Draft at the Happy Valley venue. Pours hazy gold with a large white head that laced a bit. Aroma of citrus, some other tropicals and a pine hint. Juicy but not overly sweet. Moderately bitter. Very good flavor.

From tap at Loyal Legion, Portland. Aroma is creamy strawberry with a likeable amount of lavender. Some more fruity notes, then more strawberry. Flavour is medium sour with a little sweetness from the berries. Body is medium. Quite the lovely strawberry cocktail with a tasty sour flavour, slightly dry. So smooth and drinkable!

From tap at Loyal Legion, Portland. Aroma is sweet blueberry and lots of notes of gin with a touch of vanilla, red fruits, berries, with only a hint of wheat malt. Flavour is mild sweet and lightly bitter. Body is medium. Very nice, the gin is strong in this one.

500mL bottle. Pours jet black with small beige head. Aroma has sweet whiskey and bready malts. Flavour has bready malts and whiskey. Nice malt-forward imperial stout, could do with better integration of the whiskey barrels, but still very enjoyable.

Dark brown, with a thin head. This has a lot of sweetness, with a sugary note. There's a fairly strong barrel note here, it's slightly headsy and rough. Relatively thin, and sweetish. It's not bad, but there is a fair bit of room for improvement.

500mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has a nice bourbon barrel character, light-to-medium roast, and plenty of charred oak. Flavour has more sugars than I expected, with charred oak, dubious quality whiskey, and toasted malt. Not the most sophisticated, but the sugars and oakiness work well enough together. Good.

Can. Pours a somewhat clear orange hue with a medium white head. A big sweet nose, sugary oranges. The flavor is similar, rich sweet candied oranges, husky earthy malts, almost sweet like a IIIPA, very pungent.

Draft. Hay rich amber beer with a dark cream head. Grapefruit and light caramel aroma. Grapefruit and light herbal flavor with light caramel. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Grapefruit and light herbal notes linger with light caramel.
