Shrewdly balanced fruit IPA, offering up tons of tropical punch notes without ever losing sight of the base brew. Strong passionfruit-orange-guava backbone never grows sweet, instead offering a solid fruity base that transitions into citric hoppiness before leading to a tropical-pine fade. Grainy malts add a subtle toasted sweetness to offset the POG front. Loses the true, well-crafted IPA sheen of regular Basement, but still a very good beer.

Creamy and soft, full of citrus fruits balanced with a mellow sweetness, all backed up by a grainy malt backbone and an easygoing, pine-laced finish. Hints of peach and lime pair well with the tropical El Dorado notes, while the modest bitterness adds heft to the back end. Drop-dead amazing nose on this beast, bursting with orange and peach and papaya. Pours a cloudy yellow with a lasting head and moderate lace. As gentle and silky a texture as an IPA can get. Tasty as hell.

Remarkably easy-drinking DIPA, smooth, sweet, and mellow, lacking much bite from the 110 IBUs listed on the can and missing any discernible boozy heat. Lots of toasted grain and caramel on the front, adding ample padding for the multifaceted hops--mango, pineapple, soap, berry, flowers, and pine all come into play. None of the hop notes are as prominent as you'd expect (especially the bitterness), but the lack of ABV warmth and the approachable malts make for quite the friendly hop bomb. Update 2021: The lack of warmth is still remarkable, but the hops are a bit too pungent, adding overpowering vegetal notes and leading to a hard pint to finish. Not sure why, but I’m not really digging a lot of my old Scofflaw favorites these days.

Dark color, near black, with small beige head. Very nice aroma of drip coffee. With such alcohol, the burn is high, and the body is not too bold; some dark chocolate, a lot of coffee.
Nothing overly complicated, but good.

500ml bottle (thx, Justin!) at Alex’s shared with Jamey. Bottled on 2017-04-15. Pours an almost black with beige head. Aroma is lots of coffee, some booziness and sweetness. Taste is similar. A little bit boozy, but still nice stuff.

Huge amounts of fruit coming off the El Dorados, layers of berry and apricot and stonefruit, all against a mild grainy malt base. Finishes slightly resinous but mostly boozy, the 10% making every bit of its presence known. Giant dank tropical nose, and the pours a lovely slightly hazed gold with a massive white head and moderate lacing. Too hot, but otherwise tasty.
