Listed as Imperial Barrel Aged Whiskey Stout @ 11% so I hope I got this in the right place. Slight malty aroma. First taste is somewhat flat. Has a big alky kick in the jaw, wew. Whiskey is not quite apparent but mind you this is a volatile brew. Quite strong and quite potent. Alky up front and in yer face buddy. Thank you TT for this wake up call! Not impressed with impy stouts but if you are, try this mahfah.

Pale amber with a slight haze. Some apricot in the aroma. Mild beer with some fruit added. Does not really have any of those rude wheat ale attributes which leaves me to believe this is more like a wit or mild hefe. Well behaved, easy friendly. One of the better fruit beers I’ve had lately, civilized.

Slight PB aroma. Decent co2 on the tongue. Not really bitter but I think it may have some of that roasty porter feel in there fer sure. Easy fun friendly. Mild PB backbone on the tongue and its welcomed. Easy beer that also nicely finishes with peanut butter.

From the start I must warn you that this is most likely an imperial IPA or a double IPA. A lighter iced tea color. Very mild aroma but that’s all that can be said about its mildness. First taste is way over the top IPA bitter hops. Big bitter chewing on really green grapefruit peels mixed with spruce tar and fresh pine sap. Yes, IPA squared, rude nasty rototiller, terribly on style. Probably the strongest beer with the most personality they have on tap today. Look, I don’t care for IPA but if you do, you need to go after this. Flip my numbers if you like IPA. What else can be said?

Amber & clear. Yes, this is an IPA. Starts off rather mild then it evolves into that big bitter thang so common in the typical IPA. However, unlike many IPA that border on IIPA territory, this never really gets in yer face. Yes, perhaps more like a highly hopped APA. Quite nice lacing. Towards the finish it does leave a good hop bitter blast on the tongue. Leaves an impression. I’m not a fan of IPA but I found this to be a little less offensive than most.

Neutral aroma. For 7%, like its banana brother, this is so mild and easy going down, way too enjoyable for the alky content. Friendly black beer that never gets in your face. Tastes good. Good co2 as well, I liked this beer! Yummy

Big & black. Mild sweet banana aroma, not like hefe. Quite different for a stout. Mild easy going stuff. Yes it is a high alky at 7+% but you’d never know this approaches the strength of impy stout without looking at the numbers, fools you into thinking it more of mild black beer. Civilized, mannerly and fun to be with.

Amber with a big rocky head. Slight fruity hop aroma. Rather flat. Has a pretty good APA hoppy feel to this. At first, it borders between IPA and heavy APA then, tries to go into the big rude nasty bitter IPA character but never quite gets there. Yes, an IPA with a few manners, quite unheard of around these times.

A darker looking iced tea thing. Neutral aroma. Frist taste is lead with a bit more impact. Decent co2. Some detectable fruit. Not bad for an ale with some personality. Quite civilized on teh finish. One of the better amber ales I’ve had. You’d never know this is near 7%, be careful!

Not sure what we’re getting at here. Seems like a pale ale the is flavored with coffee.The stout effects are difficult to disern but the coffee is really there, even comes across a little peppery at times. Decent co2. Reminds a bit of a milder breakfast brew, but it is 6%!
