Sample at Bridge Street Tap Room. Brown-black color with a medium foamy beige head that diminishes gradually to an outer ring. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. Medium body with flavors of roast malt, bittersweet chocolate and coffee. The finish is roasty with a chocolate malt aftertaste. Above average overall.

Bottle. Decent stout that doesn’t drink like 8.5 ABV. Hints of chocolate, roast coffee, and a bit of sweetness. But not syrupy, too chocolately or like a coffe drink.

Ok. It has a lot of conflict going on with the taste and it really doesn't taste Belgian (to my uneducated palate). Slightly hoppy. A bit weak body for 9.5ABV. But there is something I can't put my finger on that makes me like this beer. A little spice, some coffee, fig, raisin, cherry. . . I'm not sure. Try it. You will either like it or hate it.

Bottle poured to pint glass. Hazy, light gold. Piney, grassy. Light on the hops and citrus but but very drinkable for what it is--a low ABV session IPA.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 2/23/2016. Pours lightly hazy golden amber color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of huge grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, cracker, bread, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Incredible aromas with awesome complexity and balance of juicy/dank citrus/tropical/pine hops and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, cracker, bread, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine/citrus rind/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, lemon/orange peel, light pepper, pine, cracker, bread, and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy/dank citrus/tropical/pine hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness that increases through the glass. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, moderately sticky/resinous, and fairly grainy/bready/creamy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a small warmth lingering after the finish. Overall this is an incredible DIPA! All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy/dank citrus/tropical/pine hops and moderate pale malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink for the big ABV. Very well attenuated and not overly sweet on the malt character considering the ABV as well. A highly enjoyable offering.

Bottle. Pours a clear deep cooper with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a light pine note with some grass and a sweet grain backbone. Flavor has a pine bite up front that has a bit of bitterness with a finish of grass and sweet grain.
