Can courtesy of Jonas, cheers Jonas! Consumed at home, Attenkirchen, with the Ratebeer Tasting Crew. Saturday 21st September 2019. Pours silvery/gold colour with a large bubbly head. Quite a fuzzy/buzzy bitterness, indeterminate fruits here. Ok but not hugely exciting.

Can. Cloudy yellowish-white like an unripe grapefruit. Aroma is peaches & cream with a bit of pear. Flavor shifts to add a tinge of earthy forest notes. Very fine carbonation. Good one!

On tap at Alewife. Pours slightly hazy gold. Watermelon, tangerine, strawberry, pineapple juice, perfume. Good full body. Odd, but not unpleasant.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a large, three centimetre tall off-white and tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, raisins, molasses, strong maple syrup, oak and a dash of smoked peat - quite strong in the nose.. Medium-bodied; Slightly watery flavour at first that definitely shows the roasted malt and the raisins, figs and pitted fruits, but the backbone isn't too strong and a bit of the lactose, oatmeal and grain shows through that make this seem much more of a porter than a stout (definitely not an Imperial). Aftertaste is more focused on the sugars and the malts than anything else with maple syrup and molasses both coming through along with a dash of peat, earth and caramelised sugars that end quite nicely. Overall, a good offering that is slightly better than the 'original' Starsky and Dutch, but is still much closer to a 'typical' Porter than anything of a stout and definitely not an 'Imperial' anything. I sampled this thirty two ounce growler fill from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 13-September-2019 for US$10,00 sampled at home in Washington a day and two days later (to finish it off).
