Smoothed out a bit with age. Almost gritty on first sip after the sours, but it got better. Thick and sweet, with a long, mild vanilla following the initial alcohol hit all the way to the finish. Sticks around a little in the throat afterwards.
Sweet, cherry-caramel-bourbon boozy flavors with a medium thin body. Well-balanced and finishes clean, but a bit one note to stand out in a crowded field of barreled strong ales.
A creamy, thick stout with a lot of chocolate presence. Briefly tart, but also with a salty aspect that was a very pleasant surprise and squashed expectations set by the bourbon barrel stout from before. Like a salted hot chocolate - very, very yummy.
funky sweetness, reminds be off that soyish flavor clif bars have. Easy enough to drink but taste is odd. A bit sweet on the finish. I'd assume this is what "craft Budweiser" would taste like
Out of the can this gluten-free offering looks promising, with good carbonation and a clean, crisp pour. The head dissipates quickly in big bubbles, leaving behind a "beery," bitter, stale ale whose aftertaste is as soapy as the head appeared.
