Sampled from the tap at Malcolm Yards. Pours a clear deep amber brown with a light brown head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has earthy dark grains and a good amount of roast with a hint of bitter chocolate underlying. Flavor has earthy roast throughout with a dark backbone and a hint of chocolate.

Can/Fest. A- Whisky, caramel, weak. A- Gold color, slightly hazy liquid, white head. T- Whisky, grains, malty. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- This is still definitely a lager, the barrel adds to the abv more than anything else. I would guess rye barrel as I get some rye spice and mild orange and some peychaud bitters. Barrel is all the flavor in this one but not boozy.

Can/Fest. A- Herbal, malt, faint marshmallow. A- Gold color, clear liquid, off white head. T- Marshmallow, mild char, vanilla. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- This was loaded with marshmallow and tasted more marshmallow like than any beer I've ever had. Extra points for that. The aroma was medicinal and herbal and a bit strange but the flavor was great.

Can/Fest. A- Chocolate, whisky. A- Black color, black liquid, minimal head. T- Chocolate, bourbon, mild soy sauce. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- This was a very nice no frills barrel aged stout. I love this one and feel like Millstream has done some good work lately with barrel aged beers for a middle of the road brewery that I usually pass up.

Can/Fest. A- Fruity, caramel, mild whiskey. A- Gold color, clear liquid, off white head. T- Fruity, gum, mild whisky, grains. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Never had a barrel aged marzen, and honestly it adds a light new touch but the base is too light to really appreciate the entire brew. Pretty dang good nonetheless.
