Dark Dark brown. No head. Big marshmallow and vanilla on the nose. Thick, a bit of that pbc2 but it’s washed out by bourbon and chocolate. And vanilla, lots of that. Burly, not entirely refined, but it’s very good as one expects from Fort George.

Pale and slight haze. A fair bit of bitterness. There’s some cool hop but fuck me the citra is a bit too dominant. Ok malt. So it’s good but 8
I really hopes these breweries would let the good hops out but nah. Citra fucks up an otherwise good beer, as always. And it’s a bit sticky too.

I get pistachio and cocoa a lot on this. Then a big vanilla finish, with boozy bourbon and sweet rich chocolate. Dark brown, big aroma, excellent as always.

Dark brown, big vanilla depths. Fat tangy bourbon, chocolate. Strong, straight down mainstreet with the flavours but I'm okay with that.

From Good Times Oakland, canned March 24th 2025.
Pours a clear gold with lively carbonation, huge and growing head of foam. Excellent retention and lacing.
Smells of the double dry hopping, big citrus, floral, toasted malt is there.
Taste is fruity hops, citrus, some caramel malt sweetness, pretty lovely bitterness. Dry but yet a little bit juicy.
Slick medium bodied, this is satisfying.

Aroma is woody, whiskey, molasses, vanilla, licorice, dark chocolate, earthy, raisin. Taste is moderately to highly sweet with a firmly bitter edge. Strong flavors of molasses and licorice followed by the other aroma descriptors. It’s good, but a little too sweet for me to be top tier, especially for an unadulterated stout with no adjuncts.

Aroma is woody, tobacco, toffee, dark fruit, dried fruit, whiskey, sherry. Taste is highly sweet (although not as sweet as many barleywines of this ilk), moderately bitter, and slightly tart. Top tier barleywine.
