Description
At Braxton, a garage is more than a garage. It’s a place where we build our hopes and dreams, storing them on the wall neat as garden tools. Really, the garage is a hub. A reliable place from which we launch into the world, and enjoy a safe return.

We hang out in our garages. Saturday mornings, afternoons, long into the night. Sometimes hosting neighbors, family and friends, other times in blissful solitude, tinkering on projects, obsessing over a problem or making something great. Think of the garages in your past. You’ll remember your dad fixing a lawnmower or building a table, where he taught you to say “Yes, sir.” You can almost smell the oil and beer.

But more and more the family garage is an incubator, an enterprise zone. It’s part of the beautiful renaissance happening in the middle of this great country. So it was for Evan Rouse. Evan, from Union, Kentucky, was a pretty extraordinary kid. Because while other kids played video games and started garage bands, Evan fell in love with the craft of brewing beer. And he built a home brewery in the family garage. He was just 16 years old, not even of age.

For Evan, brewing beer was more than an idea, it was a revolution. Because from that humble start, Evan’s love for brewing has become his entrepreneurial obsession. He’s building the brewery of his dreams. And his entire family is on board, helping him get it done. (The truth is, it’s a pretty extraordinary family.)

So welcome to Braxton Brewing Company. You’re witnessing a dream coming to life. A place where ideas are born and fermented. It’s a great deal of work, but hell, that’s what makes a dream worth pursuing. This brewery celebrates determination, knowledge, and the humble pride we wave like a battle flag.

Keg at the brewery, Covington, KY. Pepper and rose in the aroma. Quite sweet but with a cloying soapniness. Decent enough. (23/5/22)

16oz can at home courtesy of Rob, big thanks. Unreadable BB date. black color, small coffee colored head. smells vanilla, spices, cocoa, hazelnuts, light milk coffee, nice smell. full body, soft carbonation. tastes of vanilla, earthy, nutty, hazelnuts, toffee, milk coffee, lactose, spices. finishes lightly sweet with notes of vanilla, nuts and spices. pretty good one, great balance, not overly sweet, could do with a tad less vanilla, but overall this is very nice.

0,5l bottle at home shared by Rob, big thanks. Vintage 2021. almost black color, almost no head. smells of bourbon, boozy, vanilla, bit boozy, very nice smell. full body, no carbonation. tastes sweet, bourbon, vanilla, nutty, hazelnuts, raisins, dried fruits, spices. finishes sweet and bit roasty with notes of bourbon, vanilla and spices. very nice one, very interesting, more like an American Strong Ale (mix between stout and barley wine), sweet, bourbon heavy, but alcohol is very well hidden.

Bottle. Aroma is light vanilla, cacao, chocolate. Flavor shows mild barrel with the above adjuncts. The alcohol is hidden but it does show bitter chocolate in the finish. Good.

A can from a gift sixer that my son in law's father gave me, he knows I hate IPA so this is why he gave it to me; a gag gift and that's what I suspect it will do when I drink it - gag me. Drank this right from the can so I'm not sure what it looks like, I'll just go by what the previous rater said: Golden color with a white head. Nose is heavy hooped beer, slight orange nose with a boozy olfactory. First taste if big fat hoppy IPA, terribly on style; so bitter it kicks yer ass and makes you wonder why anybody wood drink something like this. Big blasting negative nellie to a lager lover, rototiller across my taste buds and right down the hatch. Whewwie. A limited seasonal jubilee of excessive hoppy viscous ale, big blasting bastard. You like torturing yerself with hops? Put this on yer bucket list - you will not regret it. Does this have anything to do with a jubilee holiday brew? I think not, its just another one of gahzillion heavily hopped thick mouth coating IPA out there.

22 oz bottle from Tavour, 12/10/21. 2021 Release - Heritage Series. Pours a nice, dark brown color with a medium brown head. Aroma of Mexican chocolate and vanilla. Roasted coffee comes through more on the flavor. Boubon barrel is fairly subtle. The chili-cinnamon-chocolate thing is definitely the dominant flavor coming off of this one, but not in an over-the-top / hit-you-in-the-face type of way. The whole beer is fairly subtle and nuanced for heavily adjunct-forward barrel aged 12.5% stout, if that makes any sense. Really well-balanced and the alcohol is hardly present at all. Really cool beer, and one of those beers where drinking a whole 22 is helpful, as I kept pulling out more and more complexity. Really liked this one. 8/4/9/4/18
