A big BIG beer. My first Eisbock in a long while. Might as well make it a 14.5% Imperial! That's a sweet syrupy brew. Almost like an ice wine in flavour and mouthfeel. The booze factor is big too! It would make a great meal beer.

Speaking of bush pilots. If you have 10-20 of these laying around after a plane crash in the wilderness you’ll be just fine. The beers help loosen the mood during the long nights awaiting rescue, and make the tiny woodland creatures a little sexier. 😉

Toffee, nuts, Christmas cake. Raisiny like a butter tart. A bit sticky on the finish. But yeah it’s 14.5%. Very sad not to see this beer - or any Bush Pilot releases - come back. Every one was good. And Ontario is awash in mediocrity.

Found this 2014 vintage stashed away. Super smooth, very interesting flavours

Bought this in 2014. Just seeing the best before date is January 2016. Time to drink it I guess! Still tasty, even lots of carbonation.

Aged in Armangnac barrel, this brew is very alcohol heavy. It is more maltier than hoppy. I stored this for a few years. Best before o3-2020

Aged to excellence. Tastes like dark chocolate and dried fruits. Very syrupy, in a pleasant way

4+ years old & still boozy as hell. But there’s also notes of caramel, dark fruit, brandy & port, and more. Just a touch past it’s prime.

Pretty intense, quite sweet but also pretty tasty. It's been aging for a few years at this point. Lot of caramel and a little boozy heat.

Wow, this is an interesting shade of red now. Still tons of character and a dry wood finish. Bottle says BB Jan. 2016. I love proving those dates wrong. Stormy Monday would have been more appropriate (by name) even though it’s Tuesday. My last bottle.
