Bottled (from Alko). Golden colour with a mediumsized creamy white head. Aroma is earth, yeast, some floral notes with a bit spices and some rice. Flavour is rice, somewhat coriandery and spicy with some slight yeast and mild wooden notes. Nice yeasty, spicy and fruity aftertaste. Yet feels a bit simplistic, like lacking one layer of flavours to be on par with classic Saisons.

Slightly hazy, dark golden, small head, lasting laces. Strawberry and peach aroma. These fruits also comes with the taste. Rather sweet, oily texture, alcohol hidden. Balanced and lasting bitterness.

2017 - Smooth, sweetish and malty with loads of oaky notes, hints of stingy woody whiskey, vanilla and prunes, some oxidized notes and hints of chocolate sauce and stingy booziness. Slightly unbalanced and a bit aggressive OMT

Draft pour to a tulip at Elliott Bay Pizza. Cola black appearance, active head and sticky lacing. Always impressed with this series. Huge bold toasty notes that border char. Cooled and balanced gentle vanilla notes with a dry oak. Really like how subtle the vanilla is here and leaves absolutely no sweetness behind. Lots of oak on the nose, with the same toasty malts and a soft coffee ground. Very easy drinking, robust, flavorful imperial stout. Big beer worthy of the 19 oz cans I've seen from these guys. Excellent brew.
