Clown Shoes Apple Baron. Wee Heavy Aged In Apple Brandy Barrels.
11 % ABV. Clown Shoes Brewing, Boston, MA.
Hazed up, moderate opacity, cast in an amber-ish hue, with minimal head.
In the nose: Ooo! Apple-y! And Brandy-y, too. No Wee Heavy-y showing up yet. Terrically sweet, so far. High-flung fruity.
In the mouth: Whoa! Where to begin? It's a big mess of apples and booze, setting fire to the palate. Whatever was in here before it met the barrels is thoroughly consumed by this hot mess. But, I don't mind, I'm liking the flavors and loving the overbearing bigness of it all. Sweet, but not overly so, and the booze comes on strong. This leans very close to a barley-wine, and that I can dig.
