Very sweet smell, makes your nosebuds pucker- if that’s something that can actually happen. Can smell hints of the bourbon barrel. Taste initially is slightly harsh, but the mellowing effect of the barrel kicks in and smooths out out. Leaves a slight bourbon/malt aftertaste. Not too strong of bourbon, but if you can’t stand it you might want to avoid this one.
Slightly sweet aroma. Fairly wet, flat taste with a noticeable hop bite. As the drink goes down the chute, you can taste the oak flavors mix in along with a much stronger hop flavor. Finally there’s a slightly lingering alcohol burn for a brief moment.
Slight sweet smell. Nice even flavored hop flavor, with a nice malty hop flavor on the end. Leaves you with a slightly sweet, but clean taste. Flavorful, but not over the top.
Slight sweet smell. Great strong grainy hops taste. Finishes crisp with a clean biting hop aftertaste that slowly fades. Very nice. Had this one on draft at the brewery.
5 out of 5 stars.
Craft beer and homebrew from a Michigan perspective.
