Tap. Pours clear chestnut, medium creamy tan head, nice lacing. Aroma is classic coffee roasty with a touch of ashtray. Flavor is medium sweet and light bitter, roasty, hints of cinnamon, coffee, toasted caramel. Medium body, soft carbonation. Low acidity.

Tap. Pours hazy golden, small white head, decent lacing. Aroma is a pleasant tropical melon mix, hints of dank pot. Flavor is light sweet, medium bitter, dank and juicy, but a bit of butter as well. Medium body, low carbonation, approaching flat.

Bottle @ Pinsky's, 11/18/15. Dark brown pour with a light brown head. Decent, drippy lacing. Sweet, heavy coffee aroma. Sugar and molasses come through. Definitely used a coffee I would have enjoyed in this one. Seems like a fairly bitter coffee, but the sweetness adds a nice balance. I'll have to try it. Overall, a nice coffee beer that leans toward the sweet side for the style. I enjoyed this quite a bit.

Draft at the source. From notes. A whole mess of citrus hops with just a hint of spicy rye.

Growler shared with Ann. Hazy orange-tan body. Rather sublime and enjoyable. Has some mellow malty tones like a biere de garde coupled with some peppery banana tinged yeast. Comes off like a grissette almost, very drinkable and refreshing. Very clean body for the style. Good.

Enjoyed on tap at Ballpark Brewfest in Schaumburg, IL. I didn’t take tasting notes for this one, but remember this being a nice IPA with a large hop profile that was rather complex. I think I’m going to seek this one out again to try it out.
