Devil went down to Georgia

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to light brown in the glass, displaying the influence of extended bourbon barrel aging. The beer holds a modest tan head with fine Schaumkleiden that gradually recedes. Clarity is good, with only faint suspended matter catching the light.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent stone fruit notes, particularly ripe peach and dried apricot, layered beneath vanilla and caramel sweetness from the oak and bourbon contact. Black tea adds subtle earthiness and tannin structure, while deeper notes of dark fruit and molasses emerge on the second nosing.

◐ Taste

The palate enters smooth and sweet, with peach character immediately apparent alongside rich caramel and toasted oak. Mid-palate reveals the full-bodied malt foundation and the warming presence of 12.5% ABV, balanced by restrained bitterness (35 IBU) and subtle astringency from the black tea. The beer finishes dry with lingering bourbon warmth and stone fruit memory.

◑ Finish

The finish is extended and sophisticated, with the bourbon oak and peach fading gradually into a dry, slightly tannic aftertaste. The alcohol provides a gentle warming sensation on the throat, leaving a complex cocktail-like impression.
