Pours extremely hazy dark yellow-orange with a very small frothy off-white head, citrus-mango aroma, adequate carbonation, mildly bitter mango-citrus peel taste lavender flavor, alcohol undertones, somewhat thick body, long finish. Tasteful NEDIPA.

Dark brown. No head. That is just a lot of vanilla on the nose. On the palate, very desserty vanilla. It's fairly simple, but it's got that big vanilla richness that's nice.

750mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of deep vanilla beans, gentle barrels, and deep malts. Flavour is full of vanilla ice cream, vanilla beans, some cake frosting, and hot bourbon barrels. Though it does have that vanilla ice cream, the vanilla depth is pretty impressive, and the barrels round this out nicely. Great stuff.

Poured from 750mL bottle (2023 vintage). Very dark brown with very minimal beige head. Lots of sweet vanilla upfront, boozy bourbon underlay, feint chocolate malt. Decent.

750mL bottle. Pours nearly black with a minimal head. Loads of vanilla up front with notes of chocolate, roast, and barrels on the nose. Flavour has a ton of vanilla beans, good roast, nice boozy barrel character. Maybe a touch too much on the pastry side. Very nice.

On tap at Beera Bar Riga, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has intense maple syrup and cinnamon upfront, with some vanilla in back. Flavour is adjunct city, with intense cinnamon upfront, followed by maple syrup and vanilla. If that sounds sweet, it’s actually not too bad; the cinnamon cuts down on the sweetness, such that the finish is quite bitter and spicy. Could use some barrels or at least some roasty underpinning to help complexify it. Not bad for what it is but not exactly my thing.

Can from Eddy's Beverage Inc. Inky, cola brown with nice sparkle, ephemeral fizzy head, thick, white floaties in suspension and trace lacing. Aroma is strong vanilla, sweet malt, milder coconut. Taste is strong vanilla, covering alcohol (somewhat medicinal), sweet malt, mild coconut. Smooth, thick texture, full bodied, soft carbonation, alcohol heat and finish as taste (including medicinal quality). Not an appetizing look and alcohol is too prevalent.

Draught @ the brewery (Nov 2024). Hazy lemon yellow with a large foamy whitish head, faint citrus aroma, adequate carbonation, mildly bitter citrus mango taste, faint pineapple, thin body, long finish. Juicy indeed!
