Made with some of the same malt as the world's finest scotch whiskeys, oats, brown sugar, and aged on Hungarian oak chips.

32oz growler from the brewery.

Two fingers of off-white head, excellent head retention. Hazed amber hue, bubbly. Very aromatic; alcohol, toffee, fresh baguette, faint vanilla, white pepper, wood, and dragon fruit. Very smooth, thick medium body, creamy and a bit slick. Sweet, bready, slightly buttery, nutty yeast, prickly alcohol, very malty, pears, balanced hoppiness, big warmth, ripe dates, finishes semi-sweet with a lingering booziness.

Big and tasty, very bold but still very much a joy to sip. A beer this size needs a stinky cheese to pair with.
