Draft at Bay Street Biergarten, orange straw murky. Faint banana and clove aroma. Sweet banana taste, with even sweeter finish.

Super hazy golden and light copper coloured body with a thinnish off-white head. Aroma of super dank and pungent yeast, hops, resin, pine and a ton of syrupy notes - quite strong throughout with a lot of sugar and even more alcohol. Full-bodied; Rich soapy flavour at first that shows some yeast, a ton of syrup from caster sugar and almost a pure corn syrup flavour with a lot of resinous hops showing some dank pine notes and ending with a dash of funk and earth from the malt near the very end. Aftertaste shows a lot of piney hops, some substantive malt body and depth with the most amount of syrup, resin and alcohol that I could possibly imagine all wrapped into this one, which tastes almost more of cough syrup than it does Imperial IPA. Overall, a pungent and deep beer with a lot of flavours, some of them decent, and some of them a bit too strong for the style and for the content of this one - nice to try, but within this style, definitely passable. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Greenville Beer Exchange in Greenville, South Carolina on 31-May-2018 for US$2,74 sampled at home in Washington on 24-July-2018.

Sample at the 6th Annual Craft Beer Festival by The Community Tap on 04/21/2018. Dark brownish-amber color with a medium light beige head that diminishes steadily to a film. Small patches of lace. Yeast, fruit and malt aroma. Medium body with flavors of earthy yeast, raisin and malt. The finish is dark fruit and yeast. Decent overall.

Can (underfilled - thought I got a leaker but it seemed okay and didn't see any leakage). Tangerine, lime, biscuit malt, and grapefruit peel aroma. Pale yellow with small head. Moderately sweet citrus, light biscuit malt, and moderately strong grapefruit peel/pine flavor. Body light. Decent.

Slightly sweet banana bread aroma. Tasted like a watered down Hefeweizen, thin body with a slightly sweet wheat flavor profile.

Pour is a black with a small tan head. Aroma is a little char, a little roast. It fits the bill. Flavor is exactly like the aroma. Some char and roasted malt with just enough sweetness before the swallow to not make this a super dry porter. This was a decent low alcohol porter, the malt stood out and this did not end up being thin and watery.

Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is an ok pine hop with some sweet sugary malts. Flavor is again a ok pine hop, it's not as sweet as I thought it was going to be, but this is way too malt heavy and lightly bitter. One of those IPA's where 20 years ago this would have been cutting edge but now not so much.

Draft at the 2017 Ocelot Halloween Party. Poured a dark brown color with a medium sized light tan head. Aroma was roasted, dark fruits, caramel malts. Flavor was sweet and boozy, with a lot of caramel and dark fruits. Slightly sweet.
