Okay, has a dull appearance. But nice lacing. Malts are a touch thick, bitterness moderate and while they use Nelson and I7 in this, there isn’t nearly enough hop expression for me. So it’s just okay - but plus for the abv to not be too harsh.

Smoked, oak-aged doppelbock. Bright amber. Not much head. Sweet, a bit sticky actually. Light beech smoke and a fairly strong impact from the American oak tannins. They needed that barrel to bring a sense of balance to a sticky doppelbock.

Murky and dull. Thick head, though. Smells like wort with some hop really wanting to pretend it's there.

Pale, medium haze, grainy, low bitterness. Soft, almost too good on the malt character and not enough acetaldehyde. WA...it's not the same. I appreciate the effort. Let's do a collab. Cause the thing is, these little things...they make no sense.
