Small tulip at the brewery. Opaque red-brown beer, thin foam creeping up for some lace. Malt, slightly sugary nose. Taste throws the amber beer malt right at you, carried on a bed of alcohol, luckily served cold. Some bite from leftover yeast that gets in the way, but doesn't detract overall from the big beer.

The aromas are toffee malt and slightly old resin hops. Flavors are a touch sweet up front with lots of bitter towards the end. Add in some medicinal. Carbonation is a bit soft with decent body. Long bitter malty finish. Date stamped September of 22 but I can't tell if it's canned on or best by.

10 oz draft at Firetrucker. The usual dark stout with a thin ring of foam around the edge. The nose has some sweet chocolate fudge to it, pretty mild otherwise. But maybe draining the glass a bit might reveal more (yes, when it's half empty, it is more of a fudge note). Taste does have some of the velvet smoothness of an oatmeal stout. There is a slightly tart edge, and I think that comes more from the chocolate infusion than the stout malt. But in sum, the chocolate is not overwhelming, just a welcome presence. Kind of sweet, but again there's a little bitterness from chocolate and maybe some hops to keep a balance. I can easily see this being amped up in abv and going into a bourbon barrel. Maybe some day that will happen.

Draft, at Firetrucker, with a taco truck taco. Brassy color, with a little Haze in the glass. The nose has nothing but the traditional IPA resin smell, and there's nothing wrong with that. Taste is a precise balance of malt sweetness and happiness, with some hop afterburn. This seems to hue very strongly toward an avatar of the traditional IPA style. In a a brewing World filled with tropical fruit, cold and sour IPAs, this is very welcome.

The Aromas are resin hops, mango, bug spray and a little caramel. Flavors are Like nose and not-so-good. There's an unbalanced Bittersweet where nothing works with anything else. Some heat in the Finish. Drain pour.

16oz can. Seltzer alco-pop type creature. Ginger and lime are there, but nothing else going on. Thin, pale, dirty water body. No head. Quite unimpressive.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a black color with a small foamy tan head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was faint roasty malt and coffee. The flavor was a bit watery, toasty and had coffee and a bit of sweetness at the finish.

From my wife: pours mostly clear brown with a large beige head. Aroma is nutty and fairly malty. Taste is fairly nutty, light sweetness, low bitterness. Standard brown Ale aftertaste. Not bad. Fairly light body.
