Double Barrel Huna is a step behind Lairds Apple Brandy but still very exceptional. The pinnacle of this adjunct stout realm.

That grand cru low carb meets an endlessly complex nose of chili, oak, sweet brandy, cinnamon, and caramel. The taste drops wave after wave of heavy handed albeit delicious adjuncts that dovetail from spicy to earthy to sweet cognac and a huge chocolate finish not unlike Mexican hot cocoa.

Despite all my chicanery, this is an exceptional stout well deserving of the attention it currently receives.

Cali Brandy Huna, forever the weakest Huna. Lowest barrel presence, light sweetness and barely a rung above the base beer itself. Admittedly still pretty legit though.

Very difficult to justify the cost of entry when the base beer is already exceptional and this doesn’t come within a country mile of the other treatments. Stop skimping and get a double barrel you poor fuck.

Cigar City cherry creek, not a kriek, a massive malty sweet wheatwine….with cherries.

“Should we put this massive wheatwine in cans so people can enjoy them on their Eliminator boats?” “Excellent idea, now add cherries”

This was mediocre and the cherries served to underscore an already saccharine malty base but, things could have gone a lot worse .

Can’t wait to pop a sixer of these while bass fishing and then get lost and throw up in the lake.
