375mL bottle, final batch, purchased December 2024 from the brewery. ABV up to 9% from previous 6.5% batch.
Clear, blonde-honey. Incredibly-fizzy head fizzles away quickly to nothing.
Big yarrow-like vibes with a round, softy, honey-rich maltiness to balance. Light oak, minimal grape and lingering heavy herbal spice.
Soft, thick, rich, juicy, big bready and honey-like malts with a bit of "run-away-hot-fermentation-alcohol" character. The herbs are intense and spicy, deep and lightly medicinal reminding me heavily of yarrow. Love the slightly syrupy texture to balance the oak, acidity and herbal bitterness. It does it admirably and the beer finishes with and shows lingering honey, bread, oak and gentle white wine. All the while the herbs lighten somewhat.
