Pale yellow with minimal head. Lemon, yuzu, biscuit malt and straw aroma. Lightly sweet yuzu, lemon/lime, biscuit malt, moderately sour citric acid, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Good body.

Bottle pour at Camp Tasting Finale. Clear, dark brown, maple syrup quality. Aroma is burnt wood, mild tart fruit. Taste is burnt wood/earthiness, mild tart fruit. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. If I were out in the wilderness alone, I would drink burnt sticks, otherwise, hell no!

750 ml bottle, Thanks to Brain on the share. Aroma is smoky and old malt. Shows a solid amount of scotch with peated malt. Definitely not a flavor profile I look for. Just not my preference.

Bottle shared. Copper ruby pour. Nose is peat and cherry. Tastes of balsamic, cherry, peat, diaper. Thin bodied. Not very good.

Clear dark amber. Dark beige head.
Islay Scotch is the biggest thing I get. Fruity and toasty behind it. Soft funk.
Well that's over attenuated. Scotch, fruit, cherry skin and iodine. I like the flavor but the body is washed out. It is super old so you can't hold it against it. It's lovely.

Good milk stout! Bittersweet, like my feelings of leaving this city so soon.

Had to have another bourbon barrel beer before leaving Kentucky. Good, simple ale with soft pleasant spiced oak vanilla. 2nd from left.
