Westbound & Down Opulence

**Aroma:** “Strong apricot nose that’s near perfection, with a touch of pear, apple, and banana. Some tart lemony lactic notes blend nicely with the light malt sweetness.” **Flavor:** “Very juicy, with overpowering fruit flavors—mostly apricot, but with moderate banana and pear. Moderate lemon-rind acidic notes are between lactic and malic and are enough to balance the sweetness. There’s a light touch of wheat and very light noble hops note, with mouth-filling carbonation, and a lingering fruity aftertaste.” **Overall:** “This is a strongly apricot fruit sour with moderate acidity, big body, and a touch of wheat and malt notes. It’s a great sour if you really like apricot and want a slightly tart beer without significant funk.”

“Marshmallow nose with deep vanilla and dark chocolate in the background. On the tongue, a hunk of chocolate flavors followed by sweet, creamy vanilla. Dark chocolate and light earthy tobacco play nicely.”

Pleasant, mellow nose: high roast, dark chocolate, oak, brown sugar, dark stone fruit. Complex flavor: juicy dark fruit, raisin, port, dark cocoa, coffee. Thick mouthfeel, low carbonation. Immense character.
