How odd. VERY surprised to see this nonchalantly hanging out at the Duluth Taco Mac early on a Friday afternoon.
Poured into an 11 oz wine glass, the beer sits exactly like the original BHM with a clouded, dubbel like brown color, a small head which ultimately reduces to a white collar and not much life.
To me this doesn’t really differ very much at all from the original. I would say there is a subtle touch of vanilla which smooths the beer out a little, but any adjustments that the oak has made to the original are hardly noticeable to me.
Still, large hops and solid malt backbone, I really feel this could almost be the original – perhaps it is!? Good hoppy burps as usual – tasty but one is sufficient for me.
