Pours pale yellow into a Sam glass. White head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Sour corn aromas. Crisp with sour citrus, corn and sourdough front to back.

5 oz. pour from Thirsty Moose, Exeter. Deeply hazy dark yellow-light brown with thin head and nice lacing. Aroma is grain, subtle citrus, smoky grains. Taste is slightly smoky grains, vague citrusy hops. Frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Fairly subtle; not compelling.

Bottle at the brewery, 7/1/23. Clear dark purple-amber. Small, dark beige head, low retention. Hard to really call this a Dubbel if it's just ambient wood fermented, but whatever. Fruity, tart, light brett, light lactic acidity, moderate Belgian sacch character, light wood and hints of citrusy white wine. Clean. Soft, fruity, on the lighter side, quite dry with a bit of oomph from the white wine. Low acidity but still pleasingly tart. The best of the three barrel series offerings they had today, but that's not saying much.

Bottle at the brewery, 7/1/23. Dark, good clarity, light-tan head, moderate retention. Nose shows just a hint of fruity port, low wood, low tannin and low sugar with light roast, moderate vanilla and chocolate. No alcohol. Prune..raisin... More dark fruit and fruity ester with light concord grape-like notes and hints of sweetness from the port. The stout itself is very dry, very light-bodied for its size. Maybe not quite thin, but very close to it. Clean and no booze.

Bottle at the brewery, 7/1/23. Clear amber. Small, off-white head, low retention. As, say, a barrel-aged wild ale, or Belgian ale, or something along those lines, this is ok. The problem being that it's supposed to be a rauchbier. It has noteable smoke and that's about the only thing remotely identifying it as such. Everything else is nothing like a rauchbier and it's odd that it's transformed so much from the base beer, while also not really containing much rye character. Some specialty malt, light wood, light oxidation. Almost a belgian ester character. The smoke is deep and delightful, at least.

Portsmouth draught, 7/1/23. Lightly hazy, blonde-brass-golden. Small, moderately retained, white head. Nose is juicy tropical fruits with some citrus and woody spice. Rich malts balance easily. Soft, juicy, with nectarine, spice and light wood. Rich malts are supple and also well-attenuated. Not too much woody, dry, resinous character at all. Nicely balanced and very flavorful.

Portsmouth draught, 7/1/23. Bronze-brass-amber. Clear. Off-white head quickly to ring. Smells like stewed hop with woody, mildly resinous hops and too much caramel-like malt character. Very malty, not very hoppy. Pine, white bread and heavy caramel. Orange marmalade, vague, strong bitterness. Oh boy.

Brewery draught, 7/1/23. Clear, bright maize-golden-brass. Small, white head, low retention. Nose is a bit of juicy fruits with white bread-like malt and light citrus. Clean. Undermalted, thinnish, too light-bodied. Hints of citrus with vague tropical fruits and grain and water.
