Benzai Profile - Brewver

Bottle shared at mini-tasting. Opaque dark brown color, average sized beige head. Aroma is malts, dark malts, smoked malts. Flavor is similar, with lightly bourbon but way less intense as I had expected. Pleasant lingering malt bitter finish with some bourbon notes. Not bad but a bit thin bodied as well. And the caramel is not a good addition. Hmm, not bad, but not great either.

Bottle shared at mini-tasting. Apple juice dark golden color, small white head. Aroma is medium to strong apple, light sugar hints. Flavor is similar. Finish is, I would say, on a scale of 1-7 where 1 is dry and 7 is sweet, a 3. Just below mid-mid.

7.1/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 9 Overall 6.5

Bottle shared at mini-tasting. Opaque dark brown color, medium to full sized light brown colored head. Aroma is malts, dark malts a bit, caramel-ish, heavy barrel influence. Flavor is malts, again heavy barrel, also some overripe fruit notes in an intense way, sweet liquor soaked raisins, lingering intense fruit-boozy and somewhat bitter notes. Heavy, thick texture, average carbonation. Not exactly my kind of beer but definitely well brewed.
