500ml (thx, Brian C.!) @ Ryan's shared with Farees and Alex. Appearance: very dark copper with a weak beige head. Aroma: sweet, caramel, some oxidization probably. Taste: along the same lines, quite boozy, finished with American oak and bourbon notes. Overall: a bit harsh, but interesting.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Dark brown with minimal beige head. Woody bourbon, mild dark fruit backing, a little harsh booziness, but enjoyable.

500ml (thx, Brian C.!) on Alex's porch. Appearance: dark brown with a weak beige head. Aroma: boozy, bourbon barrel, dark fruits, sweet. Taste: along the same lines, thick, sweet, rich. Overall: very nice and complex. So bad that all the expertise achieved over the years to make beers like this won't find any application anymore 😭

Black colour. Lovely aroma of hazelnuts and vanilla. Full bodied; mildly sweet (more sugar would provide more balance); salty chocolate, a bit of tar, brown sugar, and strong, warm alcohol in the finish. Very good.

Murky blond colour, with creamy head. Dank aroma, with some citrus and some onion. Full bodied, moderately sweet, and creamy; juicy hops, mostly tropical juice, and a bit of starch in the finish.
Very good.

Cloudy pale blond colour, compact head. Strong aroma, this is real dank, onions. Soft mouthfeel, it lacks of carbonation; not much to say about the malt base; the hopping is bold, dank, onions, sulfur, and low bitterness.
It's rather unbalanced.

Tasting at Ryan's, bottle
Black colour, no head. Strong aroma of chocolate and vanilla, marshmellow, and alcohol. Full bodied; great chocolate and cacao flavour, burnt sugar, loads of vanilla, winter spice.
It's excellent, but the alcohol is too much, too evident.
