Slight haze, thick head. Weedy aroma with lychee and grapefruit. Lots of bitterness. Clean pale malt. Good pithy citrus character. Good times.

Dark brown, thick head. Roasty, piney aroma is definitely appetizing. Roasty, hoppy, chocolate, lots of bitterness but also a nice malt sweetness in the finish. Well-balanced. Excellent.

On tap at Pine Box, pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma is robust, with big roasted malt and tons of earthy, piney hops -- yeah, that smells legit. Flavour is much the same, with a bold mix of roasted malt and potent piney, earthy hops. This one doesn't shy away from the roast or potent hops. Excellent old school black IPA like they used to make 'em.

12 oz. bottle, pours a clear dark amber with a medium beige head. Aroma has a nicely complex malt character: lots of toasted bread, dry toasted caramel, a bit of baking spice, and dry toffee. Flavour is much the same, with lots of toffee, toasted caramel, bready malt, and again with that spiciness, maybe a bit of nuttiness too. Not too sweet, but with a very nice malt character. Not the usual, brutal, sweet barley wine, but instead, a carefully blended, nuanced, rounded strong ale. Excellent.

On tap at Pine Box, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma is like a tiki stout, with tons of rum and coconut in good cohesion — barely smells like a beer. Flavour is intense and yet cohesive, with a ridiculous amount of rum and coconut upfront and dominating; there's absolutely nothing subtle about this. This is a straight out assault of tiki-like rum and coconut. Ridiculous. Fun for an ounce but impossible to drink more.

On tap at Chuck's CD, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is very light, with subtle pumpkin spices and some earthiness. Flavour is full of pumpkin spices, lots of nutmeg, a touch of cinnamon, and some toasted caramel. It's a spice bomb - meh.

Cloudy, big head, the centennial is pretty big, minty, herbaceous but in this case the fermentation is a bit off. This leaves the malt sticky and underattenuated. Yeasty, doughy.

On tap at The Pine Box, pours a cloudy bright orange with a large white head. Aroma brings out fresh floral hops, a touch of pine, and doughy malt. Flavour is bright, with fruity floral hops, bready malt, and some spicy doughy notes. Fresh and bright, with a doughy finish. Very good.
