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

750mL bottle shared by Willrunforbeer on 8/9/25.
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.

Hazy golden yellow with moderate white head. Rhubarb, lemon, wheat malt, salt, and straw aroma. Mildly sweet rhubarb, red berry, wheat malt, lightly salty, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Good body. Nice, quaffable beer.

7.9% abv. Eh. This is a pretty straightforward malty brew with caramel. There’s bourbon in there, but it’s too weak. It’s okay, but to me doesn’t offer enough.
