Draught @ the brewery (Nov 2023). Pours opaque dark brown with a very small frothy beige head, sharp woodsy bourbon aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter woodsy toasted malt taste with strong bourbon overtones, thin body, long woodsy bourbon finish. Quite boozy bit good.

Draught @ the taproom. Clear dark amber-copper with a small frothy off-white head, faint spruce aroma, adequate carbonation, bitter piney taste with spruce flavor, thin body, long bitter finish. The spruce tips have given a refreshing feel to the brew.

16oz can. While the flavor isn't so bad for the style, the aroma just kills it for me. Artificial cheap chocolate and vanilla tone. Awkward overall, little finesse. Not impressive at all.

12oz can. Guava is a decent enough flavor even when in sugared puree form. I really don't enjoy the margarita flavoring though. Crisp and bright enough, some cactus tone. OK for what it is I suppose.

12oz can. Kind of gross. The pineapple isn't enjoyable, the margarita tone is just odd and not right. Almost an agave tone. Not enjoyable.
