12.7 oz bottle. Aroma is coconut, cocoa, wood, vanilla, molasses. Pours very dark brown with a half finger beige head that falls into a ring immediately. Taste is bittersweet with flavors of coconut and dark chocolate. A lovely strong bitterness lingers long on the palate.

375 c&c from Tavour. Pours clear amber gold with a large beige head. Pie spice aroma. Med body with good carbonation. Flavor is veg and pie spice. Lightly sweet and fairly balanced by the pie spice. Cinnamon seems in the lead.

Draft at Hops & Bottles. Clear golden pour, small foamy head eventually recedes. Light fruity, hoppy aroma. Taste is grainy, malty with a layer of crisp, juicy hops that follow through to the finish.

16oz can from Boise Co-op. Foggy golden pour, small foamy white head fades to thick ring around the glass. Fruity aroma, light citrus, zesty notes. Taste turns over to mild tropical and stone fruit, with some light citrus zest lingering. Full bodied.

12.7 oz corked and caged bottle. Aroma is lemony, bready, chalky, B.O., pine. After gushing from the bottle a little bit, it pours hazy golden with a large pillowy cream-white head with excellent retention. Taste has a moderate (high for style) herbal hop bitterness backed by light bready malt sweetness and a subtle lemony flavor. Highly carbonated foamy mouthfeel.

2022. Amber-brown. No head.The aroma is woody, and there's some nice fruity depth. This has a rounded, raisiny sort of character. It's clean - doesn't have the heady notes of the 2024, and that makes all the difference. Really allows the sugars and fruitiness to shine through.

Amber-brown colour. No head. The aroma is kind of headsy, a touch of bubblegum. On the palate, it's got a boozy accent, the malt is a bit toffeeish but doesn't come together all that well. With a touch of warmth the esters blow off, which helps the sugars to come out, but it's boozy, a bit headsy. Kind of uncoordinated.

Poured from 375mL bottle (2022 vintage; side by side with 2024 vintage). Clear-ish amber brown with very minimal beige off white head. Soft caramel and toffee malt with feint oak (2024 has more of a charred wood). This one is a bit softer, also doesn't have the estery bubble gum of 2024. Prefer the 2022 overall.

Poured from 375mL bottle (2024 vintage; side by side with 2022 vintage). Clear-ish amber brown with very minimal off white head. 2024 has a fair bit more wood, some estery bubble gum notes, slightly harsh booziness, quite different than 2022. Prefer the softer nature of 2022 overall.
