4 ounce at the Overland location - nearly black pour - heavy on the fudge and moderate on roasty malt character - blueberry is far in the back - body is moderate for the strength and alcohol is masked enough - would like more heft and complexity here, and it is mostly chocolate and mild blueberry with a fairly bland finish - haven't had any iteration of this beer in a couple years, so I am assuming the base is the new batch - if so, not impressed and this beer has fallen off in quality, as previous iterations have actually been pretty great.

8 ounce at the Overland location - clear dark amber - nose is straightforward traditional british - treacle, plum, earthy malt, light barrel presence, light oxidation - on the flat side in the mouth, but that is not out of spec for the style - again, pretty textbook british, where earthy malt is the showcase, with some dark fruit and sherry/oxidation - not terribly complex, but is done well - the barrel treatment is subdued and the alcohol, while warming, is fairly well-hidden - it's good.

12 oz. can. Pours a clear, straw color, with a big, foamy, white head. The nose is straw, coriander, light banana esters, light grass clippings, and rose. Sweet and sugary, with a light, floral bitterness. Light, zesty, and a bit sharp. Easy and quality.

12 oz. can. Bright, opaque, orange color, wiht a fair, white head. The nose is lavender, celery, quinine, and chalk. Sweet and sugary, with a light, nutty bitterness. Light, effervescent, and a bit acidic. Easy and unique.

12 oz. can. Pours a clear, straw color, with a big, foamy, white head. The aroma is lavender, grass clippings, straw, and light grapefruit zest. Sweet and malty, with a mellow, grassy bitterness. Light, crisp, and lively. Clean, quality, and refreshing.

Dimpled mug at the Overland location - clear medium gold - while clean, there is not a lot going on here - malt profile is weak and overall everything is kind of thin - tiny bit of bread and light hop bitterness - inoffensive, but also not entirely enjoyable.

Draft at the Overland location - hazy straw color - head dissipates rapidly - medium-dry, with notes of white pepper, lots of clove, light banana - peppery finish, but is also pretty watery on the back end - it’s okay.
