Style: IPA

Container: 22oz Bomber

Glassware: Firestone Walker Tulip and Tulip

Overall Nerdsense Rating: 3.75/5

Notes: Light and crisp. Awesome citrus malt balance. Super smooth. Floral and grapefruit on the nose

Sierra Nevada Barrel Aged Narwall

Style: Barrel Aged Imperial Stout

Container: 22oz Bomber

Glassware: Firestone Walker Tulip and Tulip

Overall Nerdsense Rating: 5/5

Notes: Nose – Bourbon (Duh!) Vanilla, sweeter aroma, caramel and chocolate makes the sweetness. Flavor – Chocolaty and much sweeter with less coffee than the regular Narwall. Lots and lots of bourbon

Sierra Nevada Narwall

Style: Imperial Stout

Container: 12oz Bottle

Glassware: Firestone Walker Tulip and Tulip

Overall Nerdsense Rating: 4.5/5

Notes: Smells mellow coffee, very boozy on the nose, cocoa. Taste is dark chocolate, coffee, boozy without a burn in the back

Narwall + Barrel Aged Narwall Blend 

Notes: Milkshake or Sweet Stout. This takes the harshness out and it’s extremely smooth. The smell isn’t much but the flavor is great!
