This beer pours black with some brown around the edges, and a medium tan head that recedes steadily to a film. Small patches of lace. Roast malt, vanilla and chocolate aroma. Medium body with flavors of roasted malt, vanilla, coffee and chocolate. The finish is sweet with a vanilla mocha aftertaste. Decent overall.

Can, courtesy of DerA. Pours greenish unclear yellow. Aroma is salt, coriander, some fruit. Body is medium, strongly fruity and salty, lots of lemon, citrus fruit. Lively carbonation, some candy, some acidity. Sweet palate. Quite good.

Pint can pours with a deep dark body that supports a short lived mocha colored head of foam. The aroma offers up loads of chocolate and almond nuttiness with a dark bread sensation in the background. The taste delivers smooth chocolate and sweet almond like nuttiness. It gets pretty darn sweet to midway as cake and frosting like notes seem to bubble to the surface. Another sip reveals a thin molasses sweetness roaming around the periphery of the experience. Nice sipper.

Pint can pours with a complete opaque gold, copper, terracotta pot colored body that supports a nice tight light tan head of foam that leaves behind some sheet lacing. The aroma offers up oat influenced honeydew and cantaloupe with thin pineapple and earthy pineapple skin in the background. The taste delivers smooth juicy goodness where it is only semi sweet as well as balanced. I get supple notes of honeydew, cantaloupe and then pineapple riding over a thin malty oat sensation. It evens out toward the finish where a mild yet pleasing cracker like maltiness bubbles to the surface. Yummy crushable brew with zero sense of the ABV.

Can thanks to Dak! Pours milky oj, large creamy off-white head, dissipates fairly slowly, good lacing. Aroma is lemony, orange peel, grass, orange juice, melon. Flavor is light plus sweet, light bitter. Medium plus body, creamy mouthfeel.

Pint can pours with a murky opaque copper body that supports a light tan head. The aroma offers up mango, cantaloupe, a nice thin oat note and some tangy tangerine. The taste delivers smooth soft juicy mango and increasing tangy juicy tangerine. It gets into more tangerine blended juicy orange and tangelo with a persistent background of spicy bitter onion hop bitterness. This is hitting the spot with loads of flavor, balance and depth with no sense of the ABV. This is stellar.

32oz growler, big ups to jpderden24 for the beer, pours with a nice totally opaque dirty gold grapefruit juice colored body that supports an off white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up oat nuanced mango and then soft cantaloupe and wafer thin guava. The taste delivers smooth somewhat soft mango, cantaloupe, honey dew, peach and apricot. Behind the fruity juiciness are modestly bitter grapefruit and a citrus pith sensation. Oh my. Another sip reveals juicy sweet peach and apricot. There's plenty of balance here with juicy flavors all over the place. Yum. Terrific IIPA
