Tulip at the Thirsty Growler. Clear, medium amber, nicely frothy. Rich toasted bread, earthy & herbal stiff hops, light black pepper, itchy nose. Taste is heavy cereal upfront, sticky caramel & dry leaves with a lingering earthy & aspirin bitter bite. Lingering astringency, medium-high acid & an eventual dry mouth feel. Heavy dose of hops. Feels a bit bigger than the 5% list. Good.

XXI Rye Whiskey BA. Shared with Caesar and ShivanDragon @ Mancave Bunnik. Opaque dark brown to black color, average sized beige to light brown colored head. Aroma and flavor are malts, soft roasted malts, whiskey, decently bitter. A bit thin bodied due to age I think, but still good.
