16.9 oz. bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is fairly hot, with plenty of hot bourbon barrels, dark sugars, and molasses. Flavour has a bit of a hot, with some low-moderate quality bourbon barrels, dark sugars, and some roast. The barrel quality really drags this down, despite the base beer blend being good. It’s good, but ultimately subpar due to the barrels.

Dark brown, thin head. There's some nice umami on the nose, with barley wine influence, chocolate. A bit of carbonation here. A good toasty note, lots of barrel...not super refined but still good whiskey,

500mL bottle. Pours black with a beige head. Lots of bourbon and barley, brown bread on the nose. Flavour has rich barley, bourbon barrels, stale bread crusts. Bourbon is a bit too boozy on the finish. Overall very good.

12 oz. can, pours a lightly hazed golden blonde with a medium white head. Nose reveals the tangy hops from the Nelson upfront, along with pine, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is surprisingly bitter and well-hopped for a pale ale, with bright tangy hops, bitter pine, and a crispy biscuity malt underbelly. Beautiful combo of the Nelson and Columbus. Excellent.

Aroma has notes of chocolate, wood. Taste is bittersweet with flavors of roasted chocolaty malts and light barrel influence.

Pale, gold, medium head. Clean, nice pale malt, medium bitterness, and it has that wonderful Idaho 7 spiciness to it. Well made, delicious IPA.

16.9 oz. bottle, pours black, almost no head. Nose is full of intense peanuts and marshmallow upfront, wrapped up in nice bourbon barrels. Flavour is complex, with a nice melange of peanuts, marshmallow, bourbon barrels, vanilla, and some cocoa. Cohesive, complex, and wonderfully structured. Excellent.

500mL bottle. Pours very dark brown with minimal head. Tons of marshmallow, peanuts, and hazelnut on the nose. Flavour has a similar line-up of adjuncts with a solid roasty malt base and well-integrated bourbon barrels.
