Eddie D is drinking a BA Dessert Eagle (Chocolate Coconut PB Bar) by Arkane Aleworks at Aurora Apartments (Aurora)
Nice balance of Buffalo Trace barrel, cacao, and peanut butter. Although strong on the nose, coconut is subdued but adds some sweetness on the finish. Tasty. Arkane’s TBBW set was really good this year!

Eddie D is drinking a Medellin Menagerie Fruited by RaR Brewing at Aurora Apartments (Aurora)
It’s old but needed some fridge space. Hops have faded and mango has totally taken over. Drinks more like a fruited “sour” at this point.

Eddie D is drinking an Empathy V.1 (Red) by Anchorage Brewing Company at Aurora Apartments (Aurora)
Pretty nice barrel character but when the honey first hits I do not love the pairing. That said, there is a mildly sweet vanilla and oak character that lingers on the palate which I enjoy. It’s solid but underwhelming.

Been a hot minute since I had OG AASB. Still the best version IMO as the roast is just so good.
