Sampled on draft at Hou Thou this beer poured a dark caramel-orange color with a medium sized creamy orange-white head that left exceptional lacing. The aroma was bitter and dryish with grapefruit and mango. The flavor was bitter and tangy grapefruit, mango, a dry middle then vague tropical fruit and a hint of toasted caramel. Long dry and bitter grapefruit and mango finish. Moderately full bodied. Ok.

Pours dark bronze into a tulip. White head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Caramel and toffee aromas. Soft with sweet caramel and mango upfront turning to mango before the lasting bitter pith finish.

Sampled on draft at Hou Thou this beer poured a black color with a huge foamy tan head that lingered forever and left good lacing. The aroma was dry and roasty with notes of nut and vague fruit. The flavor was dry and roasty with notes of nut, coffee and the faintest hint of fruit. Long dry and roasty nut and coffee finish. Medium body. Decent but disappointing.

22oz bottle I picked up at Pizza Boy’s bottle shop. Pours an inky black with some thick, brown head. Nose is to the point, huge milk chocolate, dry roasted peanuts, lacto sugar, malt, a little cola. Flavor is more mild than the nose, still plenty of milk chocolate, still some distinct dry roasted peanut, molasses, cola. Full, sweet finish. Kitschy.

It's a brown Ale.

Solid IPA, tad hoppy for me.

More coffee than chocolate. Still good.
