7.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Can - was feeling in a hazy ipa kinda mood and this highest just fine - the cashmere hops really pop here, and there is a nice spiciness to it, as well- grassy, herbal, slightly catty (but not in a bad way) - soft in the mouth and medium sweet - nothing I’ll remember tomorrow, but tasty enough.

Can purchased from the brewery - pours a dark ruby - fizzy, but no head - presents more barleywine than stout - treacle, dark fruit, light oxidation - the rye barrel is pretty forward through the middle - finish brings in stout elements of chocolate and a little smoke - this is also the moment the bourbon comes through and lasts into the finish - finish is a little hot, but not terribly so - it’s pretty good!

12 ounce at the brewery - hazy gold - super dry, moderately bitter, mildly spicy - semi-rustic grain/straw character - really mild background bugginess - finish is grassy, with some touches of white pepper - finish is a touch watery, but it’s pretty good.

Bottle from the brewery - this is around the time of year I really start jonesing for some barleywine - and for some reasons in Colorado, the shit just doesn’t show up until March for some reason - not a single fucking barleywine in my local bottle shops - not even Bigfoot - so when I saw this at the brewery today I was like, fuck it; I’m desperate - even though I know River North, despite their prowess at high abv beers, can never seem to get barleywine right - anyway, this one pours turbid amber - minimal lace - some earthy malt and wheat - but of brined cherry - some oxidation and sherry notes - light oak and whiskey - finish is a little hot - lingering spicy oak - a little rough around the edges, but one of their better attempts.

Ex-Honey Whiskey Barrel Aged Weizenbock from River North Brewery (Denver, United States 🇺🇸)

6.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 6.5
Bottle picked up from the brewery - clear amber - no head / doesn’t present as a weizenbock at all - nose is wood, whiskey, caramelized sugars - flavor is surprisingly dry - some of the spice you’d expect from the style, lots of oak, touches of whiskey, and faint wheat and caramel - touches of dark fruit - finish is spicy, dry, oaky - would have guessed Belgian dark strong before weizenbock - crude, but not totally unenjoyable.

5 ounce bottle pour at the brewery - hazy light gold - creamy texture, full in the mouth - very dry, and the juniper and botanicals from the gin really pop here, adding a lot of depth but not overpowering - light acidity, particularly in the finish, with strong oak and a touch of funk - can’t detect the lavender - it’s pretty good.

5 ounce bottle pour at the brewery - lightly hazy light gold - heavily oaky, notes of peach and other stone fruit - a light sourness/acidity that leads to a very dry finish with lingering oak - the acidity tastes artificial, almost like they dumped some malic acid into it, so that is off-putting for me - it’s okay.
