Steve Holoien is drinking a B-Bomb (2022) by Fremont Brewing at Gourmet Haus Staudt
Leadoff in flight is a blend of 9, 12, and 24-month old barrel-aged Winter Ales. There’s bourbon, oak, cacao, leather, toffee, and coffee notes. Each barrel contributes a different nuance. Wow. Columbus, Willamette, and US Goldings hops.

Steve Holoien is drinking an Ayinger Maibock / Goldenbock by Ayinger Privatbrauerei at Gourmet Haus Staudt
Last one; fourth in flight. Pleasant malty aroma and taste. The flavor is big like darker bocks. Nice dry crispness.

Earned the I'll Be Bock (Level 7) badge!
Steve Holoien is drinking a Celler Series: Oaked Honey, Apricot & Nectarine by 2 Towns Ciderhouse at Gourmet Haus Staudt
Third one; quite sweet. Sharp aromatics of stone fruit followed by oak and honey. Acidity from nectarines/apricots, softened by the honey. Mellow tannins of toasted French Oak too.
Taster
An old favorite, Perpetual Sounds, with the DDH treatment. Fruity blueberry-focused Mosaic, plus peachy-grapefruit forward Amarillo. End result is pretty sweet.
