Poured from 500mL bottle. Very dark brown with minimal off white head. Aroma is vinous with chocolate notes, taste is a bit off - light phenolic notes with a wine acidity and stout mix. Doesn't blend well. Things are off.

500mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Nose is strange, with plenty of lactose, oak, and maybe a hint of grapes. Flavour is fucked up -- is that isovaleric acid (cheese)? I'm certainly getting some blue cheese/parmesan, or maybe it's butyric? It probably isn't either, but those off-flavours are what I'm getting, along with roast, lactose, and vinous notes. Whatever is going on here, this doesn't work. I'm getting cheese and vomit, and it just don't work. Ugh. Sad to taste this from two greats.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown hue with a small white head. A big boozy nose, vinous. Sugary sweet, vinous, grape juice, woody.

Dark brown. Thin head head. The aroma has a great barrel aroma, toasted, with deep dark fruits, fig jam, but there's some nutty accents here. On the palate, it's got a lot of that refined barrel. The base has maple accents, a bit more fig, but and some toffee sugar notes.

500mL bottle, pours black with a tiny beige head. Aroma has a nice blend of bourbon barrels, toasted oak, charred oak, and some spiciness. Flavour has quite a wonderful blend of bourbon, toasted oak, a touch of char, and a hint of vanilla. Fairly low residual sweetness. Body is light-to-medium, which is perfect to showcase the bourbon. Excellent.

If the last batch was salt forward this one's lime forward. Tangy sweet fun but not as complex as previous batches.

500mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Nose is full of tangy NZ dry hopping, rustic saison yeast, citrus, and a touch of oak. Flavour is tangy, citrusy, with rustic saison yeast, dry hopping, and a touch of oak. Dry, mineraly, citrusy, and lightly rustic. Very good.
