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.

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.
