Krampus V
Greenbush Brewing Company

12 ounce bottle into a tulip snifter. Bottled 11/6/18, had 4/2/19.

Pours a medium orange/amber, a little cloudy, with a half inch foamy head and light, foamy cling. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, malt, dates, grain, some plums, light cherries, some grapes as it warms, faint maple. The flavor coincides with the aroma- caramel, malt, brown sugar, dates, light plums and cherries, some grain, a light bitterness throughout. Smooth, a good medium body, well carbonated.

Very good and enjoyable, the aroma is a little better than the taste. Nothing really stands out here, which is kind of the same for the whole series. Should age well.

Very dark copper coloring with a minimal tan head which dissipates quickly. Noticed very little aroma. Taste is sweet with dark stone fruits. Green Bush calls it an Oat Wine. 12% abv but it doesn’t have a heavy alcohol feel. Very smooth mouthfeel. Good not great.
