Bottle shared at CB. Thanks Chris! Pours a deep brown to light black with a full finger of beige foam. Maple, cinnamon, cacao nib and candied ginger on the nose. Tons of cinnamon and candied ginger on the palate. Full, rich and decadent body on the palate. With lots of dark milk chocolate and cacao nib notes. Smooth with a lot of gingerbread, chocolate and spiced oak on the finish. Awesome! My favorite of the 2018 releases.

Bottle shared at CB. Pours a deep brown with a finger of beige head that dissipates almost instantly. Huge cherry forward aromas with cacao nib, almond and vanilla aromas. More cherries and cream on the palate. Smooth and good cherry, oak and vanilla forward flavors, but way too thin for the style. I mean really thin. Lingering tart cherry, vanilla cream and cacao nib on the finish.

Draught at EBF: pours not totally clear golden with a white head. Aroma is fruity and tropical stuff blah. Taste is sweet and low bitter. A bit sticky. Solid. Not a NEIPA, which is strange for a quadruple dry hopped beer.

Draught at EBF: pours orange pink with small head. Aroma is hefty bit of guava and I suppose dragonfruit. Taste is light sour. Fruitiness and pretty modest at that. Nice little finish.

4 oz. draft EBF, 2019. Saturday night session. Flavor has a bold amount of guava and passionfruit. Tartness is light and lingering in the finish. Some yogurt hints. Exactly what you be looking for in the style.
