750ml bottle pours an oily, translucent brown with no head. Nose is bad, soil, feet, some bread, some tobacco, light wood. Flavor is... well... not much happening; booze, harsh oak/wood, paint thinner, some mild caramel. Finishes oily and hot. Could be the worst Illuminati offering yet, and I have had them all.

750ml bottle pours a clear orange with some creamy, white head. Buttery nose, furniture polish, melon, lychee, some burlap. The nice part about the flavor is the melon, lychee and candy too, some paint though and quite a bit of butter. Watery finish. Why?

Thunder Burger, DC tp: pours orange with a white head. Aroma is grapefruit and tropical fruit. Taste is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Nothing too exciting. Pretty easy to drink and all.

Draft pour at Maplewood Grill in Vienna VA. Poured a hazy, murky amber color with a wispy off-white head. Aroma was sweet malts, lots of dark fruits. Flavor was dark fruit, sweet malts. Candi notes. Alcohol is pretty well subdued in this one - I drank it without knowing how much the ABV was. I want to like this one more, but it’s just a little too sweet without enough bitter to balance it out.

Sampled at the brewery, pours a hazy deep brown with some creamy tan head. Nose is cool, chocolate covered coffee bean, real obvious cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking brownies. Flavor is chewy grains, dark chocolate, brownies, German chocolate cookies. Dry finish. Not too sweet either. Good job guys, the chocolate is supposed to be the star and it really shines here.

Sampled at the brewery pours an oily, murky amber with zero head. Big candy nose, dates, some clove, marzipan. Flavor is ok, a little odd, there’s a lot of brown malt - like C-80, some candy... maybe, almonds, dates, some soil. Finishes hot. Not sure what the hell this is.

Sampled at the brewery pours a murky pink/purple with some ringing pink head. Nose is solid, better than the base, raspberry obviously, straw, lemon, a bit buttery. Flavor is better more straw and lemon with all that tart berry and some yogurt. Lightly tart finish, easy enough drinker without an abrasive amount of acid.
