This collaboration with Skeleton Key Brewery was released two months ago and has 362 ratings @ UnTappd. But none of them will tell you what I can on BA because BAers can talk forever... and sometimes do.

Only three weeks past the solstice, a pretty ruby refracts a still-low setting sun; poured into my Two Brothers tulip (appropriately, I suppose, as they are a sibling collaboration.) Mostly malt. Seasonal Smells are modest, more pine than holiday spices. Tastes are balanced, enough tingle from the hops to keep the 7% sweet malts in check. Finishes like the season, goes on for a long time and sits peacefully in the mouth.

This is only my third new/unique warmer this season; I've had almost a dozen repeats. Winter's Bone probably could be a repeat, but the collaboration would have to come back. My only suggestion is to spice up the nose. (I have a theory that Covid changes how we Smell and brewers should consider adapting.)

My third from Phase 3, they are impressive for a three year old; surviving two of them in Covid so far. So bravo to them and I hope to see them again; but give me a couple of years to catch-up with all Chicagoland's other micro and nanos.
