On tap at Oakshire PDX, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma screams out huge bourbon barrels, some spicy rye, dark dried fruits, and roasted malt. Flavour is remarkably rich, with intense dark dried fruits, complex dark sugars, some toffee, and an elegant mix of bourbon barrel blending. Extremely rich palate that has enough sugars without ever becoming remotely cloying. Wonderful blend.

On tap at Oakshire PDX, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is dominated by the chamomile, with the cardamom further back, along with plenty of esters. Flavour is rather estery and spicy, with too much residual sugar, spicy chamomile, a touch of cardamom, and a hint of rustic yeast. Too estery, not carbonated enough, and the spices don’t rescue this. Not great.

On tap at Oakshire PDX, pours a clear bronze with a small off-white head. Aroma has some bubblegumy esters, light candi sugar, and a touch of berry. Flavour is too estery, with cotton candy, bubblegumy esters, and moderate sugars. The carbonation is way too low for the style and the yeast is improperly used. Not even close to authentic, nor is it all that satisfying with all those esters.

On tap at Oakshire PDX, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some allium, melony hops, and a touch of citrusy hop tang. Flavour has fairly bright hop tang courtesy of the Nelson, but it seems held back by the Citra with that allium character. Some nice green melon in there too. Maybe not the most cohesive hop blend but it works.

On tap at Oakshire PDX, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of bittering hops, light pine, and sweet biscuity malt. Flavour is bitter as fuck, with massive pinecone bitterness, more pine, and yet more pine, with that old school caramely malt backbone courtesy of the Crystal. Super bitter finish. Somewhat jarring to drink again after all these years, but still hits the spot.

On tap at Oakshire (Portland). Pours a slightly hazy blonde with a white head. Floral saison yeast, cardamom, and chamomile on the nose. Flavour has plenty of chamomile and a fairly flat saison yeast expression. Malts are a bit lopsided. It's okay.

On tap at Oakshire (Portland). Pours clear black with a minimal head. Loads of bourbon barrels, dark sugars, some dried fruit leather, and roasted malts on the nose. Flavour is rich and malty, bready malts, dark sugars, fruit leather, a touch of molasses, and loads of big bourbon barrels. All very well integrated. Excellent.

On tap at Oakshire (Portland). Pours clear deep gold with a white head. Stale caramel and bubblegum on the nose. Flavour has a brutal run of esters over stale caramel malts. Very rough.

On tap at Oakshire (Portland). Pours clear blonde with a white head. Bright pine, dank oils, and some resin on the nose. Flavour has a very similar profile to the nose. Nice, but the hops are a bit muddled.
