16 oz can poured, picked up at Hop and Hound. Dark cola, cocoa brown pour, plenty of dark tan foam head. Love the coffee forward nose here. It's inviting and indicates this would be appealing at any hour of the day. Lots of milk chocolate and coffee flavors throughout, medium to light roast. A touch creamy. Soft toast and coffee ground linger. Really flavorful porter that's lighter on strength. A slight vanilla note hangs on the palate. Just a really fun and tasty brew here.

Draft pour pint at Josh's Taps and Caps. Far from a hazy version they have brewed in the past, this is clean and clear light golden in appearance, plenty of foam head. Dank nose, piney and grassy hops, lots of grain to balance. Crisp front, with a bite to follow. Sharp bitterness, dank, subtle melon. Intense for what appeared to be a light and easy drinking fresh hop. Interesting brew.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Special Brews. Dense cocoa brown appearance. Lots of chocolate cream flavor with a subtle chili heat in the background. Spicy note present on the aroma as well. Expected this to be much sweeter, but cocoa nibs, dark malts, and chilis achieve a nice balance. Still a solid choice for a dessert like beer without a cloying element. Awesome brew.
Can. Pours a orange golden hue with a medium white head. A big sweet perfume and citrus nose. Pretty sweet, tropical citrus, mango. Smooth.

16 oz can from Tapped, Mill Creek. Fun series, and always a fun hop. Balanced throughout, with a both grassy and juicy hop profile. Slick taste up front that borders what I'd expect from a hazy, but finishes with a nice sturdy grain that is needed to balance a super flavorful hop bill. Pretty easy to say that Nelson hops make damn good IPAs.

Weird blueish -it'�s dull blonde like if you didn'�t know there was ube, you would be confused. Yeasty, some fruit. Some coconut. Lots of it.

Medium brown, big peanut aroma, light body, kind of flakes out, this is weak. Not getting pandan but it wouldn'�t save it.

Pink and hazy, no head, berryish, pomegranate. A mellow sour lacking distinction.

Pale, gold, no head, has weedy note, base beer is a bit weak, and doesn't carry the centennial well.
