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.

Clear dark brown to black beer, small creamy beige head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: pretty oxidized, lots of whisky, bourbon, good roast, soy sauce, more roast. MF: ok carbon, full body, creamy texture. Taste: sweet start, good nice roast, lots of caramel, sugary, more caramel, chocolate notes, whisky, bourbon, vanilla, lovely! 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 !

Deep opaque brown-black body, thin light brown head. Aroma leathery with oak, molasses, coffee, and roasted malts. Dense and sticky-sweet body with charred marshmallow, prune, vanilla, and fruit leather that quickly become cloying. It's really hard to find a stellar pastry stout it seems.
