330mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with light coconut chunks and a tiny head. Nose is loaded with toasted coconut, bourbon barrels, toffee, and molasses. Flavour is full of toasted coconut galore, followed by toasted caramel, bourbon, and molasses. That's a lot of coconut -- damn. Maybe not the most complex, but it's damn nice.

12 oz. bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a tiny head. Aroma is loaded with caramel, honey, vanilla beans, and plenty of bourbon. Flavour is rich and treacly, with intense honey, caramel, and vanilla, backed by lots of bourbon barrels. Boozy, sweet, and loads of caramelized honey on the finish. Monolithically honey-oriented, quite boozy and not particularly well-integrated. It's good but not Temporal's best work.

Medium-dark brown. Just a little head. The aroma is assertive on the bourbon and it's kicking off bubblegum and alcohol. On the palate, more alcohol, but it's absolutely dominating. The base beer lacks the body and residual sugars to cope. Not saying there's no sugar, just not enough for the power of the treatment. The flavour elements likewise struggle to compete. The barrel is just too much for the base, and the flavour elements don't seem to show up much at all. Love the idea but as with last year's Gold Foil, it leans too much into the barrel and not enough into the dessert part of the equation.

330mL bottle, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out leather, vanilla brandy barrels, dry caramel, and a touch of tobacco. Flavour is medium-heavy sweet, with tobacco, vanilla brandy barrels, caramel, and a touch of smokiness. Sweet but not cloying, with a nice complexity. Not really like Adam and much sweeter. It's solid.

Bottle sample at Farmhouse Fest 2022, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is full of rustic saison yeast, a touch of bugs, and earthy oak. Flavour is full of oak, buggy notes, and rustic saison yeast. Earthy, dry and oaky. Good stuff, but nothing overly special.

Bottle sample at Farmhouse Fest 2022, pours a cloudy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out faded stone fruits, some grainy notes, and light oak. Flavour is full of faded peaches, wild yeast, and a touch of oak. The peaches are nice, but a little faded. Solid.
