Has some really nice caramely notes and the barrel is about as well integrated as you could hope but... this style just isn't a good candidate for barrel aging. Fun, but not a banger.

Great. Would crush again.

Yeah, this is pretty much what I want when I want a pilsener.

It's pretty good. Wish he would do the Oud Bruin again.

Has mellowed out a bit. Not sure how much character this will develop. Didn't overly impress me from the start so it's probably not my bag. Cran-bic, Enigma, Oud Bruin, Wild Sour, those are worth the space. This is refreshing. Goes well with trout. Probably won't buy again. Not because it's bad but there is great stuff out there and available.

Wish it were maltier, I guess that would be an Oud Bruin. Should develop some nice funk so I'll be patient with the other bottles.

This is straight up Silhouette.

Peach/Apricot juice.

A miracle! This bottle was excellent. Two previous 2014s were cardboard. When it's right, it's great.

This wasn't good. I'm chalking it up to being past prime (although 5 weeks isn't THAT old) and likely not being refrigerated. Initially thought I was getting big hop aroma, but it's really a little hop mixed with malt sweetness. This tasted like a six month old 90 minute. Clear and bitter, but not well balanced. I'm not going to judge based on my experience with this can.

They pretty much nailed this one. Maple is there. Nutty, dry bitterness is there from the old ale. Light on the bourbon, no big deal. A dessert beer for sure, very sweet. But good for the right situation/mood.
