J P: Ya paint a pretty picture of this brew! Except for tannic; that's only aspect not appealing. All the rest sounds fantastic.
Eric Griffin is drinking a No Sleep by Anchorage Brewing Company at Untappd at Home
Unique profile for the style, but didn’t 100% work. Maple coffee nose; sweet & roasty. Vanilla & chocolate intensify w/ time. Palate is barrel-forward, w/ coffee imparting acidity & bitterness. Salted caramel espresso vibes. Aggressive dry, oaky burn.

Take your time w/ this. Nose w/ almond, pecan, & barrel. Notes of caramelized fruit & earthy, maple tones that bolster the vanilla. Huge oaky bourbon notes on late inhale. Palate barrel-heavy, mildly bittering. Apple crisp, whiskey, pecan sandies. Tannic.

Eric Griffin: J P. It works for the profile, but that’s my biggest beef with Apple Brandy. Just has that tannic/tartness that’s subtle but is always so harsh to cut the profile. In this case it’s subtle and definitely works

Loads of dark fruit on the nose; prune, caramelized cherry, & vanilla yogurt raisins. Temp & time bring further complexity of Port wine & whiskey-soaked staves. Palate w/ strong Barrel character; drying oak, prune, tobacco, & leather. Warm, dry finish.

Liquid Samoas on the nose; coconut macaroons, chocolate, & vanilla. W/ time & temp, barrel integrates, bringing smoke & fresh oak. Palate more subdued in sweetness; bittering coconut, chocolate w/ undertones of malt, tobacco, & a touch of smoked maple.

Eric Griffin is drinking a Double Barrel Whale Rider - Black Ninja x 17% Drip (2023) by Weathered Souls Brewing Co. at Untappd at Home
Incredibly well-balanced. Coconut macaroons & chocolate truffles on the nose; spicier, oakier notes integrate after time. Palate w/ a lot of coconut, contributing both richness & bitterness. Barrel character boost the vanilla & adds great spice & warmth.
