12 oz. bottle, pours a dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma has toasted malt, gentle oak barrels, and some earthiness. Flavour is pretty flimsy, with a thin toasted malt character, some wood, some earthiness, and a touch of vanilla. Thin, flimsy, lacking complexity. Inoffensive but lacking anything pleasant.

Amber-brown. This has a decent slightly toffeeish, caramelly malt character. Light body for its style, but it's got a touch of wood. Just feels light, and lacking in complexity.

Poured from (probably 355mL, not labelled) bottle (bb 16 April 2028). Medium dark chestnut brown with small light beige head. Lightly woody, malty, feint vanilla, gives some scotch ale vibes. Don't get bourbon notes, quite average.

355mL bottle. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Light brown sugars, some dark malts, and boozy sugars on the nose. Flavour has tons of boozy sugars, very rough, splintered wood. This is just rough and uncoordinated. Not good.

Bought locally, bottled January 14th 2026.
It pours very dark brown with hues of red an inch of tan foam, very good retention and lacing.
The smell is sweet malt, wood, hint of chocolate, a bit of leather.
The taste is not as sweet as the smell, woody notes, leather, some vinous notes which I don't care for, and some alcohol.
Mouthfeel starts out but finishes on the thin side.
I have another bottle and that will be the last for me of this brew.

Black with a medium sized fluffy tan head that faded quickly. Strong wood and red wine followed by perfume, cedar and floral hops. Long finish. Moderately full bodied.

Aromas are more like a stout with black patent, roast, dark malt, licorice, molasses. Flavors are similar to nose and lean sweet with dark ripe fruit, brown sugar and coffee. Kind of thin body. This is what happens when big corporations take over.
