Tilton draught, 7/5/25.
Dark, undetermined clarity. Small, tan head.
Nose has a weird waxiness, earthiness and slight unfinished sugar (or is it the maple from the maple bourbon?). I don't know but it doesn't have any classic bourbon elements and there's little deep, intense fudginess from malt. No alcohol noted.
Weird flavors continue the trend with baked bean, wax and earth. No intense fudge, or soft chocolate, nothing resembling Heaven Hill that I can find. Body is medium, a bit sweet and sugary. Doesn't seem barrel-aged at all. Certainly doesn't have any of the good qualities of a Barrel-Aged stout.

Can pour at Tilton, 7/5/25.
Murky, yet still bright cherry-cranberry. Small, pinkish head to edges fairly quickly.
It's all there as advertise in the nose. Earthy, sweet "chocolate" with tart cherry and minimal lactose. Not sugary, somehow. Clean.
In the mouth it's fruity, tart, sweet, but not overly so with good acidity. Earthy, creamy, soft white chocolate dulls the cherry, lactic tartness. Pretty good attenuation leaving it still round for the most part. Not a fan of pastry sours, but this is done well for what it is.

Tilton draught, 7/5/25.
Moderately hazy, lime-bronze-golden. Small, white head.
Interesting floral, cannabis-like and gummy fruit notes with some fruity pepper. Weird but terpy and interesting. Cracker and light white bread balance gently in the background.
Clean and bright with fruity, peppery, "dank" and weed-like notes. Floral and peppery with a chewy, white bread-like texture and good attenuation. Some softer tropical juiciness with warming. As far as the terpenes go, it's definitely an interesting element.

Tilton draught, 7/5/25.
Moderately hazy, bright golden-lime-blonde. Small, firm, white head.
Juicy citrus with light accents of stronger, dry grapefruit. White bread and biscuit from the malt gently balances. Gains a hint of floral and tropical fruit character. Clean, no alcohol noted.
Juicy, with some musty mineral and an excellent body with high attenuation. Pretty standard citrusy juiciness but with a healthy bitterness and a bit of tropical fruit. Very clean and easy drinking. Maybe a hint too soft overall.

Can from the Packie
Mostly clear medium gold color with with a thin white head that persists. Earthy spicy with hints of clove and some bready crackery malt to counter. No as clean as some lagers but decent enough to drink.

Pour murky gold into a tulip. White head with little retention recedes to nothing. Hot mango and passion fruit aromas. Soft with hot caramel and earthy mango peel and pith upfront turning to spicy pith in the medium length finish.
