16 oz. can, pours a cloudy reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma has big bourbon barrels, caramel, toffee, and brown sugar. Flavour is sugary, with lots of brown sugar, and caramel. Fairly simplistic for a near-17% BA barleywine. It's good, but needs more. Good.

16oz (thx, Brian!) @ Matt's house. Appearance: hazy copper with a beige head. Aroma: caramel, American oak, creamy notes, toffee. Taste: along the same lines, very boozy, pretty sharp. Overall: would be cool if this one would have a better integration and be smoother, but it's still good for what it is.

Poured from 473mL can. Hazed orangey brown with light beige head. Toffee, oak barrel, feint vanilla, a bit boozy, better than the Anniversary Ale Year 4. Decent.

16 oz. can, pours a clear blonde with a medium white head. Aroma is full of woody, piney hops, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour has a wonderful woody piney hop character, a touch of citrus, and a dry, doughy, bready malt base. Woody, dry, piney -- what a great expression of the Chinook. Excellent.

473mL can. Pours almost clear pale blonde with white head. Aroma has a really nice dry, woody, pine, some dankness. Flavour also has a ton of woody pine, a bit of dankness. This is fantastic Chinook expression, excellent.

Bright gold, with a thin head. The aroma has a nice minty, Chinooky hop profile, with honeyish malts. It's bitter, some dankish hop, woody, with a clean pale malt. This is excellent, especially that hop character.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear dark brown with a smear of bubbles. Aroma of bourbon with something that could be nuts. Med body. Flavor is bourbon/vanilla with amberish toffee and something that could be nuts. Sort of buttery. There's a chocolate note too. Not dry, but short of sticky. Not bitter, but some heat makes up for that. All in all it's a fairly good flavor.
gave a cheers!
