Grapefruit peel, malt underneath. Clear yellow, medium head. Light body, lilly and lemon zest. Dandelion, malt, unmalted barley, and grass on the back end.Tons of complexity, none of the weight, pretty much nails this new style. Surprising malt presence.

Rum and coke nose. Cloudy brown, thin yellow head. Cola and faint brown sugar flavor. Not as bozzy as it smells, lightish body. Pretty nice.

Okay, I respect this brewery’s ability to make beer, but multiple recent experiences suggest they should stay away from barrel aging. This is one. I actually had the bartender pour a sample into a different glass to make sure this was right. It is. Pours a hazy brown color with a thin head. Aroma of massive harsh chemical notes, paint thinner, acetone and the like, along with some faint hints of rum and caramel. The taste is toffee, caramel, that chemical thing, mild stone fruits. Thin bodied, low carbonation, heavy booze. Yikes!

Draft at Whole Foods Charlottesville. Pours a dark brown color with a thin brown head. Good head retention. Aroma of heavy vanilla, wood, diacetyl, chocolate, whiskey and a faint acetic note. The taste is low quality bourbon, strong vanilla, roasted malts, chocolate, slightly bitter finish. Thin bodied, moderate carbonation, lingering bitterness. Disappointing.
