Pint Can. Pours a crystal clear yellow gold color with a small white head that has fair retention. The aroma is rather mild with straw, corn and a trace of pine. The taste is hay, breads, walnuts and pine. The palate is light and crisp with lively carbonation. Finishes dry with lingering piney hops. Overall: Decent pils--best I've had in a long time.

8 oz. can (duh). Pours black, with a pretty big, foamy, brown head. The nose is dark chocolate, walnut, mild anise, vanilla, and cloves. Sweet and malty, with a mellow, boozy finish. A low, pleasant bitterness. Medium to heavy body, with a slick, dusty, and syrupy. Solid, aggressive stout.

8 oz. can. Pours black, with a smaller, bubbly, tan head. The aroma is coffee, cherry wood, light brandy, pleasant tobacco, cloves, and milk chocolate. Sweet and malty, with a mellow, spicy, booziness. Heavy body, slick, and sharp. Lovely, heavy, and decadent.

Can thanks to Megan. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is dark fruit, bourbon, wood, toffee. Slick body, chocolate, roast, raisin, toffee, wood, nice sweetness, enjoyed this.

Straight barrel as id expect from Westbound and down, still wish I was in their membership!
Deleted 4/28/24 checkin:
So much barrel on this, so much dark chocolate. Drying finish, medium light body with plenty of flavor.
