568mL can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has bright piney and grassy hops, with light biscuity malt. Flavour has a nice resinous hop oiliness, light pine, and just enough sweet biscuity to back. Oily, resinous finish. Good balance and construction. Very good.

250 ml can. pours a dark brown with no head. Aromas of vanilla, creamy sweet chocolate icing, and slick roasted malts. There are some initial vegetal flavours but after that there is sweet chocolate icing, cinnamon pastry, and biscuity malts. Seems a little light overall. A bigger maltier base would help I think.

8oz @ Ryan's shared with Alecx (thx for the beer!)
Artificial, some chocolate and grassy notes. Taste is along the same lines, moderately sweet, some roasted malt bitterness. Meh.

Poured from 250mL can. Very dark brown with minimal off white head. Burnt caramel, fairly thin, lacks complexity, meh.

Hazy pale brown, with a decent head. The aroma is fruity, bringing pear and fig, some slightly toffeeish sugar. Smells like barley wine. The taste is more barley wine but with a keptinis accent, so I'm guessing they took an English barley wine recipe and fermented with Lithuanian yeast. Fairly sticky, low apparent bitterness. Good malt character, rich and sticky. I hope they put this into a few barrels because there's quite a few that would work here.

Little wee mini can. Dark brown. Medium head. The aroma is not promising...comes across like this will be a thin. That's the case - the base stout lacks richness or refinement. There's some of the vanilla and cinnamon, and those elements are good. But it needs a richer base to give it the right dessert structure.

On tap at Main Street, pours a lightly hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out somewhat floral, somewhat citrusy hops, with a crisp biscuity malt base. Flavour is lightly fruity, with gentle stone fruits. Citrusy, dry finish. Clean and drinkable. Decent.

On cask at Main Street, pours a cloudy dark amber orange with a small off-white head. Aroma has dark dried fruit, gentle resinous hops, and a bit of bready toffee. Flavour is malty and moderately sweet, with tons of dark dried fruits (figs, dates), brown sugar, and caramel. Nice malty base, with a surprising complexity. Strange choice to cask a barley wine but I’m happy with the result.

On tap at the brewery. Pours dark brown with large foamy beige head. Brown sugar, caramel, and a touch of chocolate on the nose. Flavour has corn syrup, cinnamon, strained malts floating around in the background. A very disappointing imperial stout.

On tap at Main Street, pours black with a tiny beige head. Aroma is like a liquid stroopwaffel, with sweet, maple syrup-covered waffles, but without any malt backbone. Flavour is all flavouring and little malt backbone, with a syrupy sweet finish that has little complexity. This doesn�t work at all. Pastry without the stout.
