Can. Pours a hazy yellow with a slight honeydew hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has dank citrus and mango with a bit of melon and a sweet grain backbone. Flavor has citrus and blood orange with a hint of floral, some citrus rind and sweet grains backing.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear light gold with a full two fingers of white foam that lingers. Lovely aromas of citrus, grapefruit, pine and very light caramel. Palate shows the same notes, citrus and gummy bears with a nice pithy, pine bite that lingers. Very good.

April 2025 bomber drunk 11/26/25. As pictured.
Prune, vanilla, toffee. Another that is very barleywine-like. No distinct bourbon, but it's certainly there. Spice, vanilla, mild oak. No alcohol but lots of caramel, prune, raisin.
Malty, sweet, rich and caramelly. Very barleywine-like with zero roast, no fudge and little chocolate. Lots of dark fruit with a syrupy texture and rich bourbon spice. Tons of vanilla and toffee lingering with peppery alcohol and licorice , but no alcohol heat. It's mostly balanced enough but the alcohol ends up doing most of the drying, which I don't love. A bit too sweet overall. Gave this one 7 months in the cellar and it's nowhere near ready to drink. Pretty frustrating.

2025 bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a thick, viscous deep black to brown. Big aromas of vanilla, dark chocolate and bourbon barrel. Oak and bourbon with tons of vanilla on the palate. Vanilla sweetness is there but the oak and dark chocolate notes balance out the sweetness. Lingering bourbon and vanilla on the finish.

This beer is a slightly hazed orange-gold color with a medium frothy white head that recedes steadily to a film. Sticky strings of lace. Aroma of resiny hops, tropical fruit and malt. Medium body with flavors of piney hops, tropical fruit, citrus and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
