Isn’t the color incredible
I never turn down the opportunity to try something incredibly unique. A good friend got me this Great Divide barrel aged Old Fashioned inspired Belgian styled ale and I couldn’t wait to try it!
Immediately the aroma grabs you with fruit and floral scents. This beer is complex in trying to break down all of the flavors. I do get some of the cherry, but it is not overpowering. It seems to come out more in the finish for me. There is light fruit flavor throughout and you really get a nice maltiness in this beer. I am not a brandy drinker so I can’t exactly explain the details on what it provides other than some additional fruit tones and the light booziness of a barrel aged beer. Great Divide did a great job of not going to crazy on the alcohol as this beer comes in at 8.8% ABV.
I think this beer will attract a large audience of people. Those who enjoy craft beer, wine, and spirits. The uniqueness of the experience of having this beer is one you will be talking to friends about for weeks to come!
Cheers!
