Year of New Beer: Ales From the Wood: Rise-n-Shine, Terrapin Beer Co (GA)

Whiskey and dark fruits lead a nose that also features a nice coffee base with hints of oak and chocolate. On the tongue, slightly tart cherry and plum are layered over a sturdy whiskey note. Traces of vanilla work with creamy oats to provide a bit of sweetness as oak, chocolate, and earthy hops arrive late. A light coffee comes in after the swallow. Very nice beer with a lot of complexity if you exercise a little patience.
