On tap pours out golden topped with a white head. Nose is big sweet strawberry jam some toast. Taste is more of the nice sweet jammy strawberry toast and a touch of peanut butter.

12 oz. bottle from Total Wine. Pours a pitch black color with a large tan head with mahogany highlights and great retention. Good lacing. Sweet milk chocolate aroma. Likewise, the flavor is creamy milk chocolate, roasted malt, and light cinnamon and spices in the finish. Medium body and a creamy mouthfeel. A nice sweet stout with just enough spices to make it more interesting. Both the 6.8% ABV and the 35 IBUs are well hidden. Really good and very repeatable.

This 12 oz bottle came from a Black Friday visit to a Total Wine in Ft. Worth. I have the brew cooled off and am ready to pour into my New Belgium globe glass. The view is a semi-opaque, medium yellow body with the barest of a white skim. Steady carbonation. I get a scent of fruit and light pine, nothing all that exciting. But the drink is an improvement on that. Pineapple, some grapefruit, white bread and a small hoppiness. A full sensation also, I like that. Certainly a beer worth locating again.

Pours a reddish amber with a massive tan head. Aroma of nutty, spiced malt. Taste has sweet malt, caramel, mild molasses. Palate is somewhat grainy, has some more pleasant nutty elements on the nose. Good, if sweet.

Nice hop flavor. Sweet and enjoyable. Their pilsner is just as good or better than it was 35 years ago. Congrats to Abita for an awesome beer!
