Very slight hop aroma plus hints of caramel malt. Taste is fairly smooth with no hop bite, then a rush of caramel malt and clean neutral yeast taste. Nice combination of all with hops actually taking a slightly more background presence, but still a clean crispness.
Fresh hop aroma. Taste is slightly crisp followed by strong fruitiness like juice. Taste on back end is slightly drying from yeast and gives hints of alcohol intensity. Overall a bit sweet, almost like spiked orange juice.
Thick dark licorice-like aroma. Heavy chocolate flavor that’s chunky on the palate. Fades to general dark malt flavor, them lingering sugary sweetness.
Bright flowery hop aromas. Crisp bite on first drink, softens, them replaced by flavorful hop expressions. A little bit of malt and yeast in aftertaste, but finished fairly cleanly.
Faint soft aroma almost like a mild fruit. Fairly substantial flavor bite at first of dark malt and yeast sweetness that gradually fades down to just a moderate clean malt taste.
The label says with chocolate and peanut butter. Can’t really taste the peanut butter, but maybe that gives some of the lingering nuttiness. As it warms, hints of the bourbon barrel sneaks in. But still very smooth.
Mild aroma of dark chocolatey malts. Tweaks the palate with dryness from the yeast and quickly fills in with clean dark malt flavors. Finishes fairly clean with hints of dark chocolate lingering on the edges.
Faint resinous hop aroma. Smooth taste on the palate, some mild hop flavors come in, mixed with some light caramel-y malts. Very light flavor overall, and easy to drink large amounts. But the flavor is so mild, it doesn’t really beg lots of drinking…
4 out of 5 stars.
Craft beer and homebrew from a Michigan perspective.
