Bottle from allendodd. Thanks for this and all the others! Pours a ruddy copper with a three-finger beige head. It laced a bit. Aroma is coffee. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is mostly coffee. There’s some dark malt underneath. Lager? Ok. But it can stand up against a lot of porters and stouts. Damn tasty ale, er lager!!!

12 oz bottle purchased at Blue Max in Burnsville, Minnesota. Pour is clear golden orange with a few visible carbonation bubbles and a frothy one inch white head that falls fast. Aroma of grainy malt, corn and brightly sweet apple juice. Taste is exactly the nose; grainy malt, corn huskiness and sweet apple juice. Palate ios thin to medium, coats the mouth a bit, lingering corny apple taste. This tastes exactly like a cream ale with apple juice - just as the label says so extra point for that. However, I don’t think I am wild about this marriage.

Bottle from allendodd. Thanks! Pours a lot amber with a decent fluffy white head. Interesting aroma - almost like nuts. Medium body with mild carbonation. Agree with the site; this is little like a wit; it’s standard Belgian ale. And a pretty nice one it is. I don’t usually get the "bubblegum" references, but this time it fits. Pretty spicey, pretty hoppy, pretty tastey. Coriander is noticeable.

12oz bottle. Opaque black with thick beige head. Smoky and creamy, with a solid sandy hop bitterness in the background. Big chocolate presence as well, think Chocolate Cream Dry Stout. Mellow, chocolate milkshake finish. The peat smoked malt adds a nice dimension to it, making it slightly reminiscent of Old Chub smokewise. A great modern Stout.

courtesy of markwise. Pours copper, beige head. Aroma of coffee, grainy, malty. Flavor, light cofee with hints of grains, nutty palate. Nice torrefied coffee mouthfeel with a borderline chocolate presence followed by some faint bitterness. Tasty! Light in body with plenty of coffee.

Courtesy of kiefdog. Pours clear copper with thin off white head. The aroma is a mix of smooth coffee, earthiness, a dash of cherry and maybe some oak. The taste is much the same with sweet malts, caramel malts, coffee and more sweetness from here and there. It oddly ends a bit dry.

Draft at the OF. Orange-brown color, nice thick off-white head. Medium-bodied, smooth middle-toned malt nuances. Light peppery finish that lingers a bit. Relatively low CO2, might just be an older keg though. Easy drinking, a touch dry. Not as much hop character as advertised, a tad too mild for me. More of a pepper-lager than a pepper-APA.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a huge, fluffy tan head over a hazed amber brown body. Aroma is odd. I get a ton of stuff that reminds me of fusel alcohol, but isn’t. There are also berry notes, light tartness, toffee and a touch of something earthy. Taste is alcohol, belgian yeast, flabby malts, phenolic earthy, wheat, and beets. Flavor feels a bit flat. Lively bubbles and a dry mouthfeel. I must also say that I really dislike beets.

Draft at old fashioned. Big coffee aroma. Big coffee taste. Medium bodied coffee assault. Smooth and easy drinking though, not overly sweet and sticky. Filtered amber-brown color. Expresso aftertaste. Well done, very unique.
