Carmely sweet, but not cloying. I prefer this one colder than other scotch ales.
Drank 750 ml of Project PAM by Founders Brewing (2015)December 12th, 2015
Drank 12 oz of Third Coast Old Ale by Bell's Brewery, Inc. (2014-09-05)December 10th, 2015

So rich and flavorful. What's left to say. I actually thought it tasted like a stout at first. Then the sweetness came out, kind of nutty. Reminds me of a master chef who knows how to use a dozen different spices to develop a complex flavor that is more than the sum of its significant parts. I need to get another six pack and start drinking at 3 years.

Really nice right now. Drank this one somewhat chilled. Kind of a harsh bitterness in the background but plenty sweet and lots of flavor.

Much sweeter than I remember, though not in an unbalanced way. Tasted a lot of dried fruit. Reminds me of Jubilation Ale now. I think I like this one better fresh. Will see what happens after another six months.

Don't let this one warm up to room temp. Best at cellar temp <65.
Drank 12 oz of Barrel Chested by Upland Brewing (2015-10)December 9th, 2015
2017-02-26
It's good. But don't age. Still, CW is better at about the same price...

OK, not a great candidate for aging. Still OK. It kind of tastes like a barrel aged Old Foghorn. Of course I hadn't had any OF before drinking the other two bottles of Barrel Chested. Has more underlying sweetness. I think the barrel has faded somewhat, or my palate has barrel fatigue. Reasonably priced and solid barleywine.

Carbonation much less pronounced. Still smells AMAZING (though my sister said it smelled like dill? and caramel). Very dark red, alcohol had a bit of a bite. Still tastes great at 6 months but might not gain anything by age. Only 6 months, though.

Garnet red, poured with more carbonation and thinner than I expected. Big malty bourbon aroma, much like a bourbon barrel scotch ale. Carbonation not a problem while drinking. Caramel and pecan notes. Delicious, with some heat. Last 1-2 ounces was very different. Smelled purely of whiskey and not much flavor. Like the watery stuff that runs down the sides of a glass of whiskey, or the residue that collects after finishing a glass? Not sure it would age well. Will see.

Great with lasagna.

Super roast, burnt flavor but not coffee-ish. Velvety mouthfeel. It's fine but I'd rather have a Guinness.
