On tap at Second Chance, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of earthy coffee grounds that meld with the piney hops in a way that's reminiscent of diacetyl. Flavour is a little better but still not harmonious, with earthy coffee grounds, subdued piney hops, and a crisp biscuity malt base. Not too happy with the addition of coffee in here. It's alright but not exactly well-calibrated.

Sample at the taproom. Clear bronze-orange color with a medium eggshell white head that diminishes gradually to an outer ring. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of coffee, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of roasted coffee, earthy hops and malt. The finish is roasty with a coffee and hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Thanks Justin for sharing the can! Poured into a tulip glass showing moderately filtered pale gold with sparse white foam. The nose shows moderately intense notes of cannabis mixed with coffee and pine. Very strange. The palate is medium bodied and moderately carbonated. Pine and coffee forward with roast coffee notes on the midpalate with a pine bitterness on the finish. The flavors come together in a jumbled mess. Not nice.

CBS vertical tasting @ Tim's. Pours clear orange, some red hue. Not much foam. Nose is full of coffee beans. Some fruity background. Taste has some bitterness coming out in taste at first, then coffee. Weird but maybe even works somehow. Finish is a bit harsh not like hop bitterness but coffee bean bitterness. Dry hoppy clean coffee-centered IPA.

Can, TTOD(U)RBSG17. Murky orange, white froth. Coffee and grapefruit aroma. Bittersweet flavour, grapefruit and more coffee. Nice combo. Very dry with lasting grapefruity bitterness.
