Sampled from the tap at Winterfest 2015. Pours a murky dark brown with a brown head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma is full of coffee with some sweet dark grains and a hint of roasted malts. Flavor has notes of sweet dark grains and coffee with some roasted malts in the finish.

At abr 2014. Bourbon in the aroma and flavor. Citrus and some oak. This is also a little sweet. This is a good beer.

Abr 2014. Herbal and spruce in the aroma and flavor. Dry and vitter. I pick up little hops and I wonder if this might be a gruit. I can smell and feel the alcohol. Dry finish.

All Pints North 2014. Opaque orange color; it looks good. Light wheat aroma, with a hint of yeast. Considerable salt in the flavor, but not sour at all. A decent wheat beer anyway.

Winterfest 2014. Spicy citrus and some sweetness. Refreshing. I don’t specifically taste the rum. Smooth palate. It is awesome they are doing barrels that did not hold bourbon.

almsot pitch black, 1 finger head that fades fast. Smells like rotten milk, cottage cheese and cocoa. If I hold my nose, the taste is okay. It has that walnut, charcoal, cocoa and coffee bean but there is a strange milky sweetness at the finish.

Pours a deep reddish-brown, with minimal head. Aroma is very sour, fruity, almost like rotten bananas. Flavor starts a bit sour, with distinct nut favors in the finish. I wasn’t favorably impressed.

Pours a clear, dark copper, with almost no head. Some floral notes in the aroma a flavor, but the malt and grain both are much more pronounced. I have to say this was kind of underwhelming.
