On tap at Chuck's Hop Shop - Greenwood, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with fresh piney hops, resinous hop oils, and just enough sweet malt to balance. Flavour is oily, with lots of robust resinous hop oils, a strong pine character, and crisp, lightly sweet biscuity malt back. Beautifully balanced; it's forceful in the piney and resinous hops, has an ample malt backbone, yet it's all that bitter on the finish. Really great.

22 oz bottle from Tavour, 2/17/20. Dark brown-black color, with a thick, creamy foam of brown head that leaves strong lacework on the glass. Strongly dry, roasted coffee aroma and flavor. Licorice, anise, and a little dark chocolate. Drinks full bodied, fairly bitter, and a little boozy. Pretty nice example of big, boozy adjunct-free Imperial Stout. Old Schoolhouse seems about right, because this is definitely an old school RIS (and I mean that in a good way). 7/5/8/4/15

650 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with moderate tan head. Aromas of creamy chocolate, spice, and roasted malts. Flavors of creamy coffee, bitter dark chocolate, grass, alcohol and dry roasted malts. Acidic bitter finish. IBU should be high but too much hops distracts.

Draft pour pint enjoyed at Hop and Hound. A lighter, cleaner golden orange pour. Earthy grains, grassy hop nose. Flavor agrees, bold malt, almost spicy in the grain department. A slightly thicker body here, orange peel like bitterness. Classic IPA here. Quite tasty.

On draught at Brouwer's Cafe. Brown-black color with a medium tan head that diminishes quickly to a dense film. Small patches of lace. Roast malt, coffee and chocolate in the nose. Light to medium body with flavors of roasted coffee, smokey malt and bittersweet chocolate. The finish is roasty with a coffee aftertaste. Decent overall.
