6.6/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Poured from 568mL can. Yellow gold with dissipating white head. I suppose this is as best as you could expect from the concept (but a little bit worse considering the abv). Lime, very feint vanilla, a sort of crumble quality, effervescent. Leans pretty heavy on the acidic lime notes. Above average novelty beer.

8.1/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Feb 13, 2026 (8/4/8/4/17=4.1): Poured from 355mL can. Near black with dissipating tan head. Nose is bourbon forward. Taste is bourbon with feint toasted coconut and char, light molasses. This can is more bourbon, less coconut and stroopwaffel than 2.5 months prior on tap. Enjoyable and balanced, rounding up to 4.1 this time.

Nov 30, 2025 (8/4/8/4/16=4.0): Poured from the tap @ Twin Sails. Very dark brown with very minimal beige head. Nice toasted coconut with a light stroopwaffel like quality, feint background barrel character, a touch boozy on the finish. Almost want to give this a 4.1, but it's just shy of rounding up.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 27/11/2025). Medium-dark brown with small light beige head. Earthy toasted nuts, clean brown ale. Prefer Deadfall Basal Brown slightly for a better balance in BC brown ales, but solid for the style.

Poured from 568mL can. Hazed gold with white head. Melange of mild generic tropical and stone fruit hops, touch of booze, nothing really dialed in, but inoffensive.
