Partially hazy, deep golden and copper coloured body with a fairly thick, three centimetre tall tan and creamy, frothy head that stays afloat for a while. Aroma of biscuits, yeast, honey, bread, grass and a slight floral and perfumey aspect that's quite nice. Medium-bodied; Fairly dense malt shows at first with a bit of a biscuity characteristic, but full-of-flavour with some hop bitterness coming through as grassy, perfumey alpha acids with a very small dose of grapefruit zest here, as well, with a note of the bready, yeastie notes at the end. Aftertaste is fairly rich, especially for the style with a slight nutty and earthy quality that's derived from the malts that also adds a nice bitterness from the alpha acids, but it almost seems that there are more flavours derived from the malt than the hops - same with the richness here. Overall, a fairly nice, East Coast IPA that hits nicely with some assertive malts and a big yeastie/bready bite that is seemingly more noticeable than the hops. Nice to sample as my first from the brewery, from the best beer store in Michigan! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Siciliano's in Grand Rapids, Michigan on 03-August-2021 for US$3,29, sampled at my house here in Washington on 16-December-2021.

Batch 3 on draft multiple times at DT. Pours a pitch black with a finger of brown head that dissipates. Lovely notes of marshmallow, vanilla, cacao nib and bourbon. On the palate more of the same with some oak, vanilla and more marshmallow notes. Cacao nib on the finish with bourbon and marshmallow. Stellar!

Can from Drafting Table. Pours a pitch black with a finger of brown foam that lingers. Big dark chocolate focused nose with bourbon, oak and treacle aromas. Big chewy and velvety mouthfeel with lots of body. More dark chocolate, cacao nib and notes of bourbon, tobacco and some earthiness in there. Really good stuff from DT. Glad to see they put this base in barrels.
