dark brown, almost black, brown head with various kinds of brown and light brown streaks.
aroma is coconut chocolate and bourbon and wood, roasted malts. was i blind tasting this i would've guess borbon BA imp stout. rich, deep and complex aroma, does not come off as artificial but rather as quality aroma derived from quality ingredients. very very faint cellary almost oxidized notes. it's 2026 so 5+ years in the bottle probably - but overall fresher than a macro stored half a year.
flavor is booze, licorice, bourbon, chocolate, coffee like notes, barley wine malty note. by flavor i would definetly put this in "dark barley wine" category, not BA bourbon imp stout. This is a very complex and powerful dark barleywine. also notes of dried dark fruits. cinnamon, aftertaste is lingering and multi faceted.

What a beer. one of the best dark bw i've had, and i've been around.

clear pale yellow, same color as a pale cider, white head.
strong peaches aroma, dominated by an artificial ish flowery peaches note, so strong everything else drowns out. perhaps some alc. and leather in there.
flavor is peaches, neutral dry lager notes, somewhat refreshing but imho quality wise similar to flavored industrial macro lagers so really nothing to see here. Not bad. Well produced. Just not very interesting either.

almost clear pale yellow, smooth small white head
mild mineral watery crisp aroma with hints of hop-herbal and flowery hops. resiny notes too. so both crisp and refreshing and hinting at bittersweet.
flavor is crisp refreshing, slightly herbal and flowery hoppy, malts are really crisp and almost lager like, extremely refreshing and chuggable and not at all exotic fruity bittersweet as one might fear.

very hazy dark yellow , smooth yelow head
fat fullbodied hoppy aroma, herbal hops, juicy citrus fruity hops, exotic fruity hops. very pleasant, blended, smooth, strong balanced aroma. neutral to sweetish malts. not crisp. solid.
velvety body, soft, flavor is smooth, balanced, lots of body, lots of hops both citrus fruity and hop herbal but mostly real traditional ipa hop flavor and a ton of sweet malts to balance. the sweet exotic hops are expertly boxed in by sweet malts, super solid body and real bitter-hoppy hop-herbal hops flavors. amazing hazy TIPA so balanced. so solid. so not cloying.
I'm having this from the fridge. I am confident that it is best cold.

cloudy yellow, smooth small offwhite head
refreshing aroma, crisp malty, also sweet white bready and herbal hoppy with citrus fruity notes.
according to label here the beer is not flavoured ipa, just an ordinary ipa.
aroma has notes that are almost similar to crips lager. very crisp and refreshing and mineral watery.
flavor is nutty malty, slightly caramelly, bitter hoppy ending - a bit tasteless and metallic but also a nicer more hop herbal note. several hops used? - end is relatively short and not that bitter, but just enough bitter to make it quenching with assistance of the very crisp mineral watery body and the not so sweet malts. tiny bit of caramel is not helping the overall picture.

Not sure if this is the correct beer entry. Beer details:
blue wax, by Imprint, collab with mortals brewing. 13.5% 2026 on label,
Toasted coconut, jamaican blue mountain coffee beans & equadorian cacao nibs, rested 18 months on bourbon barrels.
my rating:
pitch black, brown to light brown small head that stays a while but disappears.
aroma of vanilla, coconut, chocolate. faint alc burn, those notes are close to bourbon notes so pretty hard to tell if it's from bourbon or from the stuff added to the beer, or both. slightly boozy in the aroma. quite strong vanilla like sweetness. chocolate cake. any coffee and roasted malts in the aroma are somewhat hidden away.
flavor is better. smooth roasted malts, coffe, chocolate, bourbon, faint licorice, alc. burns in the mouth, end is bourbon and chocolate and vanilla and coffee and roasted malts. a tiny bit too pastry and too little imp stouty to really nail it, but a decent ba imp stout anyways - it's full bodied and sort of complex, although i could really use some more coffee and roasted malts. not much trace of 18 months of barrelling, the bourbon yes, but wood - not much. it is very velvety and soft. layered. complex. that's a plus. good balance also.

pale hazy yellow, offwhite smooth head with a yellow hue
dry and citrussy hoppy aroma, citrussy and hop-herbal full bodied hops, malts are very crisp and only very slightly sweet, if swete at all. also not overly malty malty. but super crisp. the neutral malts really showcases the hops, which are flavorful and strong.
flavor is bitter hoppy, neutral but crisp malty, tastes like a session ipa, but have a bit more body and alc. bitterness. a bit weird with the 6.5% as the beer seems to work better if seen as a quenching refreshing session ipa. the higher alc. is more or less just in the way.

Flavor is sweet malty, hop and alc bitter lots of exotic fruits, even coconut, good far hop herbal bitterness to balance. Alc well used and hidden , a bit over the top but a delicious tipa
