Smokestack Series Collaboration No. 6 Barrel Aged Blend

Tilled, brown, earth-colored body with Irish cream colored crown. Hazy, slick lacing that runs fast. Malty, chocolate nose, with vanilla and cocoa beans, figs, cardamom, old mint, cherrywood and teak, brown fall leaves, and sweet cigar smoke. Rich, but not hot for 12.5 abv. The sheer hoppiness of the beast combined with the tartness of the cherry, is mysteriously keeping everything afloat. Dried cherry, cola, pepper, dark tobacco, thyme, oregano, vanilla mocha, dark chocolate covered candied grapefruit peel, Sixlets, French onion soup, hyper-carmelized. Staggering complexity here, and I’ve barely scratched the barrel.
