Taster at Orange & Brew. Dark stout color with a sudsy tan head. Indeed a cocoa nose, or more of a fudge note on, yes, graham crackers. Yeah, lots of fudge and sweetness, and not a whole lot of obvious alcohol. Slight note of cherry somewhere in there. Sweetness can get a little excessive, I think. Almost tastes like lipstick was left on the sample glass.

Draft at Standard Market. Very cloudy in a tulip glass, with a thin ring of foam around the edge. Smell is more of a strong apricot, but close enough. Very pleasant and a bit tart. I think I catch more orange and apricot before peaches, but the total is a great fruity impression with just a bit of sourness, and that's where the peaches come in. Not quite dry per se, but the hops are knocking back a lot of sweetness so it stays nice for all of its fruit juice character. Makes for a great dessert beer.

Can shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Pours a hazy, straw gold color with a finger of white foam. White grapefruit, pineapple and passion fruit aromas. Good fruit flavors on the palate as well. Crushable with a lingering pineapple, passion fruit slight hop burn. Tasty.
