Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black with a thin cap of a khaki foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some concave lace
Aroma: sweet notes of coffee, roasty tones of coffee, balanced dose of maple syrup, some clean caramel notes, milk chocolate
Flavor: blends all the prior noted aromas together to the sweeter side but allows a nice flanking of some roasty tones to enter in; mild finish of coffee, maple syrup and some chocolate
Texture: between light and medium bodied; between sessionable and being a sipper; pretty darn smooth along the tongue - wow!
Overall: close to being a dessert stout but honestly I can see this as an oatmeal stout and would welcome this again.

Can to stange.
Appearance: glossy yellow with some transparency closer to the sides of the glass, two and a half fingers of white foamy head slipped off nicely to leave some light messy lace.
Aroma: lemon zest, coriander, sour-ed wheat, light notes of lime then a slight pop of salt
Flavor: mildly tart and sour up front with a subtle crisp zesty to semi-sweet tone underneath; quick finish of the sour-ed wheat with a brush of salt and lemon
Texture: light bodied, sessionable; appropriate smoothness along the tongue until the pop of the sour-ed wheat
Overall: as far as I know this is a very true to style Gose I woud very much welcome again; other than the lime which I guess that was a Barreled Souls thing to add and seemed to fit well

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: murky pink to violet thickness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some lace
Aroma: sweet and tart red raspberries, sweet cream & milk sugar
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together nicely in a sweet and tart sort of way; finishes with red raspberry sweet and tart qualities and the sweet cream
Texture: light to medium bodied, fairly sessionable, pretty smooth along the tongue, no tart harshness hitting the tongue too hard
Overall: I believe I need to try their cream ale just to gauge the level of how much cream is in that as this beer seems to not be the old - styled cream ales with lighter bodies. I didn't mind this beer for me.

Bottle share at Pien, Helsinki.
2025 version.
Poured pitch black in color, almost no head.
Strong woody, barrel aroma, light alcohol. Smooth, velvety mouthfeel , much lighter barrel notes in flavor. Vanilla and chocolate notes. No abv in flavor really.

Sweetish, smooth, intense barrel notes in the aroma, taste has some syrup, marshmallows, oak, stingy wood, bourbon, toffee and chocolate. Pretty intense but still smooth, sweetness hides the ABV surprisingly well. Tasty slow sipper

Bottle from the membership group, shared with Steve. Opaque, inky black with good viscosity, no head or lacing. Aroma is strong bourbon, sweet malts, slightly spicy. Taste is initial pleasant, mellow bourbon, latter half is more assertive, spicier bourbon along with alcohol heat (diminishes as it warms). Finish holds light dark fruit, and a vanilla sweetness that is akin to vanilla icing sweetness, perhaps mild cacao? Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation, dry finish as taste.
Overall, this is good and well executed. However, the two barrels seem to be accomplishing different things--Buffalo Trace a mellow, rich, soothing quality vs. the Knob Creek which is spicier and more energetic. Throw in the slight alcohol heat, which is mostly covered at 18%, and you have a different vibe than the first. Both are good in their own right but I don't love the multiple personality nature of it.
It seems to be getting better and better the longer I let it sit in my glass.
