Poured from 1 pint 6 fl oz bottle. Hazy copper orange with beige head. Bready caramel malt with mild piney hops and a bit of dankness. Very lacklustre. Wonder if the MK licensing will pay off from a marketing perspective to sell this junky DIPA.

22 oz bottle, gifted by luttonm. Thanks! Imperial Stout, awesome. Vanilla, awesome. Chilies, AWESOME! Quite a treat here. A midnight black pour, with a ton of rocky dark brown foam head. Aroma is full of green chilies, a slight coffee as well. Flavor is a ton of creamy milk chocolate, a good amount of expected vanilla. Smooth and flavorful. The pepper leaves a cinnamon like spice. Pepper flavor more than heat, but this does have a punch to it. Incredibly interesting beer here.

Dark brown. No head, maybe a couple of bubbles. There is a lot of vanilla on the nose with this one...and a little bit of sweet milk chocolate. Some nice chocolate, sweet, then gets a bit bitter late. The chiles are in the background, and you especially get an earthy chile taste late, kind of like cascabel.

Black with a tan head. Clean profile with light roasted malt, chocolate, some booze, cocoa. Clean finish with some lingering roasted malt. Medium bodied. A very nice baltic.

On tap at Elizabeth Station, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out toasted malt and herbal yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with juicy herbal yeast and some light fruity floral esters. Fruity finish. Inauthentic saison but it's decent.

Another one thanks to Donnie. Some roast, dark chocolate. Pours black with decent head and lacing. Pours black and oily like Exxon Mobile spill beaches. Bottle.

A little pepper, some florals. Pours golden with good head and lacing. Pretty good balance. Saison is more go-to than my favourite mortal kombat character. Bottle thanks to GenDV138.
