Hodgepodge is a blend of different leftover strong beers I had. I mixed them all together and filled up a Maple Rye Whiskey barrel to make an interesting...well...hodgepodge. After the barrel aging, it was conditioned on home made maple syrup from Fat Boys Sugar Shack (New Hampshire) and a dash of freshly brewed barleywine!

Deep coloration on the pour, an abyss of dark liquid in the glass. A soft ring of tight carbonation lingers around the perimeter of the liquid, beige in coloration; a massive contrast to the brooding blackness.
The nose exudes a cohesive complexity of dark fruit right away. Homemade caramel and Raisinet candies follow closely, complimenting the initial sweetness. To reference a throwback style, definitely getting Adambier vibes (a la Langst or Adam from the Wood). With time, getting underlying smokiness and chocolate-covered cherries.
The maple inclusion really showcases on the palate. Rich and sweet, but not cloying. There's a subtle bitterness to cut through and bring balance. We get notes of maple raisin oatmeal, vanilla, whiskey-soaked oak staves, and an increasing prominence of smoked malt on the tail.
The palate finishes with a great gravity. Well carbonated, and not too heavy on the palate. The finish is long, oaky, warming, and mildly dry, and lingers well into the next sip.
