Radu Luchian is drinking a Hallowed Be Thy Name by Hopsylvania
Needs a bit more time to carbonate, but otherwise excellent. Plenty of cloves coming through, as well as some vanilla and cinnamon. Has a very smooth mouthfeel courtesy of the butternut squash.

This aged excellently. Three year old bottle pours thick and syrupy, with plenty of dried plums and raisin aromas mixed with bourbon and vanilla. Love it!

Unfortunately the bottle was way too oxidized and would much rather have had this from tap, but it is what it is.

Radu Luchian is drinking a Woodland Wonders (Prototype) by Hopsylvania at Seehausen a. Staffelsee
Maybe it's just me but the lingering bitterness in the aftertaste has really mellowed out. Either way, tastes good!
Draft
Almost half a year later and that wild character is even more dominant, and this wasn't even the Extra Wild version. Really crisp and refreshing, with elderflower still quite potent throughout!
