Notes from June 2009 Liter-sized growler shared on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Queens. Thanks for the sheets Paul. :P Spastically poured into my now famous Yard's mug. A deep dark brown cup of mud with a touch of coffee creamer head. Nose is of floral hops & melon-like fruit, with some sugar & milk chocolate as well. Building on the smell(though not in the same proportions), more citrus, golden raisins & bitter chocolate. Wood chips. Glazed & bready, with a minor annoyance of coffee. Plenty of pine on the finish. Grainy, slightly powdery feel. Iffy carbonation, but some heft to lean on. Such a mish-mash, I'm surprised that I enjoyed it so much. I really came in wanting to wail on it. :)

@Pilsner Petes East Coast Gathering-hand bottled–pours a retaining tan head and dark brown with orange color. Aroma is dark malt-molasses, some wood/earthy hops. Taste is dark malt-anise, ashy, secondary earthy hops. Not my taste. Thanks dickinsonbeer/PAUL for sharing.

Hand bottle shared by Dickinsonbeer at Peter’s NY gathering - chunky brown pour - soapy lace - nose of rum, brown sugar, cookie dough, cherries, oak, vanilla - tastes of bourbon barrel, cherries, coconut, caramelized sugar, spicy alcohol notes - honestly, this tastes like most of the stylistically ambiguous barrel-aged american ales I’ve ever had - not bad, but not great, either - it just tries to bludgeon your palate into liking it, with mixed results.
