Malt: Two-row pale combined with cherrywood and peat smoked, Briess Extra Special, Munich and Caramel 60. Overall Impression: Immensely complex, well balanced with distinct notes of prunes, dates, Madeira, bourbon, wood, and maple syrup. Mouthfeel: Inky, warming, thick, almost syrupy, uncarbonated with some tannic character (perhaps from the barrel). Aftertaste: Fully two minutes after tasting, sugars and alcohol continue to linger on the palate with hints of brown sugar, bread soaked in freshly tapped maple doused with cognac, and raisin sugar (think licking the inside of a box of raisins). Sticky dates, bourbon, cognac, prune paste, raisins, brown sugar, figs, redwood, cedar, dark rustic bread, graham cracker, Madeira, maple, mild peat, caramel, pecan pie, stewed walnuts, freshly opened box of cigarettes, chocolate dusting, a touch of fruit cake, sea salt, and port.įlavor: A complex balanced layering of rich flavors including prunes, hot liquor, stewed dark fruits in rum, sweet bourbon, dates, dried Bing cherry, figs, almonds, Madeira, caramel, walnut shell, brown sugar, black walnut, and raisins soaked in fine Scotch. Although there is no head and no sign of carbonation, swirling the glass coats the interior with a veritable cancan-line of thick legs.Īroma: The aroma is a delightfully intriguing experience unto itself. Special addition in the blend: Kosmic Mother Funk® wild ale aged in Hungarian oak tuns for over one year.Īppearance: Pours a hazy cola brown color with a consistency closer to a liqueur or light syrup. Oldest barrel-aged beer used in the blend: 20 years. Hops: Spalt Spalter, Hallertau Mittelfureh, and Tettnang Tettnanger.īarrels: Buffalo Trace Distillery single-use bourbon and Portuguese port casks.
