This 12 oz bottle was obtained at the Total Wine in the Heights in Houston on a visit to the prodigal son. I have my Chimay glass in place after an earlier tasting of a quadrupel, no reason to change, duh. I see an extremely dark brown, viscous appearing, body with a following ring of light tan bubbles. The fragrance is lightly chocolate and a comparable amount of coffee. I take a drink and get a pleasant surprise. Yes, there is coffee but it does not wipe out everything else. Chocolate too of course, grain, malt, a touch of berries and some earthiness. Pleasant overall.

2018 vintage 12 oz bottle poured. Copper reddish brown pour. Bit of a snow globe of sediment after 7 years of cool and dark age. Active carb still, and a lasting head. Big maple nose, some bran, spicy .alts, and a touch of barrel. Really a smooth brew for its strength. Is it even a brown ale anymore at a hair short of 14%? Moderately dense body, spicy malts, bold toasty grain, bran, lingering dry whiskey and oak. Late maple like reminder. Definitely a layered BA brew, and something a lot different than your expected barrel offerings. Really stood the test of time too. Very nice.

A strong ale that was aged in Wheat Bourbon barrels from Ben Holladay. Damn, I have been waiting for this one. A 12 oz bottle picked out at Half Time. There’s a globe glass in place, the cap is off and I’m pouring. A dark toffee brown body finished by a minimal skim of khaki foam. The smell is super, dark ripe fruit, baked grain and booze. The drink is simply better, I should’ve bought more than one. Dark plums, wheat bread, chocolate, berries of some kind, wood, cane syrup, whiskey and dates. Ommegang made a beer some years ago that was a combination of imperial stout and quadrupel, a phenomenal beer. This is scarily similar. Scary in a good way. Easily the top tasting I have had in some time.
gave a cheers!

Can, pour is pale light orange with slight haze. Nose is somewhat strong orange guava, I guess. Barely any co2 on the palate. Mostly a thicker fruit juice feel to this. No sign of beer or alky at all in the taste. Just curious of this is really a beer? Goes down way too easy, just like a breakfast drink. No lie, if I didn't look at the an, I'd think I was drinken a healthy sweetart breakfast fruit drink. In the middle I am finally getting a tiny amount of cutting co2 in there. Not bad, just not sure if this is really beer, hehehehh.
