375mL bottle at LC member party, 1/18/25.
Clear, dark auburn-caramel. Small, off-white head.
Rich maltiness with a plethora of caramel and toffee. Light raisin and light vanilla notes. Light to moderate barrel character with no sharpness from the rum.
Rich and malty, of course. Deep malts, pretty good attenuation though maybe a touch sweet. Raisin, vanilla, toffee forever. Didn't particularly notice the rum barrel.
Was excited for my first wax wings wild ale, breweries that do wild ales > all, but some odd notes of olive brine/vinegar, nail polish, heavy acidity, lots of peach notes though. Thanks FlandersNed ! It was still overall fun.

Undated can drunk 12/24/24.
Clear darker auburn. Small, dark beige head, modest retention.
Big, fruity, earthy, plastery yeast with light PNW hopping and only tastefully done medium malts. Just a hint of roast.
Very malty with molasses, plaster, earth, mineral, mild coffee and a hint of sweet vanilla and chocolate. Good base malt, with a malty texture and high attenuation. The chewy texture, vanilla and fruity roast provide much more interest than your typical brown ale.

Aftertaste: more caramel, alcohol, roasted, bitter, sugary, very sweet, some soy sauce, vanilla, more sugary in the finish, lovely if maybe a little too sugary.

That apple brandy finish is so nice, sweet apple molasses notes for days.
Was overly sweet upfront but oh what a bit of warmth does to it, closer at room temp it's such good bourbon dipped s'mores. Lots of the graham crackers comes out in an awesome way. Delicious! Thanks FlandersNed !
Lots of fruitiness from the vanilla and sweetness from the coconut, with nice chocolate and barrel notes. Thanks FlandersNed !
