473 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with fizzy head that settles quickly. Aromas of dusty roasted malts, some nuts, and salt. Flavors follow same with a bit of plastic and a lot of salt. Base seems light and a lot of salt doesn’t provide much benefit.

Poured from 473mL can. Dark brown with small beige head. Bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, could use more depth, but it's decent.

16oz @ Ryan's shared with Alex. Appearance: nice brown with a beige head. Aroma: quite similar to the Powder Keg, bourbon barrel, chocolate, light meaty notes. Taste: along the same lines, chocolate, some roasted malt bitterness. Overall: not bad.

16oz @ Ryan's shared with Alex. Appearance: dark brown with a nice beige head. Aroma: barrel, some light meaty notes and chocolate. Taste: along the same lines, a weird mix of the stout, brown ale and quad that doesn't really work well together. On the thin side with a weird roasty bitterness. Overall: meh, I wish it would taste better.

Poured from 473mL can. Dark brown with minimal beige head. Lots of coffee, some bourbon and chocolate, hint of the quad peaks through, a bit thin bodied, but decent.

473 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with moderate tan head. Aromas of raisins, soft bourbon, chocolate, mocha and sweet roasty malts. Lighter flavors follow same but bolstered by fresh brewed coffee. Also getting some thin maple syrup… OK

473 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with full fizzy tan head. Aromas of sour dark fruit, soap, and wet roasted malts. Flavors follow same with a little chocolate. I don’t think the sour notes are intended and are not rye barrel flavors. Therefore beer is infected. Appears others are getting the same. So beer maybe this beer shouldn’t be on the market…

473mL can, pours black with a tiny head. Nose is full of cold brew coffee, cocoa nibs, and gentle bourbon barrels. Flavour is fairly rich, with lots of coffee upfront, followed by cocoa nibs, some bourbon barrels, and toasted malt. Cohesive and nicely barrelled, with a nice, lightly sweet coffee character. Very good.

440 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with moderate tan head. Aromas of dark caramel, dark raisins, plastic, and roasted malts. Flavors follow same with additional oak and weak bourbon. Seems thin and at odds. Disappointing for Howe Sound.

473mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of bourbon barrels, booze, light vanilla beans, and medium roast. Flavour is boozy, with lots of bourbon barrels, alcohol heat, vanilla beans, and medium roast. Nice bourbon character and a nice blend of beers, but not particularly complex. Pleasant.
