I found a 12 oz can at the nearest HEB supermarket a week ago. My ABGB snifter is working for this sampling, it is in place and I pour. A fairly clear, light gold body followed by a proper head of totally white foam that slowly settles. Lift the glass to take a smell and I get throwback amounts of hops, citrus and some dankness. The drink ambles along closely, moderately hoppy, lemons, malt, pine and a bit of honeydew sweetness. Decently bitter. It is nice to get a straight-up IPA every so often

Legit. My favorite place. Ever. In a hammock so that's the best picture I'm taking.

A curious combination, vanilla and an IPA. Also curious that the can says Neature Walk, no idea what the deal is. I have a 16 oz can found at the local craft beer shop. I open the can and tilt into my Cowtown snifter. A view of a semi-transparent gold body completed with a significant top of solidly white foam. The scent is interesting with a blend of pine and vanilla, time to see where this goes. A drink, the vanilla is quite obvious followed by some hops and some grass. The sensation befits a DIPA, rather full. Still a curious beer as I said before, not one I would buy again.

What a cool label on this beer, minimalist but it really jumps out at you. And a beer in a style that has risen to be one of my favorites now. It’s unfortunate there are so few black IPAs to obtain, I rarely see them. I located a 16 oz can at the HEB closest to where I live. Drinking out of a snifter from a Houston brewery no longer operating, the glass gets the pour. Dark mahogany brown in appearance finished by a stupendous head of mocha foam. I smell plenty of hops, burnt grain and maybe some grapefruit. The taste is full and pretty rich. The hops again, charred wood, leather, toast, heavy malt and a bare hint of caramel sweetness. A fine beer flexing in an under appreciated style.

12 oz. can from Total Wine - San Antonio, TX. Pours a pitch black color with a tight, fine tan head and great retention. Lots of spots of lacing. Coffee-dominant aroma. Sweet lactose and coffee flavors with a strong, lingering finish. The creamy chocolate and vanilla/lactose notes are strong enough to keep the 8.3% ABV from becoming too aggressive. A bit too much coffee flavor for me, but overall it's a well made imperial milk stout. Appropriately heavy body. Low carbonation. Medium-light bitterness. The 8.3% ABV is somewhat hidden, yet warming. Good, sneaky strong dessert beer.

Grrrowlers, doggos, beers, cheap tacos. Hazy orange, lingering froth. Powdered sugar, orange dreamsicle, twinge of salt. Vanilla, orange creme, powdered sugar, slight herbal kick, bit of a pithy finish. More vanilla than I want. Still solid-ish.

Revisited this same tap at the same location without realizing it. Oct 2024: 2.4 Clear, vibrant, mgd frothy. Grassy, herbal, medicinal hop nose. Lingering sweet caramel, leather, bitter rind, constrained bitter bite. Strong CO2, thin body, middle high acid, good pedestrian feel. Solid. June 2024: 2.8 Grrrowlers, such nice weather while watching the doggos. Almost clear, pale gold, frothy pour. Grassy, veggie, grapefruit nose. Bittergreen bite, lots of acid, slightly medicinal turning ugly sweet. Nah.

Single from Craft Beer Cellar in Dallas. Sat in a box for two months under my desk at work. Picked up & loaded into my luggage home on the next trip. A day in the fridge & into a pint glass. Moderately roasty, burnt brown sugar, heavy cream, grape skin nose. Heavy but mellow malt, 60% chocolate lush feel, fatty cream texture, slight grape & cherry acid, bittersweet, aged hops, pithy finish. Very little noticeable cherry past the bitter skin & acid. Not too sweet. Incredibly lush feel & in-check heat. Frothy & coating but not oily. Great.
