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!

How can a beer start with a thick mouthfeel but finish thin? Regardless, it tastes really good!

Smells like an old fashioned. Tastes like a ba wheatwine. Enjoyable. But fizzles out a bit.

3.635. caramel + vanilla sweet , dried fruit (apricot?) + touch light spice in finish. Orange peel aftertaste. Flows well good strength + base good choice. However - there is no barrel here. I knew before buying - hoped they would compensate - they didn’t

Good, but I liked the other old fashion beer they had awhile back better

Boozy. Orange. Cherry. Definitely has an old fashioned vibe. Not bad.

I think this is as intended, but still cant get into this one. Call me "old fashioned" I guess. Even if I do live in the correct state.

Orange soda nose, some sweet cherry upfront. Not really BA forward, but it comes with each sip as it goes down. Idk about any brown ale base. Any of those characteristics are lost w/ the adjuncts. Fun beer, but PWs old cocktail series destroys this. 3.85+

Big and delicious. Ale with a fair amount of bourbon, some vanilla and caramel. Good with one.

Happy to try this one out. Pours a caramel brown color with aromas of citrus and sweetness. The mouthfeel is on the thinner end with flavors of caramel notes, vanilla sweetness, and some orange citrus. Overall, not too bad. Nice change up.

A bit different than I was expecting but as the label states this one is a sipper.

Well if you want a mixed drink, have a mixed drink. This is a beer that tries to taste like one. The barrel is nice. Otherwise, this is a miss.

Two different old fashioned based beers? Alrighty then ... Nose isn't really remarkable, and the body is much more cherry forward than I'd like. You get some orange notes on the back, but it feels rather hollow. Definitely doesn't drink at 11% though.

Brown Barleywine. Feel like I’ve had this a million times. Well crafted as usual but not super exciting.
