750ml (thx, Phill!) @ Sales Force. Appearance: hazy copper with a white head. Aroma: caramel, candies, some creamy notes, some toothpaste. Taste: along the same lines, loads of caramel and candies, a bit perfumy, lots of creamy (nice butter) notes. Overall: good one.

750mL bottle. Pours murky gold with no head. Aroma has a lot of orange peel, bourbon, burnt wood, stringent wood. Flavour has orange peel, vanilla, burnt wood, bourbon. Very strong on the bourbon, orange, and wood. Definitely lives up to its promise as an old fashioned-inspired beer. Really well done.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy dull copper orange with a tiny head. Aroma does indeed smell like an old fashioned -- it's dominated by orange zest, a touch of charred oak, light vanilla, and a bit of bourbon further back. Flavour is dominated by intense orange zest, loads of vanilla, and plenty of bourbon -- definitely an old fashioned-style barley wine. Surprisingly impressive -- really intense bourbon and orange zest. Tasty.

Poured from 750mL bottle (pkg 24-03-2021; bottle 336/360 - has a (II) on the label - supposedly extra aged for double the time of regular Lexington). Hazed amber orange with minimal white head. Lots of candied citrus on the nose and a nice underlay, mild toffee malt, touch of bourbon booze, quite nice cocktail inspired beer.

Amber, and hazy, with no head. The aroma has quite a bit of orange zest, with sort of a thick underlying malt. Soft body, lots of malt, big orange. It's relatively sweet, with a fair bit of orange, some alcohol. Pretty good, because even though it's sweet it is not cloying.
