473 ml can. Pours amber with moderate head. Aromas of fruity Belgian yeast with subtle esters, plus a bit of spice and bready malts. Flavors follow same though quite sweet with burnt/dried fruit.

Flight pour at brewery. Pours clear gold with white head. Aroma has esters. Flavour has esters, some chemical bitterness, sweet malts. Low carbonation. The bitter chemical flavour ruins the beer for me. This is not very good.

Flight pour at brewery. Pours cloudy yellow with white nitro head. Aroma has fresh pine and light tropical fruit. Flavour has pine and orange citrus. Mouthfeel is pretty smooth. Profile is a bit muddled on account of the style, but the underlying hop expression seems pretty decent. Hop burn on the finish. Booo.

473 ml can. Pours a dull copper color with moderate head. Aromas of soft muddled fruit and doughy malts with a bit of pine. Flavors of wet toasted malts and light fruity caramel. Heavy/full - is that the potatoes?

Poured from 473mL can. Clear amber brown with light beige head. Furniture oak, some dried fruit and bourbon with a hint of vanilla. The oak overpowers here and is inferior quality, unbalanced, but each of the individual flavours are fine. Room for improvement.

473mL can. Pours clear amber with a beige head. Aroma has dried fruit, vanilla, oak, and bourbon. Flavour has charred oak, dried fruit, burnt toffee, bourbon. Quite dry and has a lot of the bourbon barrel; needs a bit of work, but still pretty good.

473mL can, pours a clear dark reddish brown with a small off-white head. Aroma has a nice toasted/charred oak character upfront, with light vanillin, lots of toasted chestnuts, some caramel, toffee, and bready malt. Flavour is quite dry, with toasted chestnuts, dry caramel, bready malt, plenty of charred oak, plenty of vanilla, and finishing dry and somewhat boozy. The palate is on the thinner side, and there's pretty low residual sweetness for a barley wine. But there's some nice flavours here, and everything is fairly well-integrated. Not bad really.
