Max Nuernberg is drinking a Double Barrel Reverberant (2024) by Side Project Brewing
Caramelly, toffee-ish aroma. Heavily malty barleywine. Oak barrel, sweetness, and plenty of bourbon & rye. Warm, thick mouthfeel. Spicy rye, dry oak barrel, and bourbon honey w/ the Meadowfoam. Rich and thick, sweetness compliments the barrel age.

Max Nuernberg is drinking a Sang Bleu (2024) by Brasserie Cantillon at Side Project Cellar
Super wild yeast aroma. Funky, tart, and wild smell. Lots of blueberry-adjacent aromas, I assume due to haskap. Lightly carbonated; floral and sweet immediately, followed by a slightly bitter, funky tartness. Similar to less sour, wild blueberry lambics.

Max Nuernberg is drinking a Wilhelm by Side Project Brewing at Side Project Cellar
Wheaty, yeasty funk & lots of esters/phenols. Banana and clove aplenty; standard Bavarian Hefe. Bready w/ pale malt as the backbone. Yeast really shines on the tongue; funky and wheaty, and effervescent for how smooth/creamy it is. Bready, pale malts.

Max Nuernberg is drinking a Provence : Hibiscus by Side Project Brewing at Side Project Cellar
Funky, tart saison and herbal, floral hibiscus. Lots of fruity notes, delicate in the aroma. Tea is the main focus here for sure w/ an underpinning of acidity. Fruity and floral, with a dry, tart finish on accord of the hibiscus. Missouri oak signature.

Tons of bourbon/rye barrel & heat that mellows w/ time, opening up to brown sugar, molasses, raisins/dates, and tobacco. This BW serves as a heavy-bodied vessel for the barrels it's aged in; really hot, but it works with the dark, chocolatey malt.
