Bottle shared by Johnny. Oh man, an old school barleywine with loads of bourbon, awesome! Heavy fat bourbon aroma. Love it!! Malts, caramel, bourbon, soft wood, lightly boozy, vanilla. Light alcohol burn. Burnt sugars. Awesome beer. Even after 10 years and being nearly flat. Awesome beer. Love it.

Tasty WCIPA, lots of sweet citrus and pine and caramel, a nice mix of modern juicy notes and old school IPA goodness. Solid pint.

Leans towards the style of hazy I can tolerate, where the sweetness is kept in check and the beer isn’t overhopped to the point of being a chive-flavored astringent mess. Moderate tropical grapefruit notes accented by a touch of melon, finished off with a mineral bitterness. More pine would be nice. Not bad.

Tasty IPA, notes of grapefruit rind, melon, passion fruit, mango, and a touch of white grape, with a spicy rye undertone and a modest pine bitterness on the finish. Good pint.

Kinda funky and worty and rough around the edges but still pretty darn tasty. Caramel and wet malt mix with orange, stone fruit, and a slight tropical note. Copious pine on the back end and a pleasant bitterness in the finish. Nice pint.

Amber colour, just a slight haze. Not much head. The hops on this go into a herbaceous direction, with some citrus. The malts are rich, biscuity/toasty. There's a decent bitterness to balance all of this out. Solid old school DIPA.

Pale amber, with a slight haze. Not much head. Piney, grapefruity aroma, with biscuity pale malt. That same malt character carries through onto the palate. Orangey hop note, some limonene in there, and a bit of stone fruit. Good hop character. Medium bitterness, just enough honestly.

Slight haze, pale, nice peach aroma, mostly lactic maybe a touch acetic. Peachy, bright, drinks well with lactic focus and complex bugginess.
