A 12oz bottle with a bottled on date of 6.4.13. Broke this out of the cellar. Just 147 cases produced

L - Cloudy orange/yellow hue. No head or lace (it's old!)

S - Grapes, chardonnay, citrus, and oak. I imagine this is what a chardonnay barrel smells like

T - Grapes and chardonnay. Oakiness. Tastes just like chardonnay. Hidden high abv. Excellent beer!

F - Dry, thin body, and medium carbonation.

O - This brew is as close to chardonnay as a beer can get. The wildness adds a kick. Awesome brew!

Had from a bottle on May 20, 2017 at stone brewing. This beer has aged exceptionally well with the oak and Chardonnay flavors imparting a remarkable color, smell a texture...likely a crisp buttery Chardonnay on a summer day.
