The brewers started with a deceptively smooth base featuring notes of toffee and caramel before aging it in whiskey barrels to add nuances of oak and a subtle whisper of top shelf spirits.

The beer name is an AC/DC song reference. "She's Got the Jack". The blurb on the can suggests it's about a poker game. It is... not. lol. "The jack" is gonorrhea. The frog's got gonorrhea. An STD is not an association I'd want people to make when they see my product, so that's an interesting choice there, Hoppin' Frog.
Anyway, it pours lightly hazy orange with a small head. The aroma is of oak, caramel, and booze. It has a malty flavor with oak, whiskey, and caramel. This is very good.

This beer pours a dark chestnut color with a medium foamy off-white head that diminishes steadily to a film. Small patches of lace. Aroma of malt, fruit and whiskey. Full-bodied with flavors of oaky whiskey, ripe fruit, roast malt and butterscotch. The finish is oaky with a whiskey and malt aftertaste. Good beer overall.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear amber/copper with a slight beige head that did persist. Aroma of roasty malt, citrus?, and whiskey. Med body. Flavor is nice roasty malt/toffee, whiskey, some citrus. There's a sweet mellowness. Not too sweet tho. Not really very bitter. A little wood. Hard to describe, but incredibly delicious to drink. Heat is barely discernable.

Orange with a large white head that faded quickly. Boozy and rough with grapefruit and perfume. Long finish. Moderately full bodied.

16oz can from Tavour. Foggy, dark golden pour, head fades to patches of fine bubbles. Sweet malty aroma with a boozy backend. Taste is malty, caramel, sweet, smooth, brown sugar. A little latent warmth with a mildly sticky finish. Creamy.
