12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 1/18/2019. Pours clear very dark ruby red/purple/brown color with a 2 finger dense and rocky khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big juicy, lightly tart/tangy black raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark/brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of vanilla, cream, molasses, smoke, charcoal, herbal, wood, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, raspberries, and light-moderate lactose/earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy, lightly tart/tangy black raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark/brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of vanilla, cream, molasses, smoke, charcoal, herbal, wood, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal, floral, woody, grassy, spicy, roast, char bitterness; and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of juicy/tart/tangy black raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, dark/brown bread/crust, vanilla, cream, molasses, smoke, charcoal, herbal, wood, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, raspberries, and light-moderate lactose/earthy hop flavors; with a great roast/hop bitter/sweet, and tart/tangy fruit balance; with nice cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/char bitterness and fruit tang/tartness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, fairly sticky/chalky, and lightly acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an excellent fruited milk stout. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, raspberries, and light-moderate lactose/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/tart/drying finish, great soft feel. Awesome balance of rich malts, authentic raspberries, and cocoa flavors; with balancing earthy hops against sweetness. Solid lactose presence, was expecting a bit more for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example. Not overwhelming on fruit, perfectly blended and complementing to the base style.

Green can with a bronze pulltab. Smell of perfumy IPA permeates the room, almost sweet. Yes, its hazy and yes, it has a big foamy head. Taste is bitter ass fer-esh IPA hops, maybe a little bit of butter in there. Big strong bitter viscous IPA feelings. No B.O. or diesel nose, but it does just keep assaulting the taste buds and back of throat, whew! Yes, almost medicinal with alky in the end. No session IPA here, its the real terribly on-style thing, thanks; I mean; no-thanks. Ubiquitous IPA all the way. Approaches impy status. Straight away rude ass style. Can was $3, not worth it for a cheapo macro lager lover.

03/12/19, smells gorgeous, shame it has lactose as I feel like they could have done this without but it's still pretty great. Dies quick cause probably a lactose intolerant murderous amount of lactose but still smells and tastes pretty great.

Sample at The Draft Room. Cloudy yellow-gold color with a medium frothy white head that diminishes gradually to an outer ring. Stringy lacing. Aroma of tropical fruits, grassy hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of pineapple, citrusy hops and malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Above average overall.

Getrunken im 1516 in Wien mit Verweis nach Amerika. Keine Ahnung ob importiert oder in Lizenz selbst gebraut. Es ist ein gemütliches Golden Als mit einem braven Geschmack, der aber nicht langweilig ist. Sicher keine Hopfenbombe, aber ein schönes Leichtbier vom Geschmack her.
