Chestnut pour with a 2 finger, creamy to soapy caramel tan head that has great retention and leaves nice lacing. Aroma is vanilla forward oak, lots of caramel, roasted nuts, toasty chocolate. Flavor is caramel, green woody notes, vanilla, light chocolate, green hops, vanilla, raw peanuts, and some citrus and prairie floral hops. Medium to heavy body, syrupy to oily entry, light, but sharp carbonaion and some what creamy, chewy finish. Pretty good overall, the green hops and fairly intesnse sweetness, make for an odd combo, but after the first couple sips it doesnt seem so strange.

Bottle @ home via trade with randomgarbage. Thanks pepsied! Pours a clear, deep reddish orange appearance with a light brown head. Huge grainy oaky, vanilla, herbal, toasty caramel malty aroma. Flavor is quite strong with some booze and a ton of vanilla and grainy oak. Theres some notes of light fruit, chocolate, and caramel, but the beer is incredibly, fresh wood forward with a massive amount of vanilla. A bit overly oaky, but I could see some really digging this beer. Kind of surprised to see BroIPA say he didnt get oak. Thats all I got. He likely used a different glass that didnt accent the oak notes, possibly a beer bong?
