Aroma is strong roasted malt with lighter earthy quality, vanilla, dark fruit. Taste is strong earthy, roasted malt, vanilla and chocolate with late dark fruit. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation and crisp finish as taste. Overall, more complexity and better than I was expecting.

Wichita Saison In The Abyss
Pour is a cloudy gold with a small white head. Aroma is a bit of white wine and sour fruit. Flavor is again a little white wine with some sour lemon. FInish I get a bit of oak. It does not say this was aged on wood but that's what I'm getting after the swallow. If there was a category for a saison lite this would fit the bill.

Wichita Odin's Power
Interesting spicy red ale aroma, hoppy and malty at the same time. Light red color, off white head. Tastes more on the IPA side with some heft and a creamy finish reminiscent of a red ale. This was unique; I didn't know red IPAs were a thing.

Wichita Mad Scientist New England Style Double India Pale Ale
No dating on the can. It pours a cloudy orange yellow with a massive head of foam with plenty of lacing. I get a sweetish aroma of tropical fruit, mango, pineapple, tempered with some dank notes, some bitterness. The taste is kinda bitter from the tropical fruit as well as sweet, orange zest, definite dry hopped flavours. Dank and again, not an easy drinker, not attributable to the abv. Medium bodied, mouthfeel is sort of harsh on my palate. Nah. I wish I had the chance to only get 1 can. Not for me.
