Year of New Beer: Earth & Flame, Victory Brewing (PA)
Written By: Dion on 03/11/2015
Molasses and ribbons of caramel streak the nose, intertwined with traces of leather, oak, peat, and bourbon. On the tongue is a layer of bourbon heat sweetened with vanilla, balanced against an earthy, smoked component. Woody, with undercurrents of raisins and fig, this one never seems quite as heavy as the ABV would suggest. Very nice.
