Draft - Nice barrel and caramel notes with hints of butterscotch. Clear dark copper with a beige head. Nice sweet barrel, caramel, wood and a light bitterness in the finish. Well balanced and integrated.

2014 vintage. On tap at WA Winter Beer Festival 2015, pours a deep dark amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma is fairly complex, with caramel, dark fruits and barrels. Flavour is similar but overly complex, with bready malt, a touch of caramel and some barrels. Not well integrated, nor is it complex. It's reasonable but nothing special.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours bright copper with an off-white head. Aroma is spicy/grassy over a caramel backbone. Nice, but not offensively intense. Med body or better. Flavor is "tea" forward. Tastes like tea - Earl Grey even? Which is sort of citrus. There’s a slight hop burn developing. It’s fruit and tea and bitter. Gets a bit citrus in the finish. This is not as expected, but it makes a strong statement!

Same thing as "Sol Patch"? Amber, lots of cinnamon, pumpkin, nutmeg. Sweet, but medium body and still spice-forward, though with reasonable balance.

Amber, sweet, moderate berryish, fruity hops. Sweet, with a touch of booziness. Mostly just a good strong IPA.

At the brewery. Pale and hazy, quite orangey, light body, wheaty, with a blast of orange juice. Refreshing in a radler sort of way.
