Haven’t had this style in a few years. Really nice smoky flavor. Love it. “You make me want to smoke!” - Mel Gibson (who is featured on the can).

16 oz can from AE, 12/19/21. Canned 11/22/21. Some sort of collaboration with an NFT I think, but I'm lost beyond that. I'm sure I'm missing out. Murky golden-orange, white head, moderate lace. Herbal and grassy. Bit of earth. Pretty good.

500 ml bottle from AE, 12/17/21. Note: This is the version from the Anniversary release, AE has released 3 versions of this beer as of today - 2 on the 1st Anniversary - October 2021 (Whiskey & Cabernet), as well as a 3rd version (Whiskey w/ Hazelnuts and Cacao) in December 2021. This seems to have confused a number of people, as they all have the same label with a slight change being a circular tag on the left side of the label differentiating the versions. As for the beer, darker brown in color, thin brown head. Roast, vanilla, caramel, and toffee. On the sweeter side of balanced.

16 oz can from AE, 12/7/21. Canned 11/22/21. Fully hazed orange with a thick, creamy, white head that coats the glass in lots of lace. Juicy, grapefruit, pineapple, mango. Orange juice too. Bitterness is mild, fairly sweet, but not cloyingly so. Drinks nicely.

Bottle from the brewery from the 1st Anniversary release, 11/24/21. Dark brown pour, thin tan head. Roast, wood, and booze. Vinos, somewhat earthy. Astringent notes. A touch disjointed at first, but it rounds out nicely as it warms. Good stuff. 7/4/8/4/15

Draft at AE, 11/6/21. Pale yellow, ring of white head. Herbal, grains, some hay. Not sure I would have recognized the pea without it being in the name, but knowing it's there it's very present. Tingly. Fairly clean. Pretty good. 7/4/7/4/15
