Oliphant Brewing’s Museum of Weird Stuff Amerston Spiral Bug Egg Mask Bourbon Barreleetd-aged Baltic Porter.
9% ABV, Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, WI.
Before this beer was released, Josh explained the meaning of the name to me. It made no sense then,so of course I forgot it. All you need to know is: nonsense. (And it had nothing to do with the nonsense on the label.)
Impenetrable darkness, utterly opaque, slim, cocoa-tinged head.
In the nose: deep, sweet, rich, caramel and cocoa meets oak and ash. Big bourbon.
In the mouth: rich, massively malty, some vanilla and cherry. Big and boozy. Smooth and stuffed with deliciousness. Well balanced for such a big boned brawler.
I love a barrel aged beer and a Baltic Porter, and I love Oliphant. Here they are, together at last. I’m digging it, for real.
Stored away in 45th Parallel Bourbon barrels 'til peak flavor achievement, this aged lager has tall tales of taste to tell. Wait your turn in line to don the egg mask, then funky chicky peck the night away!
This is not the nonsense from the label, I just tore it off of Untappd.
