Bottle to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown in color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark fruits, caramel/toffee malts, barrel/woody vibes, touch of vanilla, some earthy sweetness
Flavor: mirrors the prior noted aromas sweetly in a woody to earthy and fruity sort of way; dark fruity/woody barrel finish
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper; some smoothness but also a trickle of barrel spice nipping at the tongue
Overall: pretty nicely done barrel aged barleywine, wish I could get that again. Eh, oh well, there's other greatness out there.

Bottle to snifter.
Appearance: jet black in the pour and in the glass with a finger and a half's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: sweet and roasty coffee tones, maple syrup at a great level, and woody barrel edges
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to woody sweet and semi-spicy toned underneath, finishes with the maple and the coffee roasty vibe
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper, some smoothness but a slight spicy barrel edge making a decent play to undermine the smoothness
Overall: I say a very nicely done barrel aged impy stout.

Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: dark brown to purple-ish tones, subtle transparency along the sides, one finger white foamy head dissipated nicely to leave barely any lace
Aroma: tart and subtle sweet tones of the rhubarb and blueberry, subtle light grassiness underneath
Flavor: tart to sweet initially with a sly sour edge underneath; finishes tart and sweet with the rhubarb and blueberries
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning to being a sipper, some tart to sour hits the tongue as expected but not overbearing
Overall: pretty nicely done tart fruit ale worthy of coming back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: lighter than expected to semi-cloudy yellow color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some lemony to grassy hops to subtle crisp to tart wheaty tones
Flavor: mildly blends the prior noted aromas together and adds light kiss of the semi-spicy yeasty tone which I think was part of the witbier yeast strain; mild finish of the lemon, yeast, and tart wheat
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, some smoothness but also some of the kick of the wit to tell me this is trying to be a witbier
Overall: I believe this was a nice enough effort from an American brewer to execute the witbier style. I'd return to this if I could.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: glossy burnt yellow to copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: grassy to citrusy to piney hop tones, a touch of zest of the hops underneath then a clean malt base
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a clean bittersweet quality; finishes semi-citrusy and piney
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, low carb, some bitterness but also a little bit of smoothness
Overall: I'd say it works as a session IPA, would be a nice grill side beer or take some cans fishing.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: copper color with some transparency about it, closer to the sides with a one and a half fingers of white foamy lace.
Aroma: light raspberry sweetness, light spruce/piney needle-like scent, nice clean malt base
Flavor: semi-sweet with a fresh-like piney bitterness; finishes piney & raspberry-ish
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to light, sessionable, some smoothness but also some bitterness rubbing along the tongue
Overall: nicely done IPA and with a nifty idea for a modern twist.
