Bomber from the brewery, consumed in a hotel room. Pours dark brown, with a fleeting, tan head. The nose is toffee, nutty sherry, dusty cocoa, pine sap, and sharp caraway. Sweet and rubbery, with a mild, dusty bitterness. Medium to heavy body, syrupy, and quite acrid. Rough and remarkably unpleasant.

750 mL bottle, drunk from a hotel tumbler. Orange and fairly opaque, with a thin, bubbly head. The nose is red wine tannins, sea salt, lemon zest, black pepper, wet grass, and green apple. Sweet and juicy, with a mellow, leathery tartness. Medium body, musty, and drying. Complex and quite tasty.

Draft at the brewery. Pours an dull, unclear, orange color, with a small, foamy, beige head. The aroma is candied orange, nutmeg, cane sugar, mild spruce, and lavender. Very sweet and sugary, with a mellow, pithy bitterness. Heavy body, syrupy, and clingy. Nice , strong and fun.

Short pour at the brewery. Pours black, with small, foamy, tan head. The nose is creme de cocoa, toasted coconut, maple syrup, and toffee. Very sweet and syrupy, with no bitterness or balance. Heavy, syrupy, and bit malty, and slick. Decadent and syrupy (in case you didn't catch it earlier). Quite tasty.

Taster at the brewery. Pours a murky, straw color, with a small, bubbly, white head. The nose is coriander, lemon cream, peach, mild leather, and rose water. Sweet and sugary, with a lovely, easy, citrusy sour flavor. Light to medium body, smooth, crisp, and clean. Beautiful, balanced, and delicious.
