Dark amber, lasting beige head. Nice cinnamon vanilla nose, cinnamon more prominent in palate. Sweet with orange notes and good lacing

Dark brown. Thin head. The aroma is chocolatey with some banana. I have had several banana beers in the past few years and none had much banana character because it all ferments out. This is more like Mongozo or Chapeau, and that is not a good thing. The stout itself has the usual richness associated with Twin Sails pastry stouts, but the artificial banana just sort of floats in overtop. Like putting a squirt of mayonnaise on top of a gorgeous slab of toro or serving a 40 year old Glenfarclas over ice, it just downgrades what would otherwise by a damn fine experience. I get that they needed to do something to help move some old stout, but trust me the audience for this type of beer would prefer a '�double barrel'� variant than an artificial flavouring variant.

Dark brown. No head though. Doesn'�t look right. Lots of coconut, weak base that offers maybe some toastiness but nothing else - the coconut needs some dark malt, hop, residual sugar -something so it doesn'�t taste like suntan lotion. Balance is a thing, but not in this beer.

Hazy dull amber with no head. Not much going on appearance-wise. Tart, actually a bit bracing, stone fruit and the vinous notes come through cleanly. Still, this is just too sharp.

Tart, slightly vinous, has a medium lactic character, some stone fruit but it'�s not fully coming together. Looks dull and muddled with no head.

Amber, slight haze. Lots of C hop on the nose, and palate. Fairly bitter. Pine and citrus hop. Good balance for classic pale.

Super crazy deep purple, indigo and deep muddied blue coloured body with a nice three centimetre tall light purple, lavender coloured head that fades fairly slowly, without leaving a lace at all - crazy looking, but absolutely beatiful. Aroma of strong lactose, funky grassiness, alcohol, bunches of wheat, sweaty socks (yes, really - odd!!!), a kick of apples and of course some blueberries - all strong in the nose, at least. Medium-bodied; Fairly thin in terms of malt here without any real wheat qualities, but some light and tart blueberries are here, but no bitterness, hops or pungency - this is quite thin. Aftertaste is pretty bland as well, with some lactose and icing sugar as the strongest notes, but nothing too pungent here and nothing complex. Overall, sadly, this is all about the look and nose here - the flavour and palate is deeply disappointing and like most others, not an IPA at all! I'm happy to have tried this and especially LOOKED at it, but not worth grabbing if you are packing it in a suitcase and flying back home - just drink it right away! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Broadway Liqour in South Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on 01-July-2022 for CA$5,50 sampled at my house here in Washington on 26-July-2022.

355mL can, pours a deep dark amber brown with a medium beige head. Nose is full of winter spices -- particularly vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon -- with a toasted bready malt backbone. Flavour is sweet, malty and spicy, with plenty of caramel, toasted bready malt, light cinnamon, some vanilla, and a hint of nutmeg. Medium-bodied, just heavy enough to be able to support the spices, which are reasonably balanced. I'm not generally a fan of these types of spiced winter ales unless you've got a much bigger beer base, and this isn't an exception; but, for what it is, it's not bad.

On tap at Twin Sails, pours a deep dark mahogany-tinged brown with a small beige head. Aroma is strongly coconut, with a moderate toasted malt base. Flavour is full of coconut, with a thin toasted malt, leaving gentle sugars and lots of coconut. If you're gonna do a 4.6% coconut stout, this is good, but why would you do it. Fine.

On tap at Twin Sails, pours a hazy full dark ros� colour with a tiny head. Aroma is very acetic, with tons of drinking vinegar, lots of oak, and gentle wine notes. Flavour is way too acetic, with lots of drinking vinegar notes, dry vinous notes, and a touch of oak. Way too acetic, finishing too vinegary and tart. Not very good.
