Bottle from Carton, via delivery, 2/7/22. Pours a very dark brown-black color with a medium brown head. Rich, dark roast, booze and wood heavy, unsweet chocolate, and some nuttiness. Drinks rather dry for the style. Definitely a tasty beer. The adjunct are done in a pretty subtle way, I would have guessed it was non-adjuncted, and that the flavors came from the malt. This is a rich, boozy beer, that pegs to be slowly sipped. Curious to see how this one ages, and since Carton sell the OWC beers in these 3-packs, I most certainly will.

12 oz can from Carton delivery, 2/1/22. Unclear orange, off white head, moderate lace. Sweet coffee, vanilla, and a bit of tropical fruit. Booze and wood. Lightly earthy as well. Very sweet and quite boozy. Pretty good overall.

12 oz can from Carton delivery, 1/19/22. Hazy golden color with a white head and heavy lace. Coffee, vanilla, and some cinnamon. Not as much cinnamon as I expected. Drinks on the boozy side. Something just feels a little unrefined for me, but I can't quite figure out what is causing that. I'd have expected to like this to be right up my alley, but something about it didn't quite work. It is still good though.

500 ml bottle from Carton, via delivery, 1/19/22. Been wanting to trying this one for a minute, and finally got around getting some bottles delivered from Atlantic Highlands to my house. It pours a mostly clear golden color with a bright white head and some fairly strong, streaky lace. Yeasty and lightly funky, with a good bit of pepper, pear, lemon, and a little grass. Drinks clean and lively. Crisp and refreshing. If this is the OWC version of Boat (crushable as fuck flagship for the other side of Carton), they won't get any complaints from me.

16 oz can from Carton delivery, 1/16/22. Hazy yellowish color, white head. Sweet, somewhat fruity hop aroma and flavor. Definitely had a candied sugar thing. Somewhat sticky feel. Not bad, not my thing.

12 oz can from Carton delivery, 1/15/22. Canned 1/1/22. Pours darker orange, creamy beige head. Sweet coffee, orange, and vanilla. Drinks cranny and smooth. Really hides the ABV super well. A little gimmicky, but for 2022, not very gimmicky at all.

16 oz can from Carton, 1.13.22. Pours a mostly clear golden color with a fizzy white head and a bubbly body. Doesn't leave much, if any, lace on the glass. Clean, smoked malt aroma. Some fruity notes. Clean grains. A fairly simple beer with a bunch of flavor. Drinks great. I should have gotten more than one 4-pack.
