Opaque, thick head. This has a big fruity pear aroma, soft body, peaches, and there's good balance. Moderate bitterness.

473mL can, pours a cloudy yellow with a medium white head. Aroma brings out pithy stone fruits, some orange, and tropical hops. Flavour is rather muffled and chalky, with stone fruit pith, some tropical fruits, and citrus hops. Moderately chalky, muffled, and dirty. Less egregious than most garbage hazies, but still nothing impressive.

(On tap @ The Wheeled, Barrie ON, Oct 23/22) Pours very hazy pale orange with a thick eggshell head and lace. Aroma and flavour are both heavily dank, skunky bag of weed for sure, some ripe peach and orange sweetness, bready fairly full malt for NEIPA, earthy dankness and orange peels continue all the way into the finish which is off-dry and lightly to moderately bitter thanks to the heavy dank/resin-forward ganja vibes. Medium-bodied, creamy, softly carbonated. Dank shake for sure, but quite tasty for a non-juice bomb.

Black colour, no head. The closest aroma to a chocolate truffle that can be found. Full bodied, sweet, not yet syrupy; with the dark chocolate, there are also components of vanilla and coffee, burnt sugar, roasted nuts, tobacco, and the alcohol is very evident, helping the mouthfeel, but a bit too strong.
Excellent.

500ml (thx, Jonathan M.!) on Alex's backyard. Appearance: almost black with no head. Aroma: lots of vanilla, bourbon, and bourbon barrel, some chocolate. Taste: moderately sweet, nice barrel and vanilla, character. Overall: very pleasant and a nice representative of the style.

Black, thick, and with no head. Aroma of chocolate, leather, tar, vanilla. It's full bodied, sweet but not syrupy, dark chocolate flavour, but also a lot of tar, molasses, leather, liquorice, and eventually a sweeter note of vanilla, probably the bourbon; the alcohol is well hidden; higher than usual malt acidity here, and some rubbery roast in the finish.
It's not very refines, and there are signs of oxidization, but it's very bold and full of elements.

500ml (thx, Jonathan M.!) @ Brian's. Appearance: pours like on oil, very dark brown with a weak beige head. Aroma: loads of coffee with moderate maple notes, and some chocolate. Taste: quite thick, sweet, nice incorporation of coffee and maple. Overall: definitely a world-class stout here.
