Can shared by ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Hazy yellow, no lacing. Aroma is strong citrus over musty grape. Taste is strong white grape over citrus. Smooth, a bit thin.

Undated can drunk 1/12/25.
Moderately-to-heavily hazy, bronze-maize-golden. Small-to-medium-sized, white head.
Reserved nose with light spice, light mango, moderate pineapple and biscuity malts. No sugar. Clean yeast, though still very fruity. Clean, not punchy. Some star fruit and maybe light gummy fruit brightens things.
Spicy up front but turning to pineapple and orange/lemon. Not very Nelsony, though it's got some deep, dank notes. Bit of herbal spice with a soft, biscuity, gently malty texture and good attenuation. Very mellow, very competent, if a little subdued.

Brewery draught, 12/19/24. Clear, dark, small, tan head. Nose is chocolate and delightful vanilla bean. Earthy, floral, nutty, with a bit less emphasis on the lager but still clean and well attenuated. Chewy choco-vanilla. Light roast and moderate hop with clean yeast and light mineral.

Brewery draught, 12/19/24. Not sure if it's clear. Dark. Purple tints. Little head. Phenomenal bourbon nose, my God. Lead, spice, barrel, vanilla, more lead. Chewy chocolate, no booze. Hot damn... Chocolatey, syrupy, malty, rich, double mashed for sure. Honestly, not sure I love the double mashing. Was kind of ready for the bourbon character from the nose to just unleash itself on my palate but it's somewhat held in check by the thick, syrupy, hugely malty body. That said, this is still really well done.

Brewery draught, 12/19/24. Clear, dark. Tan head to ring quickly. Rich charred-fudge with big barrel presence. Almost bourbony. This is the least grapey port treatment I've smelled. Chocolate and such with raisin and light plum. No alcohol. Light oxidation and chewy grape. Chocolate, vanilla, more oxidized caramel and soft, chewy vanilla. Very nice! Not just another cookie cutter BA stout (technically a lager here).

Brewery draught, 12/19/24. Mostly clear, muted brass. Fluffy, white head. Big juicy Brett in the nose with pineapple and light vanilla. Hints of earth. Very funky, enveloping and well-expressed. Seems like a solid biscuity/wheaty grain character behind it. Spritzy, juicy, no twang or near-butyric character. Not over-developed. Very carbonated but nicely attenuated with juicy tropical fruits and no oak tannin. Juicy, fruity, high mineral hops.

Brewery draught, 12/19/24. Minimally hazy, deep bronze. Small, white head. Pineapple, mango, papaya, big juice and rich white bread-like malt. Clean, no resin, booze. Soft, juicy, good mix of bitter piney and light pineapple. Tropical fruit, lingering bread and bitterness. Mineral, earth, hop funk, juice and lots more complexity lingering.
