Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a two finger khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: roasted dark malts, some coffee beans, dark chocolate; some baker's chocolate/cocoa nibs (I think)
Flavor: mildly blends the prior noted aromas together roasty and bitter, and a super light touch of sweet closer to the end; aftertaste of roasty coffee and bitter dark chocolate
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sort of sessionability to this one; some dryness on my tongue; finishes roasty with the dark chocolate and coffee
Overall: I'd say a pretty nicely done porter I'd be willing to come back to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: cloudy burnt yellow color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which slid off at a nice pace to leave some light messy lace
Aroma: pineapple, passion fruit, peachy and piney hop tones playing with a light biscuity malt base
Flavor: meshes together the prior noted aromas bittersweetly and allows a decent aftertaste of peach, passion fruit and pine
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability about it, finishes semi-crisp and passion fruity with some peachy skin
Overall: I dig this APA or possibly NEPA depending upon who you talk to. It's a good one to come back to.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: bronzed copper color with a subtle transparency and a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which took it's time to dissipate and leave some messy lace
Aroma: citrusy, clean grassy, some floral hoppiness with a gentle tropical fruity hoppy tone underneath then a clean malt base even further underneath
Flavor: bittersweet throughout by blending the prior noted aromas nicely then a swift aftertaste of the citrusy/floral and tropical fruity tones
Texture: medium bodied with a slight sessionable aspect to it; some smoothness along my tongue; finishes citrusy and floral
Overall: nice enough DIPA I could possibly come back to.
