500mL bottle drunk 12/23/25, as pictured.
Lots of barrel and it's a good mix of both bourbon and apple brandy. Not too sweet, with a good deal of fudge and slight dark chocolate accents. Is there a touch of unrefined alcohol here? Perhaps, but that's about the only thing negative I can say about the nose. Otherwise, there's a great mix of fudge, char, roast and the adjuncts aren't remotely overdone. Not getting much, if any, lactose either.
Sweet, fudgey chocolate and peanut (ok, pistachio) with an apple brandy undercurrent and moderate bourbon spice. Rich, chewy, malty texture but reasonable dryness on the finish which is full of chocolate-cherry-vanilla and long caramel/toffee. I get a bit turned off by too much coconut in stouts, but it's really tasteful here. Only a slight aspect. Not boozey/sharp in flavor. But the bourbon and apple brandy are certainly stiff. And it's just a bit too sweet overall, after a handful of sips.

Aromas are citrus rind with resin, wet grain and malt. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose with citrus and resin smoothing out and a nice blend of bitter, sweet and carbonation. Decent body and finish. Very drinkable. I could have another.

500mL bottle from Roxbury, dumped 11/19/25. As pictured.
Smells almost minty. No sign of any of the adjuncts as whatever infection this has dominates giving the medicinal-mint character.
Still rather sweet. Can get at some of the adjuncts, but it has a weird, slightly bile-like character in there from the infection. Lots of adjuncts + lots of residual sugar + no barrel aging = frequent infections. It's an issue lots of breweries deal with and there's no great answer. Shame here, though, as I really wanted to see what Obercreek was like.

16oz can is pulp. Nose has some fruit, slightly floral, melon, some grass and wheat. Flavors follow. This is wet hopped? Maybe. Oranges and straw and wheat. Some red berry lurking. Medium full bodied. Ok. Disjointed. 8 7.5 7 7 7.5
