Mike L. is drinking a Dream Sequence 01 by Almanac at The Sketchy Alley Behind Roberto's

This is flat out superb. Ripe peaches, fresh oak, herbal funk. Absolutely perfect balance. Remember when Almanac was super acidic? This couldn't be farther from that. Top shelf.

The malt character is just phenomenal. When I saw the color, I expected SN Celebration, but it's so much more delicate than that. It's special.
