Bottle at C&R Pre-GBBF Tasting 2017. It pours hazy yellow with a small white head. The aroma is stinky, farty, wood, damp hay, vanilla, honey, candy, toffee apple, intoxicating alcohol, brioche and oak. The taste is tangy, sweet, sugary, apple, melon, candy, white bread, spice, dry wood, hint of vanilla, earth, brandy and toasted grain with a drying finish. Full body and fine carbonation. A bit heavy and sweet for my liking. OK.

The great pre GBBF bottleshare at ChrisO’s. Very hazy gold beer, good cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Thin malts, decent creamy sweetness. Nice mellow bourbon soaked fruits. Trace of coconut. Light brandy underneath. Mild ripe fruits on the back end. Pretty light and approachable.

Bottle shared at Chriso’s and Ruth pre GBBF shindig, August 5, 2017. Hazy orange, quite nice creamy look. Sweet nose, slight spices, pear and melon, relatively mild fruits. Taste has some boozy edge but remains creamy and is not really sweet which is definitely a plus. Liking that a lot better than I like triples usually.
