500ml (thx, Brian C.!) @ Ryan's shared with Farees. Appearance: hazy copper with no head. Aroma: pretty much the same as the original - wheat, sweet, barrel. Still no maple (thx, God), but there is no vanilla either. Taste: same as boozy as the original, but it has quite a lot of vanilla in addition to the creamy notes coming from the oak. Overall: quite enjoyable, despite it being quite boozy. I liked the creamy and vanilla long aftertaste in this one.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Clear-ish amber with minimal white head. Oak, mild vanilla, barrel, touch of dark dried fruits. On par with original Sixth, but slightly less boozy so gave it an extra 0.1 rating.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Clear-ish light amber with minimal white head. Aroma has lots of oak, some dried dark fruits. Taste is woody vanilla, dark dried fruits, booze, body is slightly on the lighter side, but decent.

500ml (thx, Brian C.!) @ Ryan's shared with Farees. Appearance: a bit hazy copper with a bubbly tan head. Aroma: heavy wheat notes, sweet, barrel. Taste: along the same line, smooth, a bit boozy, lots of creamy notes from the oak. Overall: pretty good for what it is, I do prefer barleywines over the wheatwines, though.

750ml (thx, Brian C.!) @ 🏡 Appearance: a bit hazy golden with a strong white head. Aroma: nice fruity and Brett funk, juicy. Taste: along the same lines, a bit acidic, moderately dry and juicy. Good body. Overall: a pretty good example of the Brett Saison made in North America.

500mL bottle, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of rich brandy, roasted malt and dark sugars. Flavour is wonderfully rich and complex, with tons of brandy barrels, dark sugars and dark fruits. Really intense but tastefully done brandy barrel aging. Lovely.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a medium dark brown foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of vanilla and coconut with some fudge notes and bourbon notes. Taste is a mix of coconut and vanilla, some fudge notes with some bourbon. Body is full with good carbonation with some light warming alcohol notes. Solid imperial stout with some pastry notes but well balanced overall.

Poured from 473mL can (canned 12 Oct 2022; abv listed at 7%). Dark brown with small beige head. Caramel and rye malt, very feint toffee character, good balance. Prefer the bourbon barrel version, but this is solid.

Murky blond colour. Fruity and dank aroma, hints of tropical fruits. Sweet, full bodied, very juicy, with mild tropical fruit character and some dankness; lower side of bitterness. Very good.
