Can from Craft Brewed and multiple draft pours. Pours a clearish deep gold with a finger of foam that lingers, then dissipates. Dank aromas with peach, apricot, banana and dragonfruit aromas. Smooth on the palate, with a medium prickly pineapple bitterness. Some green tea mid-palate, with dry tropical fruit finish that lingers, some durian in there as well. --- Beer merged from original tick of 5ish Year Anniversary Beer on 26 Mar 2018 at 22:02 - Score: 8

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of foam that lingers. Dark chocolate aromas, slight raspberry skin and oaky vanilla nose. Some roasted cacao nib as it warms. Jammy raspberry, cacao, coffee on the palate. Tons of strawberry jam as it warms...so well-balanced. Smooth finish with cacao nib and strawberry jam. ABV is hidden well. Insanely well done. --- Beer merged from original tick of Raspberry Truffle Navel Gazer on 16 Feb 2018 at 22:37 - Score: 8.

Draft at the source. Pours a pitch black with a finger of tan head that lingers then dissipates. Huge chocolate cacao nose. Milk chocolate aromas, some vanilla, cream and oak as it warms. Smooth and creamy chocolate truffle, bourbon & vanilla. Very rich and all the chewiness from Navel Gazer is there even after the barrel treatment. Not boozy at all. Surprisingly dangerously drinkable and a big improvement over the TN whiskey BA version a few months back. This is the best BA beer I've had in Tennessee. --- Beer merged from original tick of Barrel Aged Navel Gazer (Ridgemont 1792) on 13 Jan 2018 at 21:04 - Score: 8. Original review text: Huge chocolate cacao nose. Milk chocolate aromas, some vanilla, cream and oak as it warms. Smooth, chocolate ruffle, bourbon & vanilla. Wow.

Draft at the source. Pours a clear gold with a finger of foam that lingers for a bit. Big coffee forward nose, light vanilla bean. Coffee on the palate with some light cream soda notes. Sweetness from the vanilla is restrained, allowing the coffee to really jump out. Dry on the palate and finish with more coffee notes and just a touch of vanilla. Lingering coffee and creamy vanilla on the finish. Wow, what a surprise!

Draft at the source. Pours a glowing, neon yellow with a tiny bit of white foam that dissipates quickly. Great nose with tons of tropical pineapple, mango, peach and pine. Nose really just lingers on and on; even in the glass after it was empty. Juicy creamy texture on the palate. Like a rad crushed pineapple smoothie. Hopburn on the palate with more lingering fruit. Some medium bitterness on the finish as well. Strong effort.

Draft at the source. Pours a clear, glowing straw color with a bright, white head that lingers. Light grain on the nose. Clean and crisp, no frills. Light corn-like sweetness comes in, but peppery hops dry out the finish. Pretty solid cream ale, although not a style I gravitate towards. --- Beer merged from original tick of Nothing Fancy on 14 Jan 2018 at 11:44 - Score: 7.

Draft at the source. Pours a deep copper/amber color with a small beige head that lingers. Lots of resinous, bitter pine in the nose....twigs, roasted toffee aromas. Sticks & earth on the palate, roasted caramel and deep sorghum notes. Finish is aggressively bitter, I assume to balance out the sweetness. Not really my cup of tea. --- Beer merged from original tick of Beerded Recluse on 13 Jan 2018 at 20:57 - Score: 6.
