Growler shared, thanks to jcwattsrugger, thanks John. Nice amber red color, with lasting head retention. Aroma is grain and caramel malt.
Flavor has a grain base with a light bitter herbal hop in the finish. Abrupt bitter finish, falls off fast. Caramel malt to balance the brew. Medium in body with a mild carbonation. ABV covered really well, Easy drinker.

Growler shared by jcwattsrugger, thanks for the opportunity. Clear amber/red color, nice earthy citrus with caramel and a hint of chocolate. Hides the abv incredibly well. Nice brew.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a yellow-gold color with a a large foamy white head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was perfumey and citric. The flavor was lemon, wheat, cracker and perfume. Medium length finish. Light body. Meh.

Reviewed from notes. Rcvd in trade.
The appearance had a black/almost slightly brown body with a two finger slightly tan/off-white head, sticky lacing that concaves a bit.
The smell had a roasted grain, light mocha, slight chocolate malt.
The taste was mainly sweet to the cocoa, coffee-like bitterness, slight chocolate aftertaste yet a dry finish.
On the palate, it sat about a medium to heavy, not sessionable - good night as the ABV is slightly felt.
Overall, I’d say this is good for a Russian Imperial Stout that I would have again.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a dark brown body with a three finger off-white foamy head lasts a good two minutes, head gently fades to valleys, light foamy lacing clings to the sides of the glass.
The smell had some light chocolate, coffee and malts.
The taste was bittersweet - combined spectacular between previously mentioned flavors.
The palate was about a medium, rolls nicely between tongue and mouth leads to a nice smoothness, slightly sessionable, coffee aftertaste and finish.
Overall, what a nice Munich Dunkel that I would come back to pretty quickly.

Bottle at home. Pours hazy gold, thin white head. Aromas are all grapefruit. Taste is all bitterness. One-dimensional and a thin finish. OK.

Drought at International Great Beer Expo (Meadowlands). Reddish brown with beige spongy head, smoky aroma, roasted rye taste (really, not cheating from the description), long finish with sour rye aftertaste. Interesting but not great.
