Can from Cap Tap. Pours very dark brn/blk with a fairly dark tan head. Aroma of chocolate, raspberries, coffee and vanilla. Malt is well hidden. :) Full bodied. Main flavors are raspberries, chocolate and coffee. Arguably there's treacly malt. Don't know if this is pastry, but it tastes like it's just as full of calories as pastry. Drier than expected. Berry bitter (a pun and a truth). Tastes very good. Heat is hardly discernible. Great ale.

Can from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours light bright gold with a decent head. Aroma is bready and seems a bit lemony. Near med body. Flavor is bready, seems to have a very little lemon, and then gets quite bready. Not too bad for lo-cal. Bottom line: Little flavor; few points.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours very dark brn/blk with a foamy, but not huge, beige/tan head. Aroma of toasted coconut and chocolate. Med body or nearly. Flavor is earthy chocolate with toasted coconut. Dry. Earthy chocolate bitter. Good drink. Revising - with time the beer improved. Rofl.

Super malty, not very hoppy, more like a sweet ale

Very clear coloured light amber and copper body with a nice two centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of honey, strong grassy and citrus-based hops with a lot of herbal notes and a good balance of malt all behind the hops and sweet scents. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal hop flavours at first that show a lot bitterness from pineapple and resinous hops that shows a lot of fruit-based sugars, all sitting on top of a strong malt backbone that support the bitterness and sweetness. Aftertaste has the bitterness up front with a pungent grassy and very herbal finish and a good hop profile with the pineapple, resin and grapefruit right behind. Overall, a nice and pungent Imperial IPA that shows very well and leaves a lot of bitterness throguhout, but is balanced nicely by the malts and especially the fruit-based sugars on the end. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from BevMo in Vacaville, California on 10-March-2019 for US$7,99 sampled a day later in my hotel room here in Fairfield, California on 11-March-2019.

Bière 65 cl achetée chez Rainbow Grocery à San Francisco. Robe orange clair. Arôme typique d'une Impérial IPA américaine avec des notes de houblon, de fruits tropicaux, d'agrumes et de pamplemousse, ainsi qu'un côté fermier, et des notes résineuses. En bouche, une typique IPA américaine à la saveur légèrement sucrée et caramel, mais avec un côté boisé et résineux très agréable. Menthe, réglisse. Belle amertume. Au final, une belle IPA assez forte, bien houblonnée et de caractère.

08/16/18, very nice Baltic Porter. Although I think pohjala has better, this is not bad. Hinted coffee and chocolate, smooth 9abv.

On tap at Pita Kabob in Visalia. Clear with and orange-copper color and moderately low off-white head. Overt fruit and slight pine aroma. Flavor is fruit and solid wheat malt. The alcohol is well hidden here, and this is way too easy to drink at this level.
