Draft - Bourbon boozy, coconut notes and sweet dark malts. Deep brown with a light brown head. Lots of bourbon and dark sweet roasty notes. Big bourbon bomb.

Draft - Tart woody notes. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Sweet, tart buttery notes and a long finish. No sign of cherries at all.

I guess when the name starts with "Hoppy" i expect a hoppy beer- this was not that. Caramel in color, the aroma and flavor is mostly sweeter malts, chocolate, and sweet bread, with little hop presence at all. Smooth body and a sweet, clean finish. This is not a bad beer at all. It’s just completely nondeScript, doesn’t live up to the Hoppy moniker, and easily forgettable. Basically, a well-brewed snoozer.

On tap at WA Winter Beer Festival 2015, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out notes of bourbon notes upfront, with vanilla and cocoa. Flavour is intense, with loads of bourbon and vanilla - not much else. The bourbon dominates but without being too boozy or harsh. Excellent stuff.

On tap at WA Winter Beer Festival 2015, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of lacto and pith - but not getting any cherry. Flavour brings out the cherries more in terms of tartness, with pith and lacto. It's quite thin and ascorbic. Not a very good Berliner Weisse. Meh.

22 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out play dough, chemical cleaner and perfume. Flavour brings out pithy blackberries and playdough - very floral and lavender-y. Not at all a fan of this. Inoffensive but not good.

22 oz. bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of bourbon barrels upfront, with some caramel and dark fruits providing a big body. Flavour matches accordingly, with loads of bourbon upfront, followed by caramel malts and dark fruits. Big body with nothing abrasive about it. Excellent.

22 oz bottle at the tasting. Pours a dark brown with a quick fade head. Whiskey forward aroma with a soft vanilla. Medium body with vanilla, coffee hints, and a hershey syrup like flavor. Tastes almost like a chocolate malt shake with bourbon. I’m for it.

Bottle - Play dough and weird fruity notes. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Light acidic and sweet soapy notes. Not good.

Bottle - Dark malty and bourbon barrel notes. Deep dark cloudy brow with a small beige head. Sweet malty notes, bourbon and some Woody notes. Nice.
