I am a beer aficionado and love all varieties of this liquid goodness. I was an admin on Ratebeer under the same username, but previously known as "HuskerTan". Same username on Untappd.

Bottle.

A- Copper color, slightly hazy liquid, no head.

A- Mile juniper berry, lemon, funk, oak, mild caramel, subtle wet hay.

F- Oak, lemon, Brett funk, mild juniper, earl grey tea, subtle gin barrel.

T- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, tangy finish.

O- I am so curious what age would do as I drank this super fresh. Definitely get the earl grey bergamot flavor. This was a solid lambic that would hold it's own against the big names of the style. Surprised and delighted with this one.

A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, light brown head.

A- Roasty, cocoa, earthy, burnt coffee.

F- Roasty, slightly vegetal, earthy, dry, cocoa.

T- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, roasty finish.

O- Been a want list beer of mine for some time but it didn't live up to the hype. Maybe 10 years ago, but now not so much. It needed more smoke and more coffee. Maybe the imperial version would be better. Not bad but not worth getting excited for.

Can.

A- Yellow color, clear liquid, white head.

A- Weak, grains, lime.

F- Lime, cucumber, tangy, grains.

T- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly tangy finish.

O- Not great. For Crooked Stave I expected more. This was light in aroma and flavor. Just some plain lime juice and cucumber skin flavors. Actually got better as it warmed. Meh.

Bottle.

A- Black color, opaque liquid, minimal brown head.

A- Chocolate sauce, toasted coconut, ginger.

F- Coconut, chocolate, sweet, light ginger.

T- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, sweet finish.

O- Lots of chocolate dipped coconut candies. I honestly never get tired of BCBS and they always seem to meet expectations. A bit sweet but nice. This one had a year of age on it. Flavors were great.

Can.

A- Brown color, slightly opaque liquid, light brown head.

A- Smoke, cocoa, roasty.

F- Smoke, char, cocoa.

T- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, smoky finish.

O- The smoke was definitely more forward that I expected. More like a rauch than a stout, in fact, I wanted a stout that had a hint of smoke. The abv needs jacked up on this one. Decent.

Bottle.

A- Black color, opaque liquid, brown head.

A- Oak, whisky, chocolate.

F- Oak, booze, green apple.

T- Full body, thick texture, average carbonation, tangy finish.

O- Afraid this was infected and a bad bottle. Wonder if Tavour had any idea or others got bad bottles. Maybe it was the age or storage, not sure, but not getting all the great notes others seem to taste which is a massive bummer considering the price. But not totally undrinkable.
