ADJUNCTS: Dulce de Leche and Coconut
BARREL: Colorado rye whiskey and Barbados rum barrels
Legend has it that the high seas conceal all sorts of mysteries, and now, one legend has found its way to our shores. Introducing Bad Mermaid, a tantalizing Imperial Blonde aged in rye whiskey and rum barrels pirated from the Caribbean islands. A shipwreck of dulce de leche and coconut treasure are protected by this siren of the sea.

12 ounce can into a tulip snifter. Canned 10/2/23, had 4/8/24.
Pours an orange amber color, fairly clear, with a brief head and intermittent foamy lacing. Aromas of caramel, coconut, some rye whiskey, some vanilla and brown sugar, light rum, light chocolate and oak. Pretty similar flavors: rye whiskey, caramel, coconut, vanilla, light rum, light chocolate and brown sugar, light oak. Smooth, a very good lighter medium body, well carbonated.
Very enjoyable. The coconut pops as it warms, the rye barrels and dulce de leche show well. Lots of solid aromas and flavors. The combination really works well.
