On draft at Butcher’s in Park City UT. Pours a clear copper with an off white head. Very light aroma. Flavors of citrus and grass. Light bodied. Apparently brewed to mett the strange Utah law that limits dray beers to 4%. Meh.

1 qt, 0.815 oz giant swingtop bottle. The inside of the bottleneck on this has a film of gunk in it...not cool. Pours hazy yellow with a nice white pillowy head with great retention. Aroma is cloying sweet, dough, overripe bananas. Taste is also cloyingly sweet. This is a somewhat old bottle (I don’t see a date or vintage, but the price sticker says 2012, so it should still be good, I would think). I didn’t give this a high score, but I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt that this is better fresh and not giving it even worse than a 2.2 score. Two year old tripels should still be just fine if brewed right!

16oz can pours a honey gold with some creamy, white head. Nose of honey, a little doughy, a little citrus. Flavor is slightly sweet, slightly malty, some green tomato. Watery, lightly tannic finish. Not great.

500 mL bottle. Black pour, with a huge, light brown color, and great lacing. The aroma is bittersweet chocolates, molasses, cinnamon, pumpernickel, some light earthiness and just a touch of salt. Sweet flavor, with a slight bitterness from the roasted malts. Medium to heavy body, chalky, but slick, with a relatively clean finish. Overall, this is a nice stout, but nothing too special.

Expensive as all hell 1 liter swing top, picked up at Moab, pours with a clear copper body that supports a weak off white head of foam. The aroma offers up caramel malts, thin fig notes and a bit of a peat like plastic sensation. The taste comes across better than the nose as the peat in the nose was cutting against the other notes. In the flavor I get sweet malts, some caramel like malts, prunes, figs and then the peat note bringing up the rear off in the background. The more I drink this the more I like it.

0.5 L bottle. Dark, translucent orangish-brown color, with a huge, frothy, beige head. The aroma is molasses, semi-sweet chocolate, coriander, bitter orange, and some light smoke and peat. Very sweet flavor, with a little grainy bitterness in the aftertaste. Just a touch of boozy warming. Heavy body, sticky, and chalky. This is a big malt-bomb, but nice, complex aroma and a big, thick palate.

0.5 L bottle. Dark hazy, muddy brown, with a big, beige head, and thick lacing. The aroma is light chocolate, toffee, resin, and pine. The flavor is malty and sweet, with a good, mellow bitterness. Medium body, sticky, creamy, and a little astringent. Overall, this is a beautiful, nicely balanced beer.

Bottle - Toasted malts and earthy hops with a malt backbone. Super thick head and jet amber. Candy hops with a slight malt richness, as an IPA great, but as CDA doesn’t have the roasted malts I was looking for.
