Waving At Strangers
Noon Whistle Brewing Co.

16oz undated can poured into a snifter shows a dark maple colored, opaque body glowing a proud bronze when backlit and briefly supporting a thin cap of tiny, cream colored bubbles that disappears to a wispy cloud. Agitation produces sheets of lacing with legs.

Aromas of buttery toffee and a bright stone fruit note are exciting and that flavor matches. No booze heat or warmth. (Wow.)

Feel is an interesting mix of creamy, chewy, and slick.

Overall a very well done example.

On tap at the brewery tap room - Naperville, IL
L: brown body; foamy tan head
S: caramel, grain, bread crust, earthy hops
T: caramelized grain, bread crust, toffee, brown sugar, earthy hops
F: full body, syrupy & sticky, ample carbonation
O: good example of the barley wine style

Burnt amber to acorn red and somewhat foggy with a short khaki head settling to an uneven bubbly ring.

This take is very cola and even Old Fashioned like, although accented by some nice dark caramels.
