Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours black with at thin light brown head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a nice maple, bourbon and vanilla note that is balanced by dark grains and some bitter roasted malts. Flavor has some bitter dark roast and dark grains but maple comes through supported by vanilla and a bourbon note.

Multiple times on draft at the brewery and in cans. Pours an orange gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Big punchy Citra aromas with gooseberry, citrus, pineapple, dank and blueberry as it warms. Palate is similar with nice dank and pine along with zest on the finish. Nice bitterness, but hop forward throughout.

Can from Drafting Table. Pours a dark brown to black with a finger of beige head that dissipates. Big bourbon focused nose with oak, vanilla laced brownies and milk chocolate undertones. More of the same on the palate with vanilla, brownie and bourbon standing out. Smooth and silky, full bodied with a well-rounded mouthfeel. Lingering warming bourbon with a vanilla brownie note on the finish.

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.
