On tap at Structures - Holly, pours a deep dark mahogany, almost no head. Nose has plenty of dark dried fruits, caramel, and gentle bourbon. Flavour is quite boozy, bringing out a fair bit of brown sugar, alcoholic heat, not actually that much bourbon, and dark dried fruits. Nearly flat carb. Definitely some nice flavours here but somewhat lacking cohesion. Surprisingly unfocused for these two giants of breweries, but still good.

On tap at Structures - Holly, pours a clear copper with a small off-white head. Aroma has a nice piney hop character, dry bready malt, and a touch of citrus. Flavour is crisp, bright, and bitter, bringing out a ton of woody piney hops courtesy of the Chinook, backed by a dry bready malt base. Nice bitter, dry finish. Great WC hop expression. Excellent.

12oz @ Ryan's shared with Phill.
Aroma: caramel, dark fruits, some American oak.
Taste: along the same lines, quite boozy and more like on the thinner side.
Overall: it's pleasant enough, but not as great as Bertha or a Structutes/Horus collab.

Poured from bottle. Dark brown with dissipating light beige head. Nice dark fruit and bourbon notes, some prunes on the backend, a touch boozy, but enjoyable.

12oz @ 🏡 shared with Phill (thx for the beer!), Farees, Josh, and Ryan.
Aroma: American oak, bold, some sweetness, a bit fruity, a little bit of grassy notes (🤔).
Taste: along the same lines, moderately sweet, boozy, and slightly fruity, some burnt barrel.
Overall: quite good, but not as great as from the last year anniversary to my taste.

Black, no head, aroma has great umami, bourbon, with some dark sugars. Deep dark malt, stinging roast, light fruitiness. Great flavour, not super complex, but excellent.

12oz @ 🏡 shared with Phill (thx for the beer!), Farees, Josh, and Ryan.
Aroma: smells like a Belgian quad - a lot of Belgian esters, some oak, and creamy notes from oak. Hm... 🤔
Taste: a lot of caramel, toffee, dark fruits, moderately sweet, noticeable booze, some light bitterness
Overall: a bit weird mix of quad (65-70%) and barleywine (30-35%), enjoyable ((c) Ryan 🤪).

Light brown. Phenolic. It’s still got that estery, fruity. Loe carbonation. Some sugars, some barrel heat. This one’s a bit unfocused, quad-like. It’s decent but flawed. Aside from the heat, I’m not actually getting much barrel character.

16 oz can. Aroma is strong in coffee, very roasty, nutty. Pours opaque brown with a quickly collapsing beige head. Taste is lightly sweet with a nice coffee forward flavor. This is great.

Aromas and flavors are citrus with some malt and a little bit more sweet than bitter. Add in some malt and grain maybe some grass. Body is a touch thin and carbonation a bit soft. Drinkable but forgettable.
gave a cheers!
