This time around we brewed at our brewery in Milton, DE and made a deep, golden ale spiced with cardamom and fermented using a robust Belgian yeast strain. One third of the volume was then aged for 6 months in oak brandy barrels. Spice, esters, and sweet brandy dominate the aroma. A robust 10% abv is rounded by caramel and vanilla notes from the wood with a slight spiciness coming from the yeast.

From 750ml bottle it pors a slight hazed light golden color . Smell is spice yeast malt and citrus . Taste was herbal and woody with lemondrop ,cardamom citrus and very slight Belgian funk. Mouth feel was herbal light not funky ends with cardomen.

Pours a dark gold out of an expensive 750ml bottle. Nobody would want 6 bottles of this, so they make it in this format. And charge you more for it.

Aroma dropped the shitty cardamom as promised. Belgian yeast. Lemony hops. Alcohol.

Taste dropped a substantial wood quotient, along with big alcohol heat, can't make out the kind of tree this wood came from, it seems to be obscure and therefore more cool in the eyes of nerds.

Cardamom just really ruins this beer for me, it is such a bomb. Not to mention that it drinks hot. Definitely would not bang again.
