Release 2 ABV: 10.8 Nose is babyfood, candi, pineapple, and apple. Clear yellow, thick head. Peach and pineapple flavor. Alcohol is quite evident. Lighter and hotter than the non-peached Brainless, after being sampled together. Not overly done with the peaches, they are fine. The base beer gives me pause because it is bland, yet volatile. Neither Brainless wows me, but although this one is quite different from the other one, it’s of near equal quality.

Release 11 8.8 ABV: Funky banana and apple nose, very funky. Clear golden, medium head, good retention. Fullish body. Apple is dominant with a subtle undercurrent of not quite ripe banana. Decent beer, but doesn’t stand out in a crowd.

Strong charred oak aroma with hints of dark chocolate. Black with a thin brown head, some lacing. Liquid licorice with a bit of thistle. Very subtle plum notes also present. Ash finish. Full body, alcohol superbly masked. Excellent balance, really harmonious combination of hops and malt. Wonderful crafting Epic, keep up the great work!
