Bottle. Was very disappointed with this one. Dark amber-brown in color. Small amber head. Aroma was coffee and cherry. Taste was pretty bad. Cherry cough syrup and coffee. I believe if it had more chocolate and less coffee it would have been better.

Bottle. Kind of cloudy, gold in color with a medium, quickly disappearing head. Aroma is a light tart fruit smell. The taste is lightly tart with a fruity finish.

Bottle. Rather disappointed. Slightly explosive when opened, overflowed and made a mess. Copper-amber in color with a nice off-white head. Aroma is notes of caramel and roasted grains. The taste however was like roasted corn. Strange is would taste that way.

Can. Actually, a really nice can. I think I prefer IPLs to IPAs. They just taste better to me.

Bottle. Medium to deep brown with a smal head. Aroma has hints of roasted grains and caramel. Taste was also roasted grains and caramel but not overpoweringly sweet. Nice.

Can at the Airbnb, first beer of the trip. Why is it this hard to find anything in stores that’s not sold in at least six packs ot not a double IPA in tallboys? Anyway, it pours cooper with an off-white head. Nose and taste are resin, biscuits, citruses and grass with a hint of orange peel. Moderately bitter, somewhat sweet and sticky. Pleasant old school AIPA.

2016 vintage bottle at home. Pours jet black with a two-finger beige head. Nose is roasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate and licorice. Taste is surprisingly fruity licorice upfront, then the coffeeish, chocolatey, roasted earthy malts take over. Light to medium bitterness and somewhat bitter with a savory touch from the licorice. Closes with that fruity licorice character and dark chocolate, has a light to medium yet pretty rich (especially for the ABV) and soft carbo.
