On tap at the taproom. Pours very dark brown with a beige head. Dry roasted malts on the nose. Flavour has a dry roasted malt profile, some woody dryness. Not getting any bourbon and there's almost a very dry finish? It's okay, but very dry without the malt depth to support it.

2019 edition on tap at the tasting room. Very black body and minimal medium beige body. The aroma is very soft and very faint barley. Flavour is chewy sweet barley with black coffee hints. Not boozy at all, alcohol well hidden, though surprisingly simple. Very drinkable.

Aroma has cellar tones, some cocoa and alcohol. Flavour has alcohol, strong cocoa tones, cellar and some coffee tones. Too boozy and also feels a bit old & thin.

650ml bottle from Pacific Liquor store in PoCo. Commander Reserve 2013, bottle #553 of 600. Pours an almost black with a brown head. Aroma is dark fruits, roasted malt, some vanilla, leather, roasted seeds and chocolate notes. Taste is pretty the same with low to moderate sweetness and low bitterness. Slightly dry, dark roasted malt, some chocolate notes aftertaste. Very good!

Draft - Dark roast and molasses. Deep brown with a very rich nice brown head. Tons of liquorice, molasses and dark bitter roast. Liquorice notes are very nice and add some great complexity. Quite nice.

Poured from the tap. Black with tan head. Mild roast malt with a bit of chocolate. Licorice and medicinal quality to it that adds sweetness along with a bit if molasses. This quality could put some people off as it’s the dominant flavour, but it’s not overbearing in my opinion. Medium body.

2014 bottle, aged 1 year. Very dark. Deep rich burnt chocolate, deep fruits, alcohol. Sweet and molasses, chewy rich malts, good balanced impy. 4 8 7 4 16 = 3.9. I was told I’d like it better after a year, and I did.
Fresh, 2014 bottle: Inky black with a medium brown head. Really fruity aroma, with lots if boozy bourbon character, and a lot of raw wood. The palate is all molasses, such a disconnect from the aroma. That molasses is just dominant. I don’t think it’s a great beer, but I like molasses so I like the beer.
