Polewnik is our collaboration with Roc Brewing Company. It's a bourbon-barrel aged Experimental Grodziskie, our take on a traditional Polish-style smoked wheat beer. It's a little sweet, smoky, and boozy, with notes of honey and vanilla.

On tap at Strangebird Beer in Rochester, NY.

This one pours a golden and slightly hazy yellow color, with a small head, and a little bit of lacing.

This smells like wheat, banana, smoked sausage, ham, vanilla, and lemon.

This is pretty bizarre stuff. The barrel doesn't leave overt bourbon character, but it does leave some vanilla and caramel. There's some light banana, clove, and wheat character, with distinct meaty smoke character.

This is light bodied, with a decent enough smoothness. It's an odd sip though, so you take it pretty slow.

I appreciate the willingness to get weird here.
