500ml (thx, Ryan P.!) @ Ryan's. Appearance: almost black with a weak dark beige head. Aroma: loads of oak, viscous, moderately sweet, fruity, some leather. Taste: along the same lines, it's very smooth and I would even say it's kind of on the thin side considering the quite high ABV. Overall: good, but it's not stellar definitely.

Poured from 500mL bottle (2022 vintage; 13.7% abv). Near black with very minimal beige head. Very nice bourbon character, chocolate, roast, good complexity, simple and balanced, abv is hidden, nice and smooth.

Pours a hazy, orange-pineapple, with smallish head. Aroma is dank and pungent, with citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor follows, with some hop resin and stone fruit notes as well. Soft mouthfeel. Mild hop bitterness at the finish.

Pours a hazy, lemon-banana yellow, with smallish head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor is citrus and tropical fruit. The ABV is pretty well-hidden on this one. Soft mouthfeel. Moderate level of hop bitterness in the finish.
This is the worst beer I’ve ever had. Tom, please send me whatever you have left, so I can properly dispose of it.
Tropical Island vibe, with a nice bitterness to complement the juice. Brilliant!
Great new school west coast. Bright, floral, berry, piney. Lovely. Thanks TQ for the assist! Kinda been feeling sorta mostly dead the past month. Been dreadfully slow with work and hockey games since the turn of the calendar year.
Real creamy, a bit sweet, with a hoppy, grassy finish. Well done collab where it’s obvious both breweries made their mark. Thanks TQ!
Monday night football, laundry, meal prep, edibles.

Can shared by Brian, thanks! Pours a clear gold with a yellow hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of hay and straw with a bit of grass and some bread underlying. Flavor is straw forward with a bit of grass, hay and light grains backing.
