12oz bottle. Pours a clear dark brown with a minimal head. Clean caramel malts, a bit of toffee, some piney character even though it isn't hoppy. Flavour has tons of clean caramel, a surprising amount of bitter pine after all this eisbocking. Tons of bitterness, nice hop character, and solid malts. Maybe the 18% is getting to me, but this is great. The more I drink of this, the more I appreciate, this turned out fantastic. The bitterness is so intense, but balances with the rest so wel.

12 oz bottle. Pours a murky blond with a small white head. Yeast, soggy malts, and dead grass on the nose. Flavour is very seltzery, pale malts, soggy grass. A pretty sad lager.

500mL bottle. Pours very dark brown with a minimal white head. Tons of graham cracker, marshmallow, and milk chocolate on the nose. Flavour has harsh booze up front, marshmallow, graham cracker. There's a lot of artificial sugars and the boozy barrel character is very harsh. I'm not a fan.

750mL bottle. Pours a murky dirty yellow/blonde with a small white head. Loads of musty barrels, leather, some mildew, and vinous grape skins on the nose. Flavour has plenty of musty, mildew, and leather; a nice vinous character. Maybe a touch of phenols, but not really affecting the overal quality of the beer. Very nice, but not at their peak.

750mL bottle. Pours a murky, slighly rose blonde with a minimal head. Musty wood, a touch of mildew, and plenty of strawberry character. Flavour has much more of the old wood and mildew coming through, quite dry, still some of that strawberry character, though perhaps a bit fermented out. Very nice, I like the dryness, and the strawberry character is a good complement.

500mL bottle. Pours a murky brown with a small white head. Sticky toffee, dried fruits, and a touch of spicy Belgian yeast on the nose. Flavour has a spicy, very slightly phenolic, Belgian yeast character, sticky toffee, some burnt sugars, dried fruits. Carbonation is maybe a tad low. Not on mark for a proper quad, but overall I like it.

750mL bottle. Pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Nice rustic yeast, chamomile and some grassy herbal qualities on the nose. Flavour has chamomile, rustic yeast, a bit peppery, floral grass, a touch of honey. Very nice, good level of complexity for a low ABV beer.

500mL bottle. Pours nearly black with no head. Coffee beans, toasted malts, and plenty of bourbon barrels on the nose; a bit of that green pepper character, but not much. Flavour has plenty of bourbon barrels up front, loads of dark sugars, toffee, a bit of char, some coffee. Body is maybe a touch too heavy, but otherwise this is excellent.
