12 oz bottle, poured dark brown with modest sized head. Full bodied. Licorice chocolate and maple aroma. Burnt malt with muted maple sweetness in the taste. Charred finish. Much more interesting than I find most oatmeal stouts.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 8/22/2019. Pours slightly hazy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin lace cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big sour/tart/tangy red/green apples, fruit peel, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, melon, apricot, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, honey, caramel syrup, wheat, white bread dough, light butterscotch/peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of apples, fruity/acidic yeast, caramel flavoring, and pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big sour/tart/tangy red/green apples, fruit peel, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, melon, apricot, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, honey, caramel syrup, wheat, white bread dough, light peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness, fruit tang, and light spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of sour/tart/tangy red/green apples, fruit peel, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, melon, apricot, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, honey, caramel syrup, wheat, white bread dough, light butterscotch/peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of apples, fruity/acidic yeast, caramel flavoring, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with an awesome malt/tart/sourness and tangy fruit balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering tart/sourness and tangy fruit. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, and acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is an awesome flavored/fruited kettle sour. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of apples, fruity/acidic yeast, caramel flavoring, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish; not overly lactic. Awesome balance of big juicy apples and lacto complexity; with great balanced caramel flavoring, and pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and outstanding experimental style example as expected. Tastes exactly like a caramel apple all the way through.
