22 oz bottle poured, picked up during my visit to the brewery. Listed at 7.2%, 80 IBU. Wasn't planning on picking up any bottles during my brief visit, but while walking out the front door, I couldn't resist the cooler next to the exit full of these bombers priced for under $5 a bottle. I'll pay four bucks for a bomber of absolutely anything, especially some new IPA. A bright golden pour with a slight haze. A pine forward, citrus secondary hop filled aroma. Flavor is a good balance of bready malts and citrus fruit hops. Quite the refreshment with this. A solid, more classic IPA if you ask me. Enjoyed this.

Draught. Cereal aroma, rather like rusks. Pillowy off white head on dark amber body. Biscuit flavor with a German style hop keeping it from getting too sweet. Fruit in finish

Draft pour pint at Golden Valley, presented on nitro. Near black pour, thick cream. Drinks like chocolate milk. Smooth, creamy and delicious. Very interesting cocoa, toffee like aroma. Roasted malt, battling a subtle sweetness. Very tasty stout here.

Draught. Poured cloudy with a white head, looks like an unfiltered pils. Flavour is a little hop forward with malt sweetness. Quick vanishing finish.

On tap at The Beer Mongers, pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma brings out toasted malt, some dry caramel, whiskey barrels and earthy notes. Flavour is very smokey and peaty, with lots of wood, whiskey barrels, and peat upfront, followed by dry earthy bready notes. Dry caramel and peat on the finish. Nothing overly deep, but it works well.

On tap at the 16 HAF. Pours a black color with a small beige head. A big sweet vanilla coffee nose. The flavor is more coffee, vanilla, dark chocolates, quite nice. Not pulling much barrel, the coffee is so dominant.
