Can from Corti Bros. Pours lightish gold with a white head. Aroma does indeed suggest peach and pineapple. More or less medium body. Flavor is kind of peach, with a bit of something suggesting pineapple. Malt is detectable, and I think I get something like chewing on flake oats. It's reasonably dry, reasonably hoppy, and reasonably bitter. A tasty middle of the road sort of ale. Maybe it's hoppier than I gave it credit for. Nice stuff.

Bottle. I wonder if this is a beer that is bear very fresh. Hops are mild. There is citrus and it is is sweet. Simple and easy to drink, I am surprised it is rated so poorly.

Sampled on draft at Tapped this beer poured a golden color with a large creamy white head that left excellent lacing. The aroma was tangy and a bit musty with cracker and artificial sugar. The flavor was dryish and a bit tart with strong watermelon candy and honeydew. Long finish. Medium body.

Bomber from La Riviera. Pours brilliant dark copper with a beige head. Aroma of whiskey that seems bourbon; hints of light treacle. Med + body. Flavor is light treacle, medium dark fruits, whiskey that seems bourbon, and a little tasty heat. Not very dry; whiskey stands in for bitter. Very tasty indeed.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce can into pint glass, best before 5/24/2018. Pours crystal clear very dark brown color with a 1 finger fairly dense khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, nutty coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toasted oak, whiskey, and dark bread; with lighter notes of vanilla, smoke, char, dark fruit, pepper, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of roast/bready malts, whiskey/oak, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, nutty coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toasted oak, whiskey, and dark bread; with lighter notes of vanilla, smoke, char, dark fruit, pepper, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate roast/char/herbal bitterness and whiskey/oak spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, nutty coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toasted oak, whiskey, dark bread, light smoke/char, herbal, pepper, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of roast/bready malts, whiskey/oak, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great roasted bitter/sweet and whiskey/oak spiciness balance; with zero acrid/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from hop/char bitterness and whiskey/oak spiciness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky/bready, and fairly sticky/chalky/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol for 6.2%. Overall this is a delicious oak aged dry stout style. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of roast/bready malts, whiskey/oak, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Not a ton of whiskey presence, but solid. Good overall oak presence. Rich malts and balancing earthy hops. A very enjoyable offering, and great style example. Bit of an imperial version of the style.

Killed the keg at the Brass Tap. Pours clear, very pale yellow, with a big, white head. Basically pina colada aromas. Pineapple, bitter citrus, and white sugar. Sweet and fruity. Very light body, with a thin, syrupy mouthfeel. Fun idea, but not great.

Tap at Patrick's. Nitro. Big & black. Creamy tan head. Yes, nose is coffee. Excellent lacing BTW. Completely flat of course. Can't taste the whisky or oak in this one and I'm glad, so tired of those barrel beers. Difficult stout in the middle but never rises to impy level. A little uncivilized in the coffee arena in the end. A little co2 would make this more palatable.
