On tap at Twin Sails, pours a deep dark mahogany-tinged brown with a small beige head. Aroma is strongly coconut, with a moderate toasted malt base. Flavour is full of coconut, with a thin toasted malt, leaving gentle sugars and lots of coconut. If you're gonna do a 4.6% coconut stout, this is good, but why would you do it. Fine.

On tap at Twin Sails, pours a hazy full dark ros� colour with a tiny head. Aroma is very acetic, with tons of drinking vinegar, lots of oak, and gentle wine notes. Flavour is way too acetic, with lots of drinking vinegar notes, dry vinous notes, and a touch of oak. Way too acetic, finishing too vinegary and tart. Not very good.

On tap at Twin Sails, pours a cloudy dark amber orange with a tiny white head. Aroma is full of vinegar and tons of acetic. Flavour is very vinegary, with gentle sweetness, a touch of vinous oak, and vinegary notes on the finish. Like drinking vinegar — this is just not good.

On tap at Twin Sails, pours a clear amber with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out piney and resinous hops, bready malt, and toasted caramel. Flavour has a decent resinous hops, some pine, and toasted bready malt. Reasonable hop character and decently balanced. Not bad.

355mL can at Twin Sails, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is loaded with cinnamon and vanilla upfront, with a touch of chili and subtle bourbon presence. Flavour is extremely rich, with lots of dark sugars, cinnamon, vanilla, and cocoa. The bourbon is quite subtle, mostly just slightly accentuating the adjuncts. Very nice but I prefer BA Str8 Flexin.

On tap at Twin Sails, pours a red-tinged dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out some tangy briny notes and toasted malt. Flavour is quite dry, with toasted malt, a hint of brine, and bready notes. Pretty light and muted, but that's what I'd expect from a dry stout.

Poured from the tap. Clear-ish gold with small white head. Wheaty watermelon, feint hint of cherry. P49 Seedspitter was better than this.

On tap at Darby's, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out watermelon upfront, on top of a soft pillowy wheat character and a touch of cherry. Flavour is lightly sweet, with a touch of sweet cherry drop, light watermelon, and a soft wheaty base. Totally uninteresting, but drinkable.

12oz @ Alex's. Appearance: dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: intense peppermint, sweet, like a candy. Oh well. Taste: along the same lines. Good body and sweetness level, even some American oak on the background. Overall: I wish it wouldn't be that on the candy side, but in terms of the execution, I believe it is nicely done. It's just not what I would like to drink. P.S. If you drink it with closed nose, then you can find less mint and more American oak 🤣 The only issue - it's hard to swallow 😬🙃
