Hazy yellow body with lasting white head. Citrus pulp aroma. Taste starts out citrus, goes to malt and just drops off. Almost no finish

Culmination Love in Shadows 10.8% Pastry Stout w/ Cocoa, Cherry & Vanilla Deep viscous black with a mild cherry cocoa aroma. Full bodied and you don’t get the alcohol though you do get some warmth in your belly afterwards. The taste is sweet syrupy cherries and cocoa. Quite well balanced and having a few berry sweets really makes that cherry shine. Apparently, this was a special 4th Anniversary release which I got via a trade. I’m surprised it wasn’t already on RB.

16 ounce can. Pours a very hazy straw color with a medium white head. A big pulp and funky husky malt nose. Almost dry at times, yeasty, lactose maybe, pineapple, tropical fruit. This is on the too hazy side for me. It's got green bitterness and is quite dry really. Despite that, there is a nice tropical core. But it leaves you soapy and dry. Decent.

12 ounce can. Pours a clear straw color with a large white head. A big bready light perfume and lemon nose. A really tropical core here, passionfruit, even a bit of tart flowers and fruit, light bready malts. Quite solid. Really hoppy.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Hop and Hound. I've always been a fan of breakfast for dinner, so here we are. First non hop forward brew for me since my month off from beer. I missed beers like this so much! So much flavor going on here. Jet black appearance. Sticky foam head and lacing. Definitely getting all the advertised adjuncts here. I'd put them in order of Cocoa, Almond, Coconut as far as how much each jumps out. Just a sliver of coconut here. I love coconut, but there is enough other stuff going on here to where I don't miss it too much. Total breakfast aroma. Maple, cocoa. All the good stuff. Lingering maple, nutty constant. Cool, and an easy drinking imperial for sure. Very nicely done.
