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!

Really grew on me. Instant comp is root or birch beer. But dig a little deeper and find a refreshing complexity seldom attempted, let alone pulled off, anymore. A+ for originality

Hits on the “Old Fashioned” profile well. Boozy. Wish there was more malt character though. I enjoy beers that borrow flavors from great cocktails, but I like them to still have an underlying beer profile. Otherwise, I’ll just mix a cocktail.

Well, that's different. Get some orange and cherry swertness, with a nice alcohol kick.

Lots of flavors and not as boozy and I expected. Def a sipping brew, and a good one at that. Per Founders description, reminds one of an Old Fashioned.

This puzzles me. Notes of anise. Nose of cherry. Booze without the barrel. Touch of spice. This is a truly fun old fashioned ale. Make that one win for cocktail beers. The victory tally is sparse

Interesting, in a good way. Some booziness with fruitiness, neither one too strong or overwhelming. Nice balance of flavors. Not too sweet either.

Smelled better than it tasted. For 11% and barrel aged, flavor wasn’t that powerful
