Mad Fox Brewing Company Reviews

radagast83	4 Mad Fox Batch 900 (A. Smith Bowman Bourbon) Held in growler for 4.5 years, purchased just prior to closing. Poured a clear copper color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was caramel, some aged malt, a touch booze, tobacco leaf. Alcohol really helped hold this one up. Tuesday, February 6, 2024
nimbleprop	3.5 Mad Fox Batch 900 (A. Smith Bowman Bourbon) Thanks to Radagast for caring for this growler for many years. Not much Mad Fox still kicking around. 2l swing top growler has carb. Wow. Clear garnet amber with some sudsy white head. Nose has what you'd think. Malt and caramel and oak. Chewy toast. Well made. Flavor some heat, the malty stuff and then plenty of oak and some witchhazel. Full bodied. Shows some oxidation but not as much as you'd think. 7 4 7 4 13 Sunday, February 4, 2024
