Lovely tasty stout. Well the most prominent here is the aroma. Solid! Sniffed it for a looooong time. Felt like a barrel aged one. Lots of chocolate,, oak and vanilla. The only thing to put my finger on here is the texture. Felt a bit thin. Maybe my brain was fooled. Thought it was an imperial stout. Pleasant carbonation level. Smooth and easy to drink. Also chocolate, oak, vanilla and coffee in the flavor. Yummi.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy golden orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is lightly oxidized, with caramel, apple juice, and toasted bread. Flavour is medium-heavy sweet, with caramel, brown sugar and apple juice. Not the most complex beer of the style, but it's interesting. Solid.

Bomber shared by AdamC on 7/8/17.
Clear, auburn-mahogany body topped by a small beige head showing no retention.
Acetic acid is most prominent, and has a strong balsamic-like edge to it. Light lactic notes in the background continue the sour trend as big purple and red fruits sit on the end, alongside a big dose of caramel. Not much integration here at all and the beer smells limp/heavy/dull with way too much acetic acid dominance.
Fig, dates and a strong sweet-and-sour mix of caramel and balsamic vinegar. Heavily syrupy and underfermented through the middle leading to a finish full of vinegar, vanilla and twangy/tangy fruits. Terrible.

Thank you for sharing tderoeck! 650 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBSG17. 2014 Vintage. Dark amber, little head. Nose is thick herbal sludge, bitter malt syrup, caramel. Surprisingly bitter herbal, thick bitter herbs, malt syrup, caramel, sludge. Nice lingering thick bitterness. Crude & far more bitter than expected especially with age but a very neat USA style bitter Barleywine.

22 oz. bottle shared by AdamChandler. Dark shitty brown in color. Aroma is very similar To a sour red/brown. Oh wow, it s a sour red! Ha ha ha vinegar, oak, smelly gym socks.

Dark fruit, old dirty socks, and a lot of funky malt. Intense and sour and dirty, no. I just hate this style in general.
