Growler opened on the bus ride to the Hunahpu release. Pours black with light brown head. Aromas of roasted malts, chocolate and some coffee. Similar flavors with some sweetness. Medium to full body with minimal carbonation. A decent brew.

Tried on tap at the Florida Brew Fest 2011 addition. It pours clear copper with gold edges and full off white head. The aroma offers up citrus notes, some spicy hops and a touch tart. The taste is citrus hops, a little bit of lemon, a little tart, grapefruit and a sense of dry like acidity that makes me think there could be a very mild level of infection going on here. The taste is pine and mostly citrus like grapefruit. It has a light body and is easy drinkin’ and doesn’t seem to have the same acidic dryness noticed in the nose.

Tried on tap at the Florida Brew Fest 2011 addition. It pours a nice looking mahogany with infra red edges and pretty effervescent mocha head with swirls of whiter hues here and there. The aroma is roasty, a little bit of toffee covered burnt toast and chocolate covered malt balls. The taste is full dark roasted malts to near robust levels with lighter notes of toffee, espresso and burnt toast. It stays highly roasty to just about being burnt without reaching ashy levels as it stays grounded with lots of light chocolate malts and maltiness. Wait, this is an Imperial Stout here on RB? Well that’s not right. This is a very good stout though.

Tried on tap at the Florida Brew Fest 2011 addition. It pours hazy copper fully opaque with thin gold edges and nice tan head. The haziness must be hinting at the degree of hoppiness and that makes me happy. The aroma is resiny and thick with grapefruit, orange rind, tangelo and pine. These are at near robust aromatic levels for the style. They did serve it a bit cold so those that experienced it quickly missed some of the goodness delivered once it warmed a bit. The taste offers up firm to robust grapefruit, orange and tangelo citrus hop flavor and then running up to solid bitter hop notes to midway and leaving the flavor hop notes behind. This beer has medium body and is sessionably goooood.

Tried on tap at the Florida Brew Fest 2011 addition. It pours perfect mahogany with light mocha head. Nice looking beer. The aroma is roasty with a pleasing level of spicy rye like notes and citrus hops creating a yummy smelling combination. It tastes has an initial pulse of roast to it and then rolls up a thick layer of firm rye spiciness. Toward midway it picks up additional notes of citrus and spicy hops. Nice full rye spiciness that I can really sink my teeth into. Easy drinking full flavored YUM.
