White Birch Barrel Aged Night Falls
Thanks to jdiddy for breaking this one out. Bottle# 101 out of 240. Pours the color of cola with zero head. Red highlights are revealed around the edges and a thin swirl of foam coalesces around the shoulders. Nose is vinous, slightly vinegary, roasty and a trace of cocoa comes out towards the back. Flavors do not really come together very well in my opinion. Vinous, vinegary and acrid. Mouthfeel is light-medium, extremely acidic and astringent. The salivary glands are stimulated by the acidity - it's all a bit too overpowering. This is not a good beer, and this was the consensus by the group. Another drain pour from this brewery.
