Very well balanced, somewhat understated, barrel-aged barley wine. Not too boozy, pleasantly caramel-toffee, mildly sweet. Definitely not as hoppy as I'm used to getting from Shmaltz. Delicious.

Similar to the Incarnation, but with the brightness muted somewhat by cask flatness and warmer temperatures. Some more oily bitterness and malt sweetness contribute to the effect. I get the feeling I would have liked this on regular CO2 a little more, and without the direct comparison.

Sweet, frothy thick porter with lots of caramel and coffee but not much of anything in the way of pecans, I thought. I think some kind of nutty bitterness would have cut through the simple sweetness nicely.

A dry chocolate stout with some bitterness. The label says ancho chilies and vanilla went into this, but you'd have to squint to get more than the barest hint. There's noticeable chocolate, but I really wanted to taste more of the unusual stuff.
