500 ml bottle from Costco. Pours a dark brown toffee color with a medium tan head. A big sweet nose, huge caramel, berries, toffee. Very similar flavor, sweet bourbon, heat, some light smoke. Very sweet, boozy, lovely. Light dark chocolate, caramel. Awesome.

Draught. Amber pour with white head. Almost no aroma, just a pleasant maltiness. Taste made up for that with full body and a nice edge.

12 oz can poured, picked up at Hop and Hound. One of the more recent breweries to show up in the Seattle area. Not a bad cream ale here. In a style that I find to be bland and boring, I found this to be more so refreshing and enjoyable. At least as much as one really can be. Clean golden orange pour moderately sweet cream flavor, medium body. No problems with this brew for me. Enjoyed this.

Short pour at Bailey’s. Rich golden body, tight, cap of creamy head. Grainy aroma, sourdough, yeast. Taste too brings some sweet malts forward. Nice creamy body, mouthfeel follows, rich. Always a pleasure when bock season rolls around.
