750 ml bottle generously shared by mreusch, bottle #169/456, thanks Matt. Oak, oak, oak, how do you like it, oak oak, oak, and booze, how do you like it. Shouldn’t have expected more, vanilla from oak, booze all around. I feel like ’oak and booze’ should be a category. Pours with no head and a clear copper color.

750 ml bottle generously shared by mreusch, bottle #169/456. Pour is hazed orange copper, mostly still. No head or apparent carbonation to speak of. Aroma of brown sugar sweetness, some floral, along with a decent blast of bourbon barrel heat. The Oak and vanilla came out quite strongly as this warmed, bis, boozy and sweet. Taste is big and sweet as expected, there is a whole bunch of brown sugar up front, with a whole bunch of vanilla and oak behind that. Palate is heavy medium, sweet cloying, lingering floral finish. Overall, not really my thing, but did seem to be well made. Thanks for sharing Matt.

Pours brilliant clear amber with almost no head. It has a big sweet nose with cherries, sweet sweetness, earthy yammy yumminess and winter spices. The taste begins thick and sweet with a palate full of cherries, syrupy sweetness and a wholesome earthy, sink your teeth into it, yams. It gets mildly peppery into the finish. Yum, yam and sweet.

Bottle. Golden amber beer with a whitish head. Yeasty, light musty aroma with a bit of Brett. Peppery, yeasty flavor with some light malt and light citrus. Medium body. Pepper lingers with yeast and light fruitiness. Pepper flavor is a bit strong and there’s a surprising amount of backing hops.

Bottle: Poured a deep clear copper color ale with a medium light brown foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with some light dry fruits notes. Taste is dominated by sweet malt and is almost overly sweet with very subtle notes of dry fruits and a unrefined grain finish. Body is quite full with average carbonation and no noticeable alcohol. A bit deceiving overall with lacking complexity and some overly dominant sweetness.

Growler thanks to JohnC. Pours with a huge, rocky white head and great lace over a hazed golden yellow body. Aroma of bananas, spice, hops, their house Belgian yeast, citrus, vanilla and slightly bready. Taste is hoppy citrus, Belgian yeast, and graininess. Lively carbonation, dry mouthfeel.
