Nate: Revolution proving once again they've got one of the best barrel programs around.
Nate is drinking a Double Barrel V.S.O.R. by Revolution Brewing at Grodziskie Gardens
Malty barrel drenched depths previously unexplored by mankind. Limitless layers of complex oak character, thick caramel figgy toffee pudding malt, an almost maple like sweetness, perfectly balanced by massively complex towers of old oak tannin.

Nate is drinking an Oude Schaarbeekse Kriek Boon by Brouwerij Boon at Grodziskie Gardens
Lots of rich dark sweet cherry juice alongside a touch of funky lambic and a frothy finish. I remember this being better but perhaps there's some bottle variation. Averaging out to a 4

Nate is drinking a Squarer of Circles by Epochal Barrel Fermented Ales at Grodziskie Gardens
Fairly light body, clean biscuity malt, funky Bretty straw and a touch of leather, a little tangy leafy hop. Finishes spritzy and dry. Excellent as always, I really hope Epochal continues to appear on US shelves

Nate is drinking a Ryeway To Heaven (2024) by Revolution Brewing at Grodziskie Gardens
Big caramel chees and rich toffee malt, lots of creamy rye and oak entangled with bold sweet malts. Maybe cleaner than previous batches if that makes any sense? Great stuff as always

Thick milk chocolate, a surprising amount of fig and anise, a wonderful creamy mix of vanilla and coconut, and a bit of rich toasty complex barrel in a chocolatey finish.
