Dark brown. Rich. Big nose, very good bourbon. Big body, lots of sweet malt, and a fair amount of bourbon. This has a sweet slightly meaty character.

500ml from our Festival of Dark Arts 2026 trip with Josh (thx for the beer, man!) @ Ryan's.
Aroma: American oak, some dark sugars, bold.
Taste: along the same lines, a lot of dark caramel notes, a bit hot.
Overall: pleasant.

2023. Dark brown. Chocolate, raspberry, more mellow barrel than the 2024, but still balanced. Pour is a bit sludgy, still balanced, solid beer.

Dark brown, no head. Lots of chocolate and raspberry but also barrel, so it’s not smelling like it’ll be too rich. Balanced on the palate with mild raspberry, good bourbon, chocolate.

2015 vintage. Poured 2026. Dark amber, thin head. Big fruitiness, berries, pears, some toffee. Has good bitterness. Some piney hop. Still this hoppy, a rich old school American bw.

Can to stange.
Appearance: clear copper/red color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which fell off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: tart & sweet cranberries, slight wheaty sweetness then a light tart hint, wet grains
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a sweet to tart quality; finishes very cranberry forward and a touch of wheat
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, good smoothness, subtle tart zing but nothing that sticks, no pucker & no kick anywhere
Overall: nice as a cranberry tart wheat ale, I could come back to this as that.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: light yellow to copper color with some transparency and a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: orange peel with some lemony to citrusy hops, subtle floral hop backing then a light malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fair bitter to bittersweet quality; finishes somewhat lemony & orange bitter toned
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; light smoothness and expected hop bitterness assertiveness - just noticeable - nothing overbearing
Overall: nicely done West coast IPA I could bang again.
