Best Day of the Week
C.H. Evans Brewing Company

Poured from a wax sealed bottle dated as follows, Brewed 18 November 2015, Barreled 15 December 2015, Bottled 30 May 2016.
Into the test glass.
A - Clear Mahogany backdrop. Stunning color. Wandering gently the carbonation feeds a thin cap of off white confluence.
S - Toffee, raisin, broad leaf tobacco, roasted malt, kiss of cherry wood smoke, dark cherry reduction.
T - As complex as the nose, with toasted oak, vanillas from the barrel, strong malts with Munich and Rye adding peppery note. Port wine in the mix as well. Bold and complex
M - Thick on the palate, start is sweet, then quickly rolls into an alcohol release, which clears the runway for the finish, strong and malty, with dark sugar and toast on the palate. Linger is luxurious.
O - We picked up 2 of these special bottles at the brewery in Albany 2 years ago, aged in waxed bottles this offering has complexity to spare, excellent feel, cries for cold weather, Semi sweet, touch of smoke, excellent malt, barrel choice, and aging are near perfect. Not one element dominates. At 9.7% the alcohol is present in the best way, and active partner in the experience. Wonderfully done
