramel—seems a little messy. Flavour is quite fruity, like an old fashioned, with bourbon, orange peel bitters, backed by bready malt and toasted caramel. Interesting concoction. If you like old fashioneds, I guess you'll like this. Cool experiment, but it's too sweet after a while and the gimmicky loses it appeal quickly.
