Canned 3/11/26, drunk 5/20/26.
Huge vanilla notes wafting up as soon as I pour it, coming at me from a good distance. Chocolate and mild roast integrated with it and arriving on the finish, giving it a stronger feel. No alcohol or excessive sweetness, and for a non-BA stout, it seems quite balanced from the nose. The coffee, unsurprisingly given it's Sump, is soft, fruity, gently roasty and earthy. No overroasting here.
Oh yeah, that's nice. Soft, rich, creamy, succulent, deep and malty yet far from too sweet. I think it's just sweet enough actually. Coffee is sublime; low roast, no char, no acrid dark character. Just fruitiness, earth and chocolate. Vanilla coming through prominently yet still allowing the rest of the beer to shine. Surprisingly well-integrated, behaved and incredibly easy drinking given it's extreme youth. The vanilla probably doing a lot to soften and round the corners here.

750ml (thx, Brent L.!) @ Ryan's shared with Josh, Farees, and Phill.
Aroma: sophisticated American oak, some sweetness and chcocolate.
Taste: along the same lines, noticeably boozy, light char from bourbon barrel.
Overall: nice one.

Dark brown. Sort of a dark chocolate, with a bit of fruit. A decent amount of bourbon on this as well. On the palate, nice umami, roast, meaty character. Soft. Some alcohol and the bourbon is restrained.

Poured from 750mL bottle (blend 1; 15% ABV). Near black with minimal beige head. Mild old woody barrel, with slightly soured roast malt, medium body, not worth the price.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Lightly hazed yellow gold with small white head. Nice saison yeast, light tartness, balanced sweetness. Decent.

750ml (thx, Brent L.!) @ Ryan's.
Aroma: typical Missouri farmhouse yeasts, some oak complexity and fruitiness.
Taste: along the same lines, quite aggressive (as usual), moderately acidic.
Overall: enjoyable, but it's the cost/benefit value is very poor for sure, unfortunately.

Hazy, thin head. Some haze. The aroma is floral, a bit hoppy, and a bit honeyish. The palate has a moderate acidity, again the honeyish, floral notes, decent bitterness. Well-balanced. Quite good.

375 ml bottle from Tavour. Slightly hazed honey gold color. Frothy white head settles to a small cap. Tart, Bretty aroma hints at sour citrus and mango. Flavor is big farmhouse funk. Notes of tangerine, mango, Brett and unripe peach. Interesting.

Bright and astringently sour. The lavender and lemon tone are nice. Kind of lacks the subtlety and finesse of most of their stuff. Just oversoured. OK.

16oz can. If this is the delicate Saison I'm guessing the sure one is going to be quite biting. Quite funky and sour. The vanillla and orange show up big in the aroma. Quite intense to sip at, not very sessionable. Cool flavors, but perhaps a little too sour at times for me. Slow sipper.
