New Holland Dragon’s Milk Reserve with Raspberries
Nice clean aroma with a hint of raspberries. Slight edge of bourbon flavor that gets replaced by dark malt, and then a nice raspberry flavor comes in. Overall very balanced 3-way tug-of-war going on between bourbon, dark malt, and raspberries. You can feel the alcohol heart in the aftertaste, slightly lingering in the back of the throat. I think I would like it more of there were less bourbon presence, and it was just the dark malt and raspberries commingling.
Bottled 10/06/15, drank 11/17/15.

Filling Station Omena Harvest Ale
Fresh taste, not as hoppy as the description makes it sound. Fairly low bitterness bite, but decent hop flavor. Can taste the malt backing, menu days German pale, biscuit makes, and hint of crystal. I think I can taste the biscuit.

Blackrocks Grand Rabbits
Faint sweet aroma. First taste is fairly sweet and almost puckering. Finished smoothly with a sweet tinge that gives way to a neutral clean malt flavor.
