Bottle courtesy of beerandblues2, thanks! Barrel aged. Clear dark maroon, white edge head, barrel aged. Taste is subtle bourbon and sweet chocolate, barrel aged, of course. Taste is better because it’s barrel aged.

Bottle shared at the 6th annual Richmond Industry Gathering, 11/27/11. Pours a hazy dark copper color with a medium sized offwhite head. Decent head retention. Aroma of toffee, nutty notes, caramel and herbal notes. The taste is herbal, roasty with chocolate notes. Medium bodied. Not much hint of the bourbon here, but it definitely stated so on the label.

Sampled at the DC Ratebeer Gathering. Pours a transparent, brick red with a little cloudy white head. Nose has plenty of barrel, cane sugar, rum, cherries, caramel, sherry, some rose water. Flavor is sweet, caramel, vanilla, raisins, malty, a little apple, almost a brandy flavor, a little coconut. Full bodied, smooth, sweet finish.

Different name, but the barman assured me this was the New Old Lompoc Saison revived. Orange yellow pour with thick white head. Spicy aroma. Flavour is very citrusy and hoppy like an IPA. Hop finish

Draught. Rather better than some other Imperial Pilseners/Strong Lagers. Fruity aroma. Flavour is malt with more fruit. Mango and jackfruit finish. It did need more hop. BTW, I had this at Hawthorne Hophouse’s 15th Avenue location. But they don’t seem to have an official name yet.

Sampled on tap at PIB, pours orangey amber with a small head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, candied sugar - sort of like a barley wine. Flavour of dark fruits, toffee / caramel, again like a barley wine, with a nice texture. Nice, but a biz boozy.

Bottled 0,65l (bought from Portland)
Deep red color, small off-white head. Caramelly, bready aroma. Medium-bodied, soft palate. Front is caramelly, then some toasted, ryeish maltyness. Finish has some hops and alcohol. Decent "Imperial Red" (err... working class red I mean).

Draft at Fifth Quadrant. This one was very malty for an IPA. Tasty, but very malty.
