16oz can. Chunky thick black body. Big, steady tan-beige head. Roasty, oily aroma. Big in some respects, but kind of a hollow center, almost like a nitro. Thick, sticky specialty malt tones. The wheat gives it a little depth, Big and rich, approaching Double Black IPA. Solid offering, enjoyable.

From a 22 oz bottle shared at Ryan’s. Pours a deep clear amber with an ecru head. Aroma of vanilla. Flavors of oak, caramel, vanilla and whiskey. Quite pleasant boozy finish.

Sampled on draft at Dad’s Pub N Grub this beer poured a bright orange-amber color with a medium sized creamy orange-beige head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was tangy and a bit sour with a fruity hop presence. The flavor was very tangy with sour malts, lots of pine, a bit of lemon and an astringent presence. Long finish. Moderately full bodied. Ok.

Bottle (Stache in the Wood - Willett barrel, Vanilla bean, and lactose - 5.3%) Vanilla, bourbon and light lactic chocolate malt aroma. Dark brown with giant light brown head (a bit of a gusher). Sweet light vanilla chocolate malt and sour lactic flavor. Body pretty light. Okay but not great.

Initial impression was great, after that a bit metallic. Nice looking beer, citrus / pine aroma. Taste is yellow grapefruit . Very short metallic finish.

Can. Dark brown color. Aroma of dark bittersweet cocoa. Taste is unmotivated cocoa (OK, I’m having trouble reading my own handwriting), espresso. Nice full body.
