Tap. Pours medium golden clear with a medium white head and nice lacing. Aroma is grainy with citrus notes. Flavor is the same, lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Light bodied. Not bad; I can see why it is billed as a "gateway" beer, but not really for me.

9.2
Appearance - 10 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 9 | Texture - 10 | Overall - 9

Tap. Pours hazy golden buttery amber with a small white head that dissipates with nice lacing. Aroma is citrus, pine, tropical fruit and a bit of cat piss. Flavor is the same, lightly sweet, lightly bitter extending through the finish. Lightish body, somewhat oily. Rerate after several bottles - this beer is pretty amazing actually. Who thought somebody could out do Zombie Dust, but TG has done it. Yum!

8.4
Appearance - 10 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8.5

Tap. Pours completely cloudy yellow amber with a small white head that leaves great lacing. Aroma is passionfruit, cat piss, citrus/grapefruit. Flavor about the same, lightly sweet, medium bitter, with a bit of a yeast note. Medium bodied and quite tasty, but I like Nelson Sauvin hops...

9.8
Appearance - 10 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 10 | Texture - 10 | Overall - 10

Tap. Holy sh*t this is good. Pours opaque black with a medium deep brown head, creamy, some lacing. Aroma is chocolate, dark roasted malt, bourbon, coffee, quite intoxicating. Flavor its even better, quite sweet but not cloying, light coffee bitterness, wonderful balance between the bourbon and stout flavors, and completely masks its huge ABV even through the finish. Full bodied and silky.
