Dark amber, no head, big rye aroma, toasty, lots of bitterness, well-balanced. Excellent.

Pale gold, has a grassy note, light sulphur, it’s okay but needs more pale malt.

Pale malt, light bitterness, sort of husky, basic lager, even though it's billed as being something hoppier.

Medium brown, bright, medium head. Good base, a nice strong brown that’s got some good fruitiness and nice sugars. The rye barrel lends heft, but also a bit of that spiciness. Solid.

Dark brown. Boozy, a bit rough, has a barley wineish sort of fruitiness to it, complementing the dark malts. Refined for a BBB, but not actually all that refined. Decent base, though.

Dark brown. No head. Coffee, vanilla, good body, light sugars, soft. Not bad, a coffee stoutish sort of thing. A lot going on. The rum and brandy barrels lighten this up a fair bit to the point where I wouldn't have been surprised if there was barley wine in here.

Dark brown, sticky sugars, light fruitiness, maybe cherry, dried apricot, soft body, layers of complexity, kind of an old ale vibe, good fruitiness.

Dark brown, dark red highlights. Thin head. Cocoa, some booziness as well. Kind of inchoate, a bit too dry and not complex enough. It’s decent but that’s about it.

Slight haze, pale, medium head. Medium bitterness, nice amarillo, bit of Simcoe, solid hop expression here.
