The Stoic 2015 - ABV 11% - Belgian Styled Quad - Deschutes Brewery Bend Oregon
The stoic malt beverage brewed with pomegranate with 16.5% being aged in oak wine barrels and 16.5% being aged in oak rye whiskey barrels.
Amber red/orange, cloudy, full bodied, little head, caramel, floral, lots of fruit, white grape/wine, oak. I do taste the oak but not so much the whiskey. Being a hardcore Belgian beer drinker I would say it's not bad at all for an American made beer but it does miss smoothness at the finish and balanced finesse. It does pack a punch.
