Eddie N. is drinking a Controlled Variable 001: Blackberry by Brewlihan
Awesome gin barrel presence. Dry but has tons of juicy blackberry. I love gin barrel so this is up my alley.

Eddie N. is drinking a Jasper with Peach by Fidens Brewing Co
The peach might be a bit of a cheat code, but it's dang tasty regardless. A surprising amount of peach. I do think the peach might've overshadowed the hops a little.

Eddie N. is drinking a Quadruple Eugene’s Axe by Fidens Brewing Co
Dayum. Fidens continues to impress. So fresh and juicy tasting. Really reminds me of when I used to love NEIPAs. No hop or alcohol burn whatsoever.

Eddie N. is drinking a Small Business Barrel (2022) by American Solera at Untappd at Home
I'm amazed how much vanilla is coming through given that the only source is supposed to be the vanilla barrel. The vanilla is a bit fruity tasting. I was hoping this would taste more like a plain BA stout with a vanilla accent from the barrel.

Unfortunately, this was pretty mediocre for the series. Surprisingly just not sweet enough in general. Needs more brown sugar, toffee, dark fruit or whatever to balance out the barrel and dryness.
