Always happy to see this gem. Malty, strong…. SO good….

The sweetness is what I’d expect in a triple, not so much a double. But it IS tasty. Big hops.

A bring back from Detroit when Founders was a thing there several years ago. Think I picked this up three years ago. Subtly sweet with the right amount of darkness and honey.

A Mikkeller beer bar while waiting for a flight home? If I must! Dark gold. A big boozy monster in a wee glass. The barrel aged flavours come through beautifully. Wow! Wish I could bring this home with me!
