Canned 11/8/24, drunk 12/2/24. Clearish, dark chestnut with deep garnet. Large tan head to spotty cover. Coffee is darkish, fairly roasty, not all that fruity but not stale/ashen. Some dirty or maybe just earthy notes, kind of lactose-forward. Not much malt for its abv... Indeed it's creamy in the nasty lactose way. How about making it creamy from a rich maltiness instead of a shitty, gross, adjunct sugar? Super light, adjunct sugar induced body does not provide what I'd expect for the abv. Moderately roasty coffee, done well, with a dearth of malt and more lactose lingering. Its no Special Double Cream Stout, that's for sure.

Cloudy medium orange body, thin discontinous cream head. Aroma lychee, melon, stone fruits, and pine. Body is soft with elements of lychee, stone fruits, berries, citrus, melon, candy cigarettes, and catty notes and a has a crisp, bitter orange peel and pine bite. It's like a cleaner and more refined version of the retired Bell's Official.

Can from DT. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of tan head that dissipates. Pumpkin spice, coffee and chocolate dominate the nose. As it warms more of vanilla cream and pumpkin spice coffee notes shine. Not overly sweet, great balance. Lactose is not over done either. Lingering pumpkin spice, vanilla cream and coffee and chocolate on the finish. Very nice.

Draft at DT. Pours a clear light golden copper color with a finger of off-white head that lingers. Pine and grapefruit aromas on the nose. Toasted malt as it warms. Palate is similar with a mouthfeel that leans softer. Smooth finish, easy drinking with a nice west coast pale ale note.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy, glowing straw gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Lovely peach and tangerine focused nose. Palate is very similar with a nice pithy, dry note undercutting the fruit sweetness. Finishes dry with pith and peach skin. Excellent.
