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!

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

Not nearly as coffee forward as most stouts. Definitely sweeter than most, too. Solid.

Definitely hits some of the proper flavor notes for an Old Fashioned. It’s enjoyable, but far from exceptional.

Very interesting. The description is spot on. Smooth bourbon with notes of vanilla and caramel with a cherry finish. Quite enjoyable.

Initially cherry and orange zest are present. Then it gives way to a nice caramel malt taste. Very nice.

Was not expecting to like this. Other than being a little boozy, the flavors are mild, but blend well.
