High alcohol. Barreled in whiskeye cask. No hops. Caramel, vanilla, some coffee. I only had 2 sips but thats what I gathered from the sample.

Rating: 95
Aged in oak barrel bourbon/whiskey. Plum/raisen smell - not so much in the taste. Malty and bready taste mixed in with the oaky bourbon taste. This beer is crazy. Unique in flavor and smell. 11% and smooth.

#56 Hercules Double IPA

Hercules Double IPA
Rating: 95


This 10% IPA bursts with piney/floral hops. It has a sweet sugary kick. Really good, but as with all high alcohol beers they sneak up on you.

Rating: 90
Nice semi-sweet ale with a hint of pecan but mostly roasted malts. Won't be rushing back to try this beer but it's unique enough to try

SUPER carbonated out of the can. Sweet light malts with biscuit taste. Not my favorite but grew on me throughout.
