Aromas are dark malt, toffee and a hint of toast. Flavors are similar to nose. Just very slightly more sweet than bitter with good carbonation. Straightforward beer, nothing fancy but good.

I prefer a regular imperial stout, the pastry stouts can be just over the top. But that does not mean I will not taste them. Tonight I have Last Course to try, the can came to me from Half Time in New York. The tab is lifted and I pour. A quite dark, caramel brown liquid with a thin tan foam covering the top. I smell maple, grain and and a promise of sweetness. The taste does match up somewhat with the scent. There is wood, syrup, a grain taste that could be pie crust and a candy sweetness. The sensation is thinner that I anticipated and that is a setback. The pecan pie thing in total is escaping me. Perhaps my expectations were too great.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: milky yellow haziness with a thin cap of a little white head. Dissipated to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrusy, floral and pineapple with a subtle clean grassy hoppy and a clean cracker malt
Flavor: bittersweet juiciness through the prior mentioned aromas, slight aftertaste of juicy pineapple and floral hop tones
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper, fairly smooth, semi-creamy on the tongue, finishes floral and pineapple-y in a creamy smooth sort of way
Overall: very nicely done NEIPA well worthy of coming back to.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: burnt yellow to orange haziness, small cap of a little white foamy head and dissipated inward and left some sly concave lace on the sides.
Aroma: mangoes - yes, coconut - yes, vanilla - yes, granola - seems more of an ever so slight afterthought, sweet creamy/lactose backing
Flavor: mostly sweet through the prior mentioned aromas, touch of tart character through the mangoes, mild aftertaste of coconut, mango and vanilla
Texture: medium bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper, low carb, extremely smooth on the finish
Overall: I like this pastry sour ale, it would be a great starter sour for those new to sour ales as there's barely any true sour character throughout the entire beer.

Overall: a stunning NEDIPA extremely worthy of returning to!

Can to tulip.
Appearance: milky looking glossy yellow color with a one finger white foamy head that slid off nicely and left a little bit of messy lace
Aroma: passion fruit, citrusy and sweet grassy hops with a kind creamy/vanilla-like backing.
Flavor: takes the previously mentioned aromas and blends sweetly with a subtle sour to tart vibe; aftertaste of passion fruit, citrus and cream/lactose
Texture: medium bodied, showing some signs of being sessionable; fairly creamy along my tongue; finishes with some nutty to creamy tones and a light passion fruity tone
Overall: I'd say a pretty nicely done sour IPA or pastry IPA - some kind of blend, I guess. It's one to come back to.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: black in color; one finger khaki foamy head slid off at a low key pace and left some light concave lace
Aroma: authentic coconuts; milk chocolate sweet smoothness, sly tone of coffee roast, clipped beads of dark chocolate and super subtle whiff of dark bread
Flavor: blends all the prior mentioned aromas together sweetly and backed up by a semi-roasty coffee character; mellow aftertaste of coconuts and coffee
Texture: medium bodied with a good sipping quality about it; semi-smooth along tongue; finishes smooth with the coconuts, chocolate and roast
Overall: I haven't lost my coconuts yet doing these beer reviews for as long as I have and this is a very worthy beer of coming back to.
*and no suntan lotion was hurt in the process of making this beer *insert winking emoji here
