New England feeling but with American wheat blandness. So boring style plus undesirable character....

Bit Neapolitan ice cream like mixed with New England. Not sure what to think. Interesting

On tap at Superflux, pours jet back with a monstrous brown head that slowly recedes. Aroma is full of truckloads of coconut, cocoa nibs, and vanilla in good balance—there's a sort of toasted nuttiness as well. Flavour is sweet and decadent, with oodles of coconut upfront, followed by chocolate and a touch of vanilla. Despite how pastry-dominant this is, it's really not all that sweet. Sure, there's plenty of residual sweetness, but it never approaches cloying territory. Excellent.

On tap at Superflux, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma is clean and gentle, with bread malt and a touch of toasted caramel. Flavour is nicely malty, with lots of bread malt, dry toasted caramel, and German lager yeast nicely expressing itself. This is about as good as a Vienna could be in my books. Clean, balanced, malty albeit not sweet. Very good.

On tap at Superflux, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Nose is loaded with intense coconut upfront, accentuated by lime and lactose-like sweetness. Flavour is more lime-forward without the coconut being muted in any way. This doesn't seem like it should work on paper, but this is impressively tasty. I like it.

Jet black with a rich brown head. Almond joy on the nose, coconut and rich dark chocolate. Toasted coconut, deep dark chocolate and a nice body. Rich and well done. Booze hits in the throat.

Murky gold with a decent white head. Juicy orange citrus. Bitter up front and juicy orange. The bitterness is a bit overwhelming for the style.

Excellent foam on a black body, and indeed the server informed me that they specifically installed special taps for this to get the foam right, so kudos to them for paying attention to this yet somehow they forgot to pay attention to foam for most of their other beers. The aroma is huge sweet coconut, strong vanilla, sweet and simple with no alcohol present. Flavour is syrupy sweet coconut with soft cocoa notes, maybe mellow vanilla, and the syrup is great as it hides the big abv but then it's not so great as it gets kind of cloying. You could probably squeeze 15 to 16 percent with how syrupy this thing is and no one would notice. Big and chewy, it is very good but there is room there for it to be great.
