fluffy, well laced white head on a rich amber body. Nose has some rye spice pop, citrus hops and caramel malt. A right-on blend of rye ipa elements. Lots of fresh kick to the rye spice element, citrus hops, caramel malt and a touch of pepper. Superior.

Big light tan head over a near black body. A subtle nose features a touch of rye, and citrus hops. An older can, but has less bite than its ancestor the Wookey Jack . Nice blend of roasted malt, citrus hops, rye spiciness and touches of chocolate and cream.

On tap at the ChurchKey. A rich mahogany body with a fluffy white head. Nice nose with dark fruit, malt, caramel, oak and a touch of citrus. A challenging BW considering it is the English variety. Taste profile includes caramel malt, citrus fruit and a touch of fruit rind and a touch of booze. Vanilla, oak , honey, berries and bourbon blend in nicely. Smooth mouth feel, medium body with medium carbonation. A slightly dry finish.

A clear straw body with a well laced white head. The aroma is a killer- popping fresh grapefruit and tropical fruit. The taste profile is quite understated after than aroma. smooth fresh citrus, grapefruit and orange citrus hops over tasty sweet bready malt. A very dry clean finish but unfortunately peeters out pretty quickly

A balanced malt, hop and spice nose. Taste features roasted malt, some mildly fruity hops, deep rye spiciness and some grassiness. Dark berries and booze heat are nice undertastes. Complex, refreshing but rich at the same time. A classic.

Bottle at home. Opaque black color, small beige to lightly brown colored lacing. Aroma and flavor are malts, bourbon / whiskey, somewhat bitter, dark malts. What really stands out to me is the balance between the flavors. Really nice. Very very balanced. Lovely beer.
