Sampling a cellar temp 500 ml bottle poured into my snifter. Bottled on date is 08/06/2024.
The beer pours a clear toffee to mahogany brown color with minimal light passage when I hold the glass to a light source. Dense khaki colored head of 0.5 cm foams up and fades to a thin edging soon after the pour.
Aroma on this beer is toffee and brown sugar with a good dosage of peach comes through. I dont get any hops and the booze is hidden so far with the aroma.
First sip reveals a medium body with sort of slick mouthfeel. Carbonation is larger bubble size feels bubbly in my mouth. Sorry terrible descriptor, but bubbles feel like they pop larger than I would expect. Its a unique feeling to me.
Flavor is toffee and brown sugar with hints of bourbon, a bitey black pepper booze hit in the middle and long lingering dried peach flavor after each swallow. never any hop content discovered on this beer and no warming of booze either. The bite in the middle is the only hint of the 14.5%.
Im enjoying this beer and the peach flavor works well. Glad to have tried this one, would drink it again.
