Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter

Brown Ale - American

They don't make 'em like they used to... or do they? The bottle shop series is a tribute to the folks who supported ragtag brewer's across the country when craft beer was in its infancy. when beer enthusiasts sought out innovation through big flavor, in your face complexity and revered quality above all else. This series is for you: the distinguished beer connoisseur still seeking the revolution that energized the industry we know today -- that settles for nothing less then the very best!

Honestly nearing unenjoyable for me. The whole thing was off-balance to me. Too... Sour? Something...

The orange peel offsets the bourbon flavor so it's a nice blend and beautiful

Perfect balance of bourbon. 🥃It doesnt overpower the taste. It has a nice more orange 🍊than cherry🍒 taste in the back. 11%abv Cheers!🤤🍺🤙

I know I just checked this in 17 days ago. But A) it’s still delicious and B) it highlights the writing on my new glass much better than my previous check in. Thanks again Nathan B. I’ll be up at five ready to hit the water in the morning 🎣Cheers 🍻

Hint of oaky bourbon on the nose, faint cherry & vanilla. Fairly thick body, moderate carbonation. Lots of caramel on the finish, b/w vanilla & maraschino cherry. A true Old Fashioned in a beer. Delightful!

Bourbon, caramel, curacao, orange peel and spices. More cocktail than beer imo. A little too sweet.

Bottled 7/7/21. Thicker body, darker, slightly aromatic, strong, but ABV well hidden, a bit roasty, kinda' clean, very smooth, malty, a little bitter, chocolate & vanilla notes, a little fruity/cherry? Brown sugar sweetness, barrel-aged/bourbon/oakiness.
