Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a deep brown to black with a small bit of off-white head that lingers. Creamy chocolate nose with fresh ground espresso notes. Roasty coffee and creamy oats on the palate. More cacao powder and coffee on the end. Well executed if not a bit tame. This could work well in a barrel. --- Beer merged from original tick of RhinOverture on 29 Sep 2018 at 12:36 - Score: 7. Original review text: Creamy chocolate nose with fresh ground espresso notes.

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a hazy clearish straw gold with a finger of foam. Lots of pithy white grapefruit and dank citrus on the nose. More citrus on the palate, with some resiny notes. Excellent mouthfeel, texture and body. So many SIPAs are either too watery or too heavy for the style. The malt bill is perfect. Lingering light granola malt, dank citrus and white grapefruit pith. Great stuff. --- Beer merged from original tick of Mosaic Lite on 02 Aug 2018 at 01:36 - Score: 7
