Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy orange gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Peach, lime and papaya on the nose. Palate is very similar with a smooth, soft mouthfeel. Tropical fruit and peach on the finish. Low perceived bitterness. Nice stuff.

On tap at HopCat Livonia. A black pour with a very light tan or off-white head. Heavy hazelnut in the aroma with vanilla, cocoa, and coffee. Flavor has hazelnut and coffee leading the way, syrupy cocoa, vanilla. Well balanced despite the strong flavors. Very nice.

Pour from a 16 oz can. Deept brown to black with a light tan head. Rich coffee aroma, cocoa, cream. Flavor is a good mix of coffee and cocoa with a light to medium roastiness, molasses, creamy vanilla. Smooth but a bit syrupy with some booziness. A tasty mix.

Multiple cans from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear deep gold with a finger of white head that dissipates. Big raspberry and mulberry aromas on the nose with a touch of mint. Watermelon comes through more on the palate with more raspberry again. Finishes dry with a nice prickly pear note alongside watermelon ride, pine and citrus pith.
