Odd Side Ales Rye Hipster Brunch Stout

Cherry and bourbon nose with a backing of roasted barley. One of the more unique flavor profiles in this style. Bright and assertive balance of sweetness and roast with complex flavors of cherry, dark fruits, choco-late, bitter coffee, light bourbon, and anise.

“Blueberry Danish, cocoa nibs, coconut, caramel on the nose. Syrupy flavor profile of dark chocolate, vanilla cones, bourbon, poppyseed muffins. Alcohol and cinnamon spice provide balancing heat. Toffee, dark fruit move between the foreground and background. The alcohol is omnipresent.”

**Aroma:** “Strong chocolate, light cherry, touch of plum, moderate candi syrup, moderate date, raisins, figs, port. Rich sweetness with a moderate Belgium fruitiness. Reminds me of a barleywine with a touch too much chocolate. Moderate alcohol note Bourbon sweetness, more corn than vanilla.” **Flavor:** “High fruitiness up front with a high cherry note. Strong acidity, moderate chocolate, fig, and vanilla, big sweetness, port notes. A bit of coffee and chocolate at the end of the sip. A well-attenuated and huge beer. Strong bourbon character with some coffee-like notes. Spicy.” **Overall:** “Fun chocolate- and dark fruit–dominated beer. Even with the sweetness, the body is light and bright with the nice acidity and strong fruit notes. So many big pieces come together to make this beer. The bourbon character is very strong throughout. This is one of the more interesting beers we’ve had.”
