A- Black color, black liquid, no head.
A- Dark chocolate fudge, mild bourbon, nutty.
F- Hazelnut, dark chocolate, faint rye, bourbon, faint sweetness, brownie batter.
T- Full body, thick texture, average carbonation, balanced finish.
O- This was about 7 years old thanks to Tavour but it still has held up nicely. Like a nutella brownie batter. Very very thick and almost chewy. Not too sweet thankfulyl and easy to drink a bomber on my own. Some barrel influence for sure but not too boozy. Nice rich dark chocolate flavors balanced with the nutty flavor. Not worth the price, but very tasty.

A- Golden orange color, hazy liquid, off white head.
A- Stewed apples, powder sugar, vanilla, vomit.
F- Baked apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, vanilla, pie crust.
T- Light body, average texture, medium carbonation, complex finish.
O- The nose was pretty awful with the aroma of my toddler's vomit. That did let up a little as it warmed but it was a pretty hardcore rotten apple/puke smell. The flavor however was much much more delightful. Started off at first sip a bit one dimensional of mostly cinnamon apple but as it lingered on the palate you got waves of caramel, graham cracker, vanilla, buttery pie crust. Really pretty nice. If the aroma was better this could be very solid.

A- Black color, black liquid, brown head.
A- Espresso, mocha, slightly sweet, faint vanilla, subtle whisky.
F- Mocha, dark chocolate fudge, light espresso bitterness, faint rye spice, faint sweetness.
T- Full body, slightly thick texture, average carbonation, complex finish.
O- Wow, this was outstanding. Honestly, nothing stands out and that's okay. It's well blended. Sure, I want loads of coffee notes or rye whisky notes, but the way this all worked together made for a beer that didn't remind you of the adjuncts as you drank it. Harmoniously well balanced. Nice.

A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, minimal fizzy head.
A- Caramel, toast, faint port, heathered honey.
F- Dried leaves, caramel, treacle, malty, faint peat, slightest charred bitterness.
T- Medium body, slightly thin texture, average carbonation, slightly oily finish.
O- The 12 was okay, the 16 was great, the 18 was outstanding, and then the 30 fell short. Little peat and pretty one dimensional. 5 years of age. Just didn't get much scotch influence in this one. Does get better as it warms.

F- Chocolate, maple, sweet, mild roast.
T- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly sweet finish.
O- Not enough porters in a stout filled world. This was tasty. That said a half can would've been good as it was rather sweet and did become slightly messy as it warmed. All in all, a fine beer in small doses.

A- Black color, black liquid, no head.
A- Chocolate, candied nuts, sugary.
F- Chocolate, bourbon, nutty, brown sugar, sweet.
T- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, rich finish.
O- No pecan which is what I expect from a praline, but every other nut in here. Not bad but certainly not the best variant. Drank pretty fresh. Definitely on the sweet side. Mostly chocolate. Half a bottle would've been enough here. Does get nuttier as it warms.

T- Light body, creamy texture, flat carbonation, milky finish.
O- More smoothie nonsense. I was hoping for an actual Berliner with some flavor. No, this was a smoothie.Taste was a bit unbalanced. Not terrible but disappointing.

A- Chocolate, bourbon, oak.
F- Chocolate, vanilla, sweet.
T- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, decadent finish.
O- I get bourbon on the nose but the rum sweetness on the palate. Not much banana if any. A bit sad there as I wanted a banana flavor up front supported by everything else. This was definitely mostly chocolate syrup and vanilla. A tad too sweet but still solid.

A- Pink color, clear liquid, light pink head.
A- Tart, oak, bright, cherry.
F- Acidic, tart, cherry, funky, oak.
T- Light body, average texture, medium high carbonation, tart finish.
O- No detectable bourbon barrel, just some generic oak. This was a year old. Could use a touch more cherry and definitely some bourbon influence. Rather sour and an average amount of funk. Good but not as complex as I'd hoped.
