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.
