Aromos are mild MJ with grassy, malt and a bit of citrus. Flavors are similar to nose and more bitter than sweet and okay carbonation. Pretty good.

Aromas are stone fruit with a little citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors are similar to nose, slightly sweet with enough bitter and mildly soft carbonation. Decent but not great.

Can.
A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, no head.
A- Cinnamon, vanilla, brown sugar, chocolate fudge, mild booze.
T- Chocolate, mild roast, bourbon, faint baking spice, molasses.
F- Full body, slightly thin texture, average carbonation, balanced finish.
O- Nice. Smells like a stout, tastes like a barleywine. Love the 8 oz cans for beers like this. More subdued than I would expected for the abv. Good stuff.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear bright gold with a large white head that turned foamy. Aroma of pale malt - seemingly not bready - with a good amount of Noble hop aroma. Arguably med body. It's quite dry and quite bitter. Mostly Noble grass/spice for hop. Excellent pils.

16 oz. can. Pours dark brown, with a big, foamy, tan head. The aroma is light cocoa, black bread, mild resin, and caraway. Sweet and malty and yeasty, with a light, spicy bitterness. Light to medium body, fluffy, and sticky. Pretty solid.
Juicy peachy love.

pint can. pours a nice looking copper-amber color with a medium sized off-white head that soon dissipates. The aroma is mild with caramel malts and some grains. The taste is rather bready with rye, caramel, noble hops and some fruits (perhaps apples). The palate is clean and crisp. Finishes long and a bit astringent. Overall: Fair marzen, might buy again.

Pint can. Herbal hop aroma with notes of pine resiny hops, grapefruit, grassy hops, tangerine and orange. Pours clear golden colored with a large white head that has excellent retention and good lacing. Starts with tangerine, orange and grassy hop flavors. Finishes dry with grapefruit, pine resin and herbal hop flavors. Classic west coast ipa.

Canned 6/11/25, drunk 8/29/25.
Dark, clear. Small, tan head, quickly to ring.
Fudge but also some more roast than usual for these contemporary Imperial Stouts. Don't get much of the barleywine here, maybe just a bit of toffee-maple. Actually, there's some vanilla and more candy-like cara malts on the finish. Definitely plentiful bourbon, though not hot.
Soft, sweet, rich, warming and clean without any hot booze. Certainly a lasting spiciness and warmth from the alcohol and barrel, though. Nice mix of caramel, toffee, vanilla, fudge and dark chocolate, with more roast than usual for the style, leaving a bitter licorice note lingering. Body is chewy, slick, slightly syrupy but not cloying in texture or sugar level. All sorts of fun barrel complexity here.
