12 oz can. Pours a clear amber with moderate head. Aromas of weed, dull resin and toasted malts. Flavors of pine, dull lime, and toasted malts. Bitter finish. Simple old fashioned IPA, a step above a good homebrew

Bottle. Pours clear black, small tan head, decent lacing. Aroma is pretty overt vanilla, dark chocolate, fudge indeed, light bourbon notes. Flavor is really sweet, light bitter. Medium body. Pretty one dimensional. 4,7,8,4,14

On tap at Beachwood BBQ, pours black with a small beige head. Nose reveals deep bourbon, with plenty of vanilla, followed by caramel and some dark fruits. Flavour reveals deep but soft bourbon notes upfront, which impart plenty of vanilla, and with subtler dark fruit character. For a 13% BA brew, this is remarkably smooth and soft on the palate. It perhaps doesn't have the elegance or complexity that other top BA brews do, but this is well-made.

On tap at Beachwood BBQ, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out resinous and piney hops, with gentle tropical fruits, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is vibrantly bitter, with lots of piney hops, a touch of resins, and light tropical character. Crisp biscuity malt backs this up. Dry, piney finish. Doesn't have the depth of some west coast DIPAs, but this is solidly made.

On tap at Beachwood, pours black with a small brown head. Aroma is full of earthy roasted malt, light dry cocoa and crusty bread. Flavour is powerful, with assertive roasted malt, a bit of the British bready malt character coming through, and backed with an assertive piney hop balance. Fairly dry, roasty, and bitter finish. Excellent.

On tap at Beachwood, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma is dank and piney, with lots of piney hops, light resins, and moderate dankness. Flavour is beautifully pungent, yet balanced, with oily resinous hops, some pine, moderate dankness, and just enough sweet bready malt to back. Clean and powerful. Excellent.

On tap at Beachwood BBQ, pours a clear dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of caramel upfront, followed by some red fruits and toffee. Flavour is heavily caramel forward, with red fruits and bready malt. Sweet but not cloying, structured well. Good stuff.

Can (3/5/21) pour from Valley Beverage, Sherman Oaks. It's an opaque light brown-dark yellow with no sparkle, finger-width fizzy off-white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is very strong citrus and grapefruit with milder cooking herbs. Taste is also strong but herbal component is on pretty equal footing with the citrus and grapefruit. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft-to-average carbonation and finish as taste with some yeast. Overall, hops still going strong at 100 days! This is exactly what I would think an NEIPA with these hops should taste like. A bit thin for the style.

35,5 cl bottle @ St. Mary's Park, bottled 27.04.2018 Aroma has vanilla and liquor. Also chocolate typical to pastry stouts. Flavour has chocolate, molasses, liquor and alcohol. Also licorice. Reminds me of spicy Prairie beers but this has more weak body.
