Backlog from December 25th Whiskey and blueberries in the aroma. Taste has whiskey and blueberries right up front. Vanilla follows. The whiskey is a bit bitter, which balances the sweetness, but I wish it was slightly less bitter in the finish. Still really good. Solid 4/5

Christmas in July Day 15 This one is very reminiscent of a blonde ale. Light flavor, clean, crisp and refreshing. A nice lower abv beer for the hot days. 3.5/5

Bourbon hits first in the aroma, followed by oak and vanilla. Maybe some chocolate as well. Taste has bourbon and oak right up front. This beer definitely picked up a lot of the barrel. Vanilla follows that, with a bit of chocolate in the mid-palate and back end. A bit of a rye spiciness as well. The 2014 version was aged in rye bourbon barrels, so maybe this one was too. I'm really enjoying this one. Nice medium+ to medium-full body with a medium-low carbonation. Man, I wish this would show up in my area, cause I'd definitely buy more. One I'll look for yearly. 4.5/5 As this warms up more, some coffee is starting to show up. Still a 4.5/5
