Can from the Scott. Pour is thin dark brown with a small head. Aromas of chocolate, bananas, oats and smiles. Very lovely but a little thin.

Bomber via trade. This is for you Dude. Brune foncée, col beige. Arôme au nez malté, Bourbon perce très bien en rétro avec de fines effluves de vanille. Pointe de biscuité et café également à noter. Palais est malté, biscuité qcq notes de fruits noirs avec une douceur de sucre résiduel rappelant le sirop dérable voire la cane à sucre. Amertume modérée de houblons perce en retrait. Pas mal de chaleur venant des 15% avec un léger côté de spéculoos, au final, sympa, Bourbon joue son rôle, mais le tout reste trop doux même partagée à plusieurs.

Draft in a snifter. Chocolate brown with small tan head. Hint of booze on the nose but mostly chocolate and coconut. Surprisingly smooth. Palate has bourbon, chocolate, coconut, vanilla, espresso, molasses, and more. It was excellent but the 6 ounces I had was enough for me.

The appearance was a soft golden yellow color with a little white foamy head that left minimal sliding lace.
The aroma had some light funk, a little bit of driftwood, some earthy spice, mangoes, and ended with a little bit of orange peel bitterness.
The flavor was slightly sour and bringing about a nice tart and sweet edge to follow in nicely. Nice aftertaste of the sour, tart and sweet orange to mango. Finished slightly sour.
The feel was between light and medium bodied with a decent sessionability about it. Sourness wasn’t too harsh as it rolled over my tongue. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, pretty good sour ale that I’d have again.

Poured into a mug, the appearance was a semi-dark brown color with a quarter finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a moderate pace. Sliding messy lace.
The aroma had some coffee beans, light nuts and milk chocolate.
The flavor blended decently between the prior mentioned aromas and created a nice semi-smooth to roasty sort of aftertaste moderately blending into the finish.
The feel was about medium bodied, perhaps just a touch under with a lower carbonation about it, but I didn’t mind that. ABV felt fine and the smoothness was nice and somewhat creamy.
Overall, what makes this brown ale so good is that despite the level of roastiness coming across as it did, the smoothness on the feel that came about seemed to really make this beer perhaps a top 20 brown ale. At least in my book it is.

The appearance was a semi-burnt copper to almost brown color with a rust colored film of a little white semi-foamy head. Lace was light and sliding.
The aroma started with a huge roastiness to it. Then some chestnuts, earthiness, leather and a little bit of toast round it all out.
The flavor moderately leaned towards the roasty side, some sweetness came in and combined fairly nice. Aftertaste was a dry woody and roasty quality. Finish was abrupt and dry.
The feel was about medium bodied with a decent sipping quality about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine. Pretty smooth along my tongue.
Overall, I liked this one as a brown ale, but didn’t really get any of the supposedly \"barrel\" notes in this.

The appearance was a copper color with a thin white wisp of a head. Just slid off into oblivion.
The aroma had some caramel/toffee malts up front. Some woodiness, light earth and herbal qualities came out to try and blend. They somewhat did, but wasn’t too \"together.\"
The flavor was malty sweet with the herbal qualities trying to make a bigger part in this section. Still, they maintained a decent background for the most part. Aftertaste was somewhat malty along with the finish.
The feel was between light and medium bodied with a decent sessionability about it. Good carbonation and the ABV felt as directed by the brewer.
Overall, seemed on par for what the brewer intended. I don’t see many faults with this one. I could go at this one again preferably with some food.

Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a fairly clear golden sort of color with a small light eggshell white sort of foamy head. Moderate lace.
The aroma had some lemon to citrus smooth sweet pulpiness, lemongrass, light pine, some Belgian yeasty/breadiness and a touch of floral qualities at the end.
The flavor had a nice blend of sweet to bitter. Performed a nice blend in the aftertaste that followed into the finish.
The palate was about medium bodied, maybe a touch under with a good sessionability about it. Nothing distracting as it came across somewhat smooth. Good carbonation and the ABV felt fine.
Overall, yes, I get it, one of those white IPA’s that seem somewhat elusive every now and again. I didn’t mind this one, perhaps again if handed a bottle.

The appearance was a semi-clear golden yellow color with a decent paced carbonation rising to hit a fairly easy going little white head. Coughed up some shoe string lace.
The aroma had some grassy to citrusy sweet hop quality punching a little bit of zestiness.
The flavor was somewhat zesty yet sweet with that spicy contour about it. Not much of an aftertaste but had a nice little kick of the hops in the finish.
The palate seemed to have a medium body with a decent sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation. ABV felt right.
Overall, pretty good AIPA that I could come back to.
