Bottle Shop Series: Highball Drifter (2021)

Brown Ale - Imperial / Double

There’s a new sheriff in town – meet Highball Drifter, a barrel-aged sipper inspired by our favorite bourbon-based cocktails. The second entry in our Bottle Shop Series, Highball Drifter presents aromatics of caramel and vanilla, dried fruit and spice while hints of cherry and bitter orange peel whisk you away like a tumbling tumbleweed. Call us old-fashioned, but we think you’re going to love it.

Får lite barleywinekänning från detta, fast inte den sorten som ger rysningar av avsmak. Sötman är dock stor, mycket spritsmak, smörkola, torkad frukt, kryddor och apelsinskal. Som en drink med en skvätt jäger i, fint efter en heldag plogande.

Awesome flavor all the way to finish, awesome brew!!! Metal detected an old homesite and found a couple WWI-WWII Great Seal military buttons.

A lot of flavor. Fruity, maraschino cherries. Bourbony, barrel aged character.

Two years in the cellar smoothed this one out, but made it a little too sweet. Still good.

有点像清爽版本的世涛,回温后有着怡人地樱桃、香草香气,风味上也有体现,不过主要集中在尾段

Rich bourbon aroma, rich and warning with a malty sweetness and flavours of bourbon barrel, brown sugar as well as fruity prune notes. Nice sipper especially with the cold winter outside ❄️

Bottled 7.07.21. Mellowed quite a bit, but still strong. The citrus is the most prominent flavor, but this was always a complex beer. Great stuff

Karamell,vanília,a hordó aromái,visszafogott meggy és narancshéj. Nem túl édes,nem túl alkoholos. Viszont gyönyörű a balansz. Nagyon jó ez!
