(On tap @ Birreria Volo, Toronto, Apr 20/18) Pours black with a small pale brown head. Notes of dark malt with brown sugar and a little molasses, soft to moderate bourbon, dry moderate roast, ash, some vanilla, dark chocolate, woody drying quality towards the back end, lingering roast malt and a touch of bourbon as well. No real sign of alcohol heat. Very balanced overall, not extremely strongly concentrated but not watery. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Easily drinkable if not as punchy as the best beers in class.

This IPA poured a cloudy light yellow colour with a bright white, soapy head. Minimal lacing. Scents include pineapple,lemon and orange citrus hops, cooked veggies and dough. First swig was really hoppywith flavours of citrus hopsout the yin yang. Finish is heavily bitter with hop flavour lingering forever.
