473ml can. Pours a clear dark brown with red hue and a small, creamy, long lasting, tan head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla, oak and faint bourbon. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, butterscotch, vanilla, light oak and faint bourbon in a dry, boozy finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Probably should have aged this longer. The oak and bourbon notes were too subtle. A little thin for the style also. Good but not great.

Hazy yellow-amber. Not much head. The aroma shows some kettle sour base, with some brighter tropical fruits, though they almost come across as being overripe. It's fairly tart, in a yoghurty sort of way, with a floral and tropical note - honey florals and tropical fruits ranging from lychee to mango. It seems like the base sour is just okay, not ideal, but that the hop treatment is actually quite nice.

Hazy, if dull, blonde colour. Big frothy head. Smells sourish and orangey. Has a soft malty accent, then a big hit of orange. There's a little bit of bitterness in the finish. Maybe a touch of fruitiness. I guess it does what it's supposed to do.

473mL can, pours a cloudy golden with a medium white head. Nose brings out stewed pears, some piney hops, and bready malt. Flavour is a bit boozy, with stewed pears, hop resins, sweet caramel, and bready malt. It's a bit boozy, sweet and chaotic, but there's some nice resinous hops and fruitiness here. No masterpiece DIPA, but better than the hater below me says.
