A pour from the bottle on Black Christmas V. Pours a very dark brown with a beige head. Bourbony, fruity. Nice.

Bottle - Barrel and some cocoa. Deep jet brown with a small light brown head. Toasty bread and some light bitterness.
Super vanilla thickness, cocoa nibs, ice cream beer. No abv notes at all, at 13% that's crazy.
On draft at Rebel Republic Las Vegas. On Nitro. Almost Black with light brown head. Sweet, coffee.

Can. Aroma of malt, caramel and cream. Taste has malty caramel, herbal pine and grassy hop. Tastes old, Nevada is a bit lacking in the craft game.

Can at PKWY Marks. Hazy amber pour with thick fluffy head. Looks great. Faint fruity aroma, oranges. Taste is very subdued as well, light citrus and malt. Kind of weak, leaning towards watery. Hoping g my next Nevada beer is better, 0 for 2 tonight.

Draft at Great Basin, Reno. Pours a pale yellow color with a light haze. Aroma is distinctly witbier with minimal fruitiness. As far as flavor goes, the mango provides a soothing, soft fruity play with the Belgian yeast and esters, but it is in a moderate dose. Just like the Grapefruit First Chair it seems the fruit was cautiously added and it definitely doesn’t take over. More mango please.

Draft at Great Basin, Reno. Pours a reddish purple color with a fluff of white head. Lots of fresh and tart raspberries in the nose, the same in the taste. Really quite full of raspberries, sweet and tart. I suppose it is pretty one-dimensional, but it is well done and overall a tasty beer. Broke up the flight nicely.

Draft at Great Basin, Reno. Labeled as the Bavarian Helles. Yellow pour with a small white head. Aroma is light grass and cereal grains, a little bit of spicy florals. Tastes grassy with mild malty bits and a little bit of dirty florals… overall on the sweet side with no real bitterness to speak of.

Draft at Great Basin, Reno. Bold yellow color with a small white head. Aroma is mild and fresh with the chili peppers and hints of heat. Really clean and fresh pepper flavors. Seems like a good chili pepper beer to me has a bell pepper taste… this one has it too. Light heat, but it lets you know its there. One of the better chili beers I’ve tried for sure.
