Pours smoothly, black with a thin creme head. Aroma of coffee beans. Taste has mild bitterness, rich malt base. Palate has oily mouthfeel with hints on the nose, typical of a nitro.

16oz can. Aroma is light chocolate, roast, whiskey. The body is good and demonstrate some roast. Chocolate, tobacco, roast and the mildest Touch of Jim Beam in the finish. Body is correct for the style.

Pours deep clear mahogany into a shaker. Mocha head with good retention recedes leaving scant sheets. Toasted sourdough and chocolate aromas. Medium bodied with dark caramel and chocolate upfront turning to hot dark espresso in the lasting finish. Becomes cloying as it warms.

Can. Interesting experiment with saison yeast and bolder hop profile. The yeast is somewhat shown through the hops. Has a slight juicy character but also a Belgian slight funk note to it. Is it totally cohesive? You can be the judge.

Can. This is precisely what the brewer says it is. Flavor starts with tangerine followed by pomegranate and ends on mild grass notes. Very juicy with no bitterness. Lots of fruit fruit purée but it certainly does taste good.

5 oz. draft. Extremely light and clean. Mild grapefruit, lemon, and a crisp texture. For only 2% this is kind of a thing of beauty.

Draft sample. Flavor shows huge dark fruits (raisins / fig/ dates), Some sticky caramel, and pine like hops to balance the malt. Alcohol is somewhat hidden. Good for such a young barleywine. This is bold.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from the brewery. Appearance is cloudy dark yellow with orange tinge, lots of effervescent sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-plus width white light foamy head with good retention and light soapy lacing. Aroma is mix of lemon and orange citrus along with pineapple and coconut. Taste is pineapple, coconut with some mildly astringent tart citrus for balance. Palate is medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, I wish it had nixed the mild tart aspect and just gone full-on juice! Feels bigger than 5.5%
