On Tap at Belmont Brew House. Clear medium deep golden pour coarse bright white head. Classic WC hoppy aroma, flavors though were subtle and light. Clean and fresh but light weight and a little soapy piney sting at the very end

Bottle from Beer Merchants. It pours clear very deep brown with a bubbly white head. The aroma is huge bourbon character, bourbon soaked oak, toffee, peanut brittle, vanilla, toasted coconut, rich and meaty, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, toasted fruit cake, molasses and whiskey fudge. The taste is smooth, slick, bitter - sweet, vanilla fudge, toffee, toasted coconut, so much bourbon it, rich and warming, plenty of dried fruits, raisin, sultana, dried fig, toasted fruit cake, Scottish black bun, pleasing booze, malt loaf and some nuttiness with a slick and warming finale. Fulsome body and fine carbonation and slick mouth feel. Lovely depth of flavour and balance. Moreish.

Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Clear golden, mid sized head. Artificial aroma of peach and pomegranate. Disturbingly sweet with medium body and clean, hard mouthfeel. Peaches in syrup and pomegranare extract. Nothing else. Cloying and sharp.

24 oz can from the brewery. Aroma is tomato, pepper, lime. Pours hazy pinkish red with an immediately collapsing head. Taste is lightly tart, fairly sweet, and moderately spicy with flavors of tomato, pepper, lime, jalapeno, and grain from the base beer. Pretty underwhelming for Firestone Walker. I love micheladas, and I’ve had much better (premixed and canned) ones from Modelo and Sol, which is surprising given that the base beer here is a lot better than those Mexican beers.

12 oz boxed bottle. Aroma has notes of booze, wood, chocolate, sherry, cinnamon, licorice, cola. Pours opaque dark brown to black with a one finger beige head with decent retention. Taste is lightly to moderately sweet, a little savory and moderately bitter with flavors like the aroma with an emphasis on notes of tequila, sherry and licorice.

Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Hazy golden, mid sized head. Aroma of orange squash. Sweet with lihght body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Orange squash with a dash of custard. Sigh.

Boxed 12 oz bottle. Pours black with a one finger tan head that settles into a ring after a minute. Aroma has notes of coconut, wood, chocolate, nuts, sweet sweet malt, licorice, cinnamon. Taste is moderately to highly sweet backed by some firm bitterness.
