Who's been drinking this

Quick short tangy caramel profile. Not a very strong ending.
In context, it's clear that this is much sweeter than I remembered. Still, it has a hoppier complexity than the others, which stands out.
Bottle at Work
So much going on in this beer, as expected. The balance is much better than the 14, with less sweetness, some pronounced hoppiness, caramel, caramel, caramel, and about a billion barrels of Firestone Walker magic.
