The Swarming 12,0% on sekoite 12 kuukautta konjakkitynnyreissä muhinutta barley winea yhdistettynä braggottiin, joka on horrostanut bourbontynnyreissä 22 kuukautta. Osaset ovat saaneet ottaa huomattavaa aikaa tynnyreissä ja maustua tynnyreiden muhkeilla aromeilla, sillä braggot-osio sisältää muhkeat määrät hunajaa.

Draught@Oulu Craft Beer 2023. Copper colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is dried fruits, some alcohol, mild sweet malts with some toffee. Flavour is dried fruits, some plum, toffee and mild wooden tones with some sweet malts to it. Very nice. But also very dangerous.

500ml bottle. Cloudy, brown-ish, dark amber colour with small, frothy, bubbly, diminishing, white head. Sweet-ish, minimally toasty, malty aroma, hints of marzipan, oaky overtones. Taste is toasty malty, slightly woody and alcoholic; slightly bitter finish with a touch of liquorice. Oily texture, smooth and soft palate, fine, soft carbonation. Not overly complex, slightly alcoholic - OK.

Bottled at tasting. Poured dark brown in color. Aroma is spot on. Bread, raisins, alcohol and figs. On the boozier, vinous side though to be really enjoyable.

Tap @Fermentoren. Cloudy brownish, small beige head. Malty aroma, dried fruit, caramel, wood. Sweet flavour, fruity, dried fruit with bitter hops, sweet malt. Alc burn and mild wood in the finish. Rough at first and has a weird, mouldy wet wood note later on.
