12oz can c/o Ryan. Really nice stuff. Massive barrel tone, and a big enough beer to stand up to it. Wow. Drinks bigger than its sugar bomb 14% peers. Good.

Very no-frills, an IPA that tastes like one from the days when breweries didn’t give a shit about IPAs. Lots of caramel and esters, a touch of citrus and white bread yeastiness, and a modest pine bitterness on the finish. Eh.

12oz can c/o Ryan. Rum barrel full dominates most everything about this beer. Boozes it out, kind of takes away a lot of the enjoyability of the malts. Classic case of better without the barrel. OK.

Can (BB 1/20/26) from Friar Tuck, Crestwood. Lightly hazy, honey brown, no sparkle, huge head (burst out of the can) with excellent retention, and splotchy lacing. Aroma is caramel, pine, light citrus and apricot. Taste is super strong caramel, milder pine, hint of citrus. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. This reminds me of all those traditional/West Coast IPA/DIPA that I purchased at a discount after their best-by date 10 years ago when I started rating. But, that was when those hops had decayed beyond recognition. This is still three weeks before their freshness date ends! Likely what they wanted. Just not great.

Can, best before Jan 30, 2026, from tfontana, drunk 12/22/25, as pictured. Thanks, Tom!
Tropical fruit (mango) with clementine and peach. Some oxidation and some caramel. I guess they don't want it to be a New England style, which is fine, but that's not an excuse to use a bunch of caramel malt.
Caramel and bread with toast and tropical hop notes. The hops are done well, with light but ample bitterness and a good, fruity, juiciness. But this caramel malt, with its sweetness, bread and toast has to go....

12 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you! Aroma is caramel malt and very slight pine. Flavor follows with just a little bit of citrus. A lot of caramel malt. This is about as classic an old-school as you possibly can get. Almost reminds me of an old Sierra Nevada pale ale.
