Poured from 750mL bottle (thanks Derek & Jean F). Hazy gold with white head. Gentle oak, funk, citrus tartness, okay.

750ml (thx, Ryan!) @ Matt's new place. Appearance: hazy pale copper with a white head. Aroma: some rustic notes, a bit of smoky malts. Taste: along the same lines, lemony finish. Overall: ok, I wish it would be more sophisticated.

Hazy, looks dull. A bit fizzy and not a lot of head. The aroma has light pedio, touch of wood, delicate floral hopping. Tart palate, somewhat acetic, also a bit wheaty. It's fairly woody, less pedio on the palate. A bit sharp, lemony. Oak leaves tannins on the finish. Decent sour ale.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy orange with a medium white head. Aroma has plenty of oak, gentle tangy hops, and subdued bugs. Flavour is moderately acidic, with plenty of sour lemon tang, subdued bugs, and a hint of oak. A bit too acidic and puckering for my tastes -- really hits you in the side of the mouth with that sweet lemon tang. Not all that complex, just quite acidic and puckering on the finish. Decent but underwhelming.

Bottle thanks to Dan. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong coffee ground, cocoa, vanilla, wood. Slick body, vanilla, molasses, cocoa, roast, boozy finish, very good.

Pours a hazy, orange-pineapple, with smallish head. Aroma is slightly dank, with citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor is a bit more dank upfront, with tropical fruit and citrus. Soft mouthfeel. Very mild level of hop bitterness in the finish.

375ml (thanks, Alex M.G.!) @ Ryan's after kids' time. Appearance: almost black with a dark beige head. Aroma: a lot of vanilla, some American oak, some chocolate, some roasted malts. Taste: along the same lines, chocolate, fruity. Overall: I am not sure what people were saying about this one being overly sweet, it is not, and it is very far from that IMHO. Just ok, not a good representative of BBA IS from US.

Poured from 375mL bottle. Black with beige head. Vanilla forward with some cacao and fruitiness, barely picking up any bourbon here. It's fine. Forgettable.

Tasting at Ryan's, can, Jun 20, 5 months old
Aroma of tropical fruit and weed. Very low residual sweetness; some creaminess from the oats; aggressive hops (citrus peel, grapefruit, tangerine, touch of tropical), and light hopburn in the finish.
Good, but it's still an unclean and rather chalky Hazy.
