Nate is drinking a Blended With Lumber #2 by Timber Ales at Grodziskie Gardens
Roasty chocolate and caramel, a touch of creamy coconut and cinnamon, and a really nice charred oak character. Despite it being only 1/3 barrel aged, there is a lot of oak

Nate is drinking a Blondinette De Printemps by Brasserie Fantôme at Grodziskie Gardens
This is one amazing spring saison. Bright, fresh, and floral. Lemon lime, floral hops, a zip of orange peel, some earthiness, and some light bitterness into the dry finish. I think I'll need to grab a few more

Nate is drinking a Black Damnation 05 - Double Black (Vintage 2018) by De Struise Brouwers at Grodziskie Gardens
Crazy how not boozy this is despite the huge 26% ABV. Tons of dense chocolate, fig, raisin, a slightly peaty smoky licorice type thing, oak, caramel, and very little heat in the finish. Really puts the danger in "dangerously smooth"

Nate is drinking a Per Our Last Email by Angry Chair Brewing at CLAG Brewing
Weird carbonation quality and a touch of sweet apple hiding in there alongside lots of sweet chocolate, tons of vanilla, cookies and cream ice cream. Not getting any peanut butter. Off flavors are on the lighter side

I was expecting this to have gone downhill over the years, but nah. Layers and layers of milk chocolate, dark chocolate, raisin, caramel sauce, subtle woody maple (mostly wood), whole vanilla beans, tannic oak char. Amazing stuff
