Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear dark brown with a finger of beige head. Chocolate and coffee aromas on the nose. Palate is similar, nice balance between both with a mildly dry finish. Enjoyable!

2021 bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a dark brown to black with a finger of beige head that lingers. Lovely aromas of toffee, molasses and black sugar. Bourbon and vanilla as it warms. Palate is very similar. Very drinkable for the ABV with lots of depth from the bourbon barrels. Very enjoyable.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a dark caramel color with a full two fingers of off white head that lingers. Sweet malt, toasted molasses and light herbal hops on the nose. A bit sweet for me, but enjoyable enough.

Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a unclear orange gold with a finger fo white foam that dissipates. Nice lacing down the glass. Some light gooseberry, crackery malt and orange zest aromas. Slightly skunky on the palate with not much hop character at all....maybe some oxidation, sharp bitterness and lingering resin. Not that good.

12 oz bottle. A golden pour, clear except for the occasional small particle, with a white head. Toasty pale malt aroma with a bit of hoppiness. Leads in with some of the Nelson Sauvin hop flavors, into biscuity, toasty pale malt flavor with some tea-like hoppiness, light bitterness. Nothing too exciting, but it's pretty good.

12 ounce bottle from Keweenaw Coop, 6/27/20. Hazy amber, large tan head, good retention. Aroma of buttery malts and a bit of pepper. Taste is tart fruits and diacetyl. Thin. Gross. About what I expected.
