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!

Nice caramel, toffee and vanilla sweetness complemented by a fruit bouquet of plum, dates, raisin, candied cherry and orange bitters. All rounded out with some dry-oak and bourbon undertones throughout.

Loads of orange, cherry, vanilla, caramel and oakiness. I made myself a bourbon old fashioned before trying this, and the notes definitely track. This is fantastic!

Almost more like a barleywine but not as boozy. Let it warm up a bit, but it's a good choice.

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

I did enjoy this quite a bit more than I thought, definitely get the subtle dark fruits, caramel , orange peel, however for me the barrel tasted more like tequila than bourbon. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Cherry, caramel, vanilla and oranges in the aroma. Taste has cherry and caramel first, followed by vanilla, oranges and a hint of bourbon. The body is medium+ with a medium-ish amount of carbonation. Very interesting combo of flavors, but it works. 4/5
