This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a white to off white foamy one finger head that dissipated fairly quickly. Lacing is semi-thick and clingy.
The smell starts off with big sweet milk chocolate hovering above some caramel and a light vanilla.
The taste was extremely sweet through the chocolate. Light milky chocolate flavoring holds the fort down fairly nice and leads to a decent roasty and semi-grainy milky chocolate aftertaste running into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body. Its definitely sessionable.with a big smooth creaminess sticking to my tongue.
Overall, best thing about this beer is the texture, I really liked that. This one really drinks like a chocolate milkshake. I liked it for me, but do see not as much robust/roasty coffee-ness in the aroma/flavor.

Bottle, sharp permeating ipa aroma. Big head. Fairly clear pale yellow, not sure where the white comes in. Pretty good co2 on the palate. Some difficult sharp, somewhat astringent, ipa flavors set in. Yes, astringent, especially as the session continues. Sediment on bottom of bottle. Alky is not as prevalent as the 6% would indicate. Yes, quite difficult for a lager lover but perhaps not like many mouth coating viscous ipa that border on iipa as in the past.

Draft pour pint at the famous Red Rocks amphitheater. So happy to be back here at very well could be the world’s greatest outdoor music venue. To have a beer half as spectacular would the best, but I’ll take what I can get. Pours a clear copper color with a ton of foam head. Gainy aroma. Flavor is a little dry, malty. Bitter finish. Glad to try, but nothing really special here.
