On tap at Fortside, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has a fruity character to the hop expression, with gentle pine, and some earthiness. Flavour is much drier, with biscuity malt, earthy hops, and some straw. Fairly restrained, with a dry, very lightly bitter finish. Okay.

Draft pour pint at Elliott Bay Pizza, Mill Creek. Lighter, shiny golden pour, oily foam head. Lots of citrus forward hops.here, with a piney secondary. Overall a more crisp bodied IPA. Grassy and citrus nose. Lighter feel here, but tasty nonetheless. Subtle lingering grapefruit. Solid classic IPA here.

12 oz. can, pours jet black with a small brown head. Aroma is big on the bourbon barrels, with plenty of vanillin, some iodine, cocoa, and roast. Flavour is robust, with intense woody barrel character dominating, medium roast, some earthiness, and more wood. Quite dry, somewhat charred, and woody. The base beer is probably not the greatest, but the barrel character really shines. Very good.

Poured from 355mL can. Pitch black with small tan head. Bourbon barrel, mild chocolate, fairly mellow flavour, but lets the bourbon shine through. Decent.
