See What I See Blend #2
Anchorage Brewing Company

 

 

Pours dark brown with minimal head and lacing. Scents and flavors of dark fruit and bourbon, toffee and caramel notes as well on the taste. Subtle booziness at first, then a burn on the back end. Medium bodied, slight oily thickness. Excellent barrel aged Barleywine,

Beautiful 375ML bottle topped with black wax, & the artwork of a raptor with bright silver eyes is stunning. I should have my credit card taken away.

Looks like the heart-blood of a brown crayon with a thin but persistent ring of bubbles, plus a few randos hanging on. Nose reeks of booze, caramel, vanilla, & beefy red fruit.

See What I See (Blend #2) erupts with flavor in my face-hole. Booze is prominent; no surprise there. Huge bourbon hit that twists nearly into cognac territory; there must be some weird organic compounds bumpin’ uglies in this glass. After those monsters several caramel infused caramel squares slathered with liquid caramel, red fruit basket, & a sonic boom of sweetness on the finish. Thick & sticky & warming. I am going to nurse this like my favorite patient & hope there’s more in the bottle when I go back later.

Looking back, I’ve had six borderline perfect beers in the last two months, which is a normal amount per year for me. This is one. If the nose brought what the taste brought this might be idyllic. As is, just bloody fantastic

The darkest brown opaque pour with a tan cap that transforms slowing into a ring. Elevated boozy nose with stupid amounts of molasses, caramel and dark fruit, especially fig and plum. Oak with vanillins, barley, a hint of char and leather support. Taste is a dark fruit explosion version of the nose, molasses big too, oak and barley at finish more pronounced. Feel is smooth, barrel forward, barley elegantly comes through. Fantastic! The wife loved it. Candidate for beer of the year so far
