Oliphant Little Dipster

Oliphant Little Dipster. Rum barrel-aged Vienna-style lager. 5.5% ABV. Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, WI.

Clear, bronze/amber color, slim white head. Looking nice.

In the nose: My god, what a mix. Bigness, sweetness, mmmmm, nice and malty. Rum barrel effects stand over anything else, and I like it.

In the mouth:  Tasty. Tas-tee. Strong, sweet, smooth, rich and malty. Thin-bodied, but flush with flavor. Yeah, there's a Vienna lager underneath this, but the rum barrel consumes it. And I don't mind. Oh, so, tasty.
