Cabinet Blend from Long Eared Farm and Cidery (Alexander, United States 🇺🇸)

7.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 7 Overall 8
375ml from Appalachian. Lo-ball at home after a short WFH afternoon.

Murky medium gold, not quite hazy but thicker on the second pour. Thin ring of lace doesn't want to be here.
Earthy sweet nose, Woodwick candle, mildly macerated funk on the nose.
Fizzy, acidic, slurry, grape skin fruity, more sharp than bittersweet apple blend, floral, baby power numbness, earthy Dabinett finish.

Good blend.

Coconut Whiskey Barrel Imperial Stout from Diatribe Brewing Company (Asheville, United States 🇺🇸)

8oz pour at the source with my wife & doggo. Beautiful day but their porch is right on the curb & the street smells of motor oil. Came inside for the last few rounds.

Matte black pour, faulty light brown head with some sticky lace.
Nose is soy sauce, whiskey, chocolate & desiccated coconut.
Upfront charred & oily coconut. An itch of starchiness. Sweet & smokey whiskey barrel & earthy hops. Very delicate & well hidden abv. Lingering barrel. Silky & oily body reminds me of Hoppin Frog in the best way.

Great.

6.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 7 Overall 6
Surprised wife didn't want this one. Got a half pour to try.

Half hazy, watermelon-raz colored sort of pour with ample head.
Big raspberry jam, candy nose with some chlorine.
Thin, dry raspberry, half sweet n sour, malic acid, lime-like acidity, inviting tartness, very slight aecitic. End is leaning dry.

Okay+.
