Just played a couple bad games of pool and it’s about time to make things better with a fresh Brandywine arrival… -BF

BF's Brew Review
Rating (out of 5): 4.50
Notes:
Orange rind, chocolate, curaçao.
Comments:
Really fun mug! Fairly sweet, moderate acidity, flavor profile is way off the beaten path. Starts with oranges, but not particularly juicy, more in the direction of orange rind and liquor extraction of orange. As it cools down a bit, starts to become quite a lot more chocolatey. Really clean finish, very little bitterness, slightly toasty, but mostly finishes with more orange. Not quite like anything else I’ve had.

Rating (out of 5): 4.25
Notes:
Smells of incense, sweet perfume, sandalwood. Tastes like it smells: angostura bitters and goji berries.
Comments:
The mandarin orange barreling perhaps adds an orange rind flavor. Truly interesting.
