The Phightens went around the horn quite a bit this afternoon, turning five double plays vs the Red Birds.
Little grassy, little juicy. Very enjoyable SIPA. Winding down work with Leafs/Habs.

Can pour at Decibel Beer and Metal Fest: pours dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is vanilla and chocolate. Light chocolate, kind of dry. Fairly good.

Can at Decibel Beer and Metal Fest: pours gold with white head. Aroma is bready lightly fruity. Taste is malty with a slightly hoppy note.

Dark sweet toasted malty with lots of rich opulent chocolate, lots of caramel and fudge, dried fruit shred, full bodied, bourbon infused spiced malty finish. Lovely.

Dark brown, inky. Molasses, nice chile, happy bourbon. The malts are brown sugar, light chocolate, and the chile is rolling over top of that. Great malts, sugars, and the barrel is pretty well-rounded.

500mL bottle, pours black with a tiny head. Nose brings out mostly the cinnamon upfront, with gentle bourbon, and some fermented out dark sugars. Flavour is heavy-handed on the cinnamon, with dark sugars, molasses, bourbon barrels, and a hint of chili peppers. The cinnamon shines. The base beer still needs some work, but it’s well-made.

Dullish brown. No head. There's a nice cinnamon and vanilla nose. Big body. On the palate, there's a much nicer sugar note, it comes across like ginger cookies, and the cinnamon and vanilla are still huge. The peppers aren't really coming through a whole lot, but the whole thing put together is a bit of a nostril cleaner.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Near black with almost no beige head. Mostly vanilla and cinnamon, very feint chill pepper, thinner medium body. More on par with Suffering (my favourite was Hate).
