16 oz can poured, picked up at Town & Country, Mill Creek. Mild gaze, cloudy golden pour, patchy head. Really grassy and earthy nose, drenched grains and piney hops. Creamier body, with melon and pine. Slick taste, mild bitterness, cool and easy finish for an IPA with sneaky strength. Late melon rind. Definite fresh hop feel here. Dank and flavorful. Fun collab.

500mL bottle, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma has plenty of earthy rye whiskey barrels, a hint of vanilla, and bitter cocoa. Flavour is extremely rich, with huge whiskey barrels (somewhat smoky), plenty of earthy spicy rye barrels, gentle vanilla, and a hint of cocoa. There's some dark sugars in there on the finish that coincide nicely with the whiskey and rye. Very thick palate, with a lingering richness. Not elegant, but it's a complex, big burly BA stout. Excellent.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Near black with minimal tan head. Woody chocolate, whiskey, mild vanilla backing. Don't pick up much of the rye and no maple character. Enjoyable.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Tapped, Mill Creek. Mildly cloudy and bright golden orange pour. Big bold and bitter hop profile. Dank and aggressive. A bit of a dense body to this, but overall this doesn't drink like a typical hazy in any way. Biting, bitter grassy hops last forever on the palate. Lots of pine on the nose. Solid beer overall, and quite a bit away from that I was expecting from UF here.

5oz pour at brewery. Pours opaque purplish red with white head. Aroma has jammy raspberry and blackberry. Flavour is also very jammy. Fairly high carbonation, which does offset the thick jammy quality of the beer. Overall not particularly good.

5oz pour at brewery. Pours clear brown with off-white head. Aroma has a lovely candied brown sugar, caramel, graham crackers, smoky whiskey.
