Canned 6/10/26. Received as an extra, otherwise would not have waited to open this long. Drunk 9/2/26.
Wow, just an absolute glass of thick, bronze concrete. Smells rich, unsurprisingly, with a touch of caramel that gives it the darker color. Very fruity, juicy, with tons of melon and a huge dankness underneath. Lush and mineral-rich with no herbage, only light spice and surprisingly not as given to the malt as expected. No alcohol noted.
Very fruity, rich melon with toasted biscuit and light pine. Body lighter than expected, perhaps from the use of the specialty malt, or maybe just the 3 months to dry out. The melon and light white grape is lovely, but it's a bit light-bodied and timid for its size, and I'm not sure what the caramel malts accomplish here. Not getting any alcohol at this point, which is great. But yeah, need a bit more hop intensity and maybe even more body for a 9%er.
