473mL can, pours black with a medium brown head. Aroma has medium roasted malt, woody oak, and a touch of vanillin. Flavour is woody, with lots of medium roasted malt, gentle oak, and light vanilla. Dry, oaky, and roasty finish. Not the most comple BA impie, but I like the dryness and drinkability of it. Good stuff.

473mL can. Pours black with a beige head. Roasted malt, bourbon, and a touch of hazelnut on the nose. Flavour has a solid roasted malt base with dry bourbon barrels and maybe some cloves. Very nice.

Can from Fenway beer shop, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. A hazy golden/orange coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Sweet, hoppy, malty, caramel, tropical fruit taste/aroma. Really tasty DIPA but certainly on the sweet side.

16oz can pours a clear, dark gold with a ring of head that faded fast. Flavor is malty, honey, some bread dough, a bit flabby. Flavor is the same. Really needs a little hop kick or to be dried out. Maybe both. Medium bodied, sweet finish.

16 oz. can from Bier Cellar, Portland, Maine. Pours a mostly clear pale yellow-gold color with a white head and good retention. Decent lacing. Standard pale malt beer aroma. Basic pale malt flavor to match the nose. Very maro lager-like, with a softer mouthfeel. Not grainy. A straightforward every day lager. Medium-light body. Not bitter. Fine carbonation.
