Sampled at the 8th annual Battle of the Barrel Aged Beers, listed at 11% and noted that the coffee is Zeke's Coffee. Leggy, cola brown, no head. Nose took a second to come out, then it hit with cocoa and coffee and plenty of booze. There is def some wheated Bourbon, some nougat. Flavor has more coffee and cocoa, booze, caramel, toffee, burnt toast. The base beer is still alive, if not a bit oxidized. Whiskey barrel is there and it's quality. Everything about this feels high end. The one dig is a hotter boozy finish. 8 3 8 3 15

12 oz can from DC. Thanks Ashley! Pours a crystal clear light gold color with an off white head and decent retention. Very minor lacing. Standard bready aroma. Soft bread flavor to match the nose. No yeast notes. More crisp than your average golden ale. Medium body. Good flavor for only 4.0 ABV. Clean, smooth and repeatable. Not bitter. Well done.

$2.40 bottle, WW. Hazy honey-copper with a small off-white head. Nose is lightly floral, alcohol, citrus... pretty faint overall. Caramel, lots of floral/perfumey notes, fig, light spice, maybe some resin too. Boozy.
