Tap at Ratio Brewpub on the way to the airport, 9th May 2024. Pours orange brown, aroma is light funk, floral, vegetal. Taste is floral, yeast, carrot, interesting

12 oz. can from Molly's Spirits in Lakeside, CO. Pours a clear, very dark ruby color with a beige head and very good retention. Decent lacing. Faint malty aroma. Light nutty flavor and light dark malts. Very subtle. I wish the flavors were more pronounced. Thankfully the 45 IBUs are well hidden. Clean, smooth, and easy drinking. Light body. Medium carbonation. Low bitterness.

Pint can - this is a classic example of adjunct additions ruining a dang good beer - had the “regular” BA Genius Wizard last week and it was great - this one? - it doesn’t even look the same - dark brown - and the body is somehow much thinner than the base beer - adjuncts are heavy-handed and sickly sweet, especially the caramel - the woody and tannic complexity of the barrel is subsumed by the sugary “natural flavors” - coconut tastes artificial and a bit like suntan lotion - watery finish - I mean, they legit ruined this beer and now I feel like running out and getting some more of the untainted iteration of this beer to cleanse my palate.
