In my point of view, it is a decent stout, classical and powerful, a perfect one before to sleep, roasted malt, cacao, hop, coffee, mineral, 03.06.18, at Bonfol

12oz bottle at Gravity Cafe & Bistro, Chiang Mai, Thailand. Poured an unclear light amber colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is sugary, light citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter, with a smooth, somewhat rich, toffee, light citrus fruit, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. I expected better.

Bottle to nonic glass.
Appearance: dark brown color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: lots of roasted nuts, dark bread, earthy tones, deep caramel/toffee malts, some chocolate notes, light minerality, and some dark fruits
Flavor: malty, toasty and roasty through the prior noted aromas; finishes malty, nutty and dark fruity
Texture: medium bodied, leaning to being a sipper; some smoothness but also a light grainy/earthy grip
Overall: nice enough imperial brown ale but now that all my Lost Coast is into Brewver, I look at this brewery and wonder how much longer they're gonna be brewing.

Bottle to nonic glass.
Appearance: semi-dark brown color with a two finger white foamy head that when it dissipated there was actual lace (for once, one of their beers has lace! Woooeeee, Hallelejuah!)
Aroma: light toasted nuts, subtle roasty tones, some earthiness, caramel/toffee malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a semi-sweet malty vibe; finishes nutty and kinda bready
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, good smoothness
Overall: easy going brown ale worthy of coming back to.

Bottle to nonic.
Appearance: amber color with a one finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some grassy hops and light citrusy hops, caramel/toffee malts
Flavor: somewhat bittersweet through the prior noted aromas; mild finish of the malts and the citrusy hops

Overall: one of their better beers and one I could possibly return to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: cloudy pale yellow with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which dissipated at a decent pace but very little lace appeared
Aroma: some coriander, sweet wheat, light lemon, and extra citrusy notes, subtle herbal character
Flavor: mostly sweet with a muted sort of spice to dead floral kind of herbal tone; very dry with that dead floral tone in the finish
Texture: light bodied, some smoothness, slightly sessionable and dry to the feel on the tongue
Overall: I like witbiers but this one doesn't really hold it's weight with the better ones of the style.

Bottle to nonic glass.
Appearance: brassy dull yellow color with a quickly dieing head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: muted citrusy hops, dead floral hoppiness, stiff caramel/toffee malts
Flavor: copies the aroma pretty much in a malty vibe; brisk finish of dead flowers
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sort of sessionability to this, carb seems fairly high
Overall: not impressed, and I don't see myself to returning to this beer.

Can to nonic glass.
Appearance: golden yellow in color with a quickly dissipating foamy white head, no lace
Aroma: fake watermelon, sugary grainy substances
Flavor: just so sweet all the way through hard to determine any true finish to this - maybe somewhat sugary watermelon
Texture: light bodied, guess this would be sessionable if that's what the brewer was going for; watery
Overall: an insult to the brewing industry, maybe these guys should sell to AB/Inbev so they could screw this beer up more.

Bottle to nonic glass.
Appearance: murky dull copper color with a one finger white foamy head which dissolved fairly quick and didn't leave any lace
Aroma: light citrusy tones, some pepper, light notes of white bread and some dead flowers
Flavor: some sweetness but the dead flower tones seem to grasp and take hold of the flavor mostly; finishes dry with the dead flowers and with a dead grassiness too
Texture: light bodied, somewhat sessionable, extremely dry on the tongue
Overall: really hard to get through all of that, I swear I heard my drain calling to me "Adam, I'll take the rest of that for you" but I managed to get through that.
