Pours a pitch, oily black. Aroma of bourbon, flat malt. Taste has boozy feel, lots of bourbon on the nose, some dry banana notes. Palate has more booze, some bitterness, oily note that lingers on the back of the throat.

Can pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's an opaque, dirty light brown with no sparkle, a few white floaties, finger-width off-white head with fair retention and nice lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, grapefruit and hint of herb. Taste follows aroma but no herb but addition of grain. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with thick texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, nice and juicy. Not super complex but good strength.

Pours a pale amber with visible sediment on the bottom. Aroma of tangerine, peaches. Taste has much of the same, mild hop bite along with the fruity note. Palate has more stone fruit, dry peach notes. Good.

Pours amber with a fluffy white head. Aroma of vanilla, creme, malt. Taste has light spice, nutmeg, some vanilla, along with a light hop accent to the malt. Vanilla is more evident on the nose, slightly sweet malt. Good.

Pours hazy amber with a fluffy white head. Aroma of grassy malt, hops. Taste has woody notes on the malt, vine must, some hop flowers, floral. Palate has intense woody notes on the nose, cedar, mild dry resin on the tongue. Bizarre but good.

A bit disappointing. Thin body, a bit acidic. At least low bitterness but lacking any depth and complexity. Possibly hurt by time. Sk adventkal
