Barrel aged IPA which tends toward the sweet side. Bit of white grape and plenty of bourbon on the nose, but hoppy bitterness is quite present as well. Smooth? This isn't.
Sits kind of in the middle of the Daisy Cutter and the Bottom Up - a saison with very piney hop notes with some strong Belgian yeast spice notes - mainly white pepper and a touch of woodsmoke. Finishes quite clean, and at first was very appealing, but continued drinking started feeling more and more perfumey.
I'm hoping this is the next trend. A really nice, malty, bourbony but not-too-sweet flavor. A touch of salt, maybe, making for a nice balance in a salted caramel kind of way. There was a weird bitterness at the end which knocked it down slightly for me.
