Description
David Cole and Peter Erickson are the founders and co-owners of Epic Brewing Company. Cole and Erickson, originally from California, started an international aquaculture company in Utah in 1992. In 2008, Utah law changed allowing these two entrepreneurs to pursue their longtime dream of opening a strong beer microbrewery in Utah, like those they frequented in the Golden State.
Admittedly, beer geeks, foodies, and "Epic" adventure junkies, share a passion for making and drinking fine ales and lagers. The Epic team has a strong belief in doing everything "all out."

12oz canMini-haze to the golden body, wispy white head. Peachy and creamy, just like the can says. Nice enough cream ale, not that I'm an expert on this style.

Bought at Liquor Shed in Casper. Release #1 2021.

It pours a pitch black with a gorgeous 2 finger head of tan foam, oodles of lacing.

The smell is cocoa, mint, roasted malt, some vanilla, whiskey.

The taste is cocoa, mint, roasted malt, vanilla, coffee and whiskey. The mint impedes my enjoyment of this Big Bad Baptist variant.

Not as full bodied as I assumed it would be, overall, I kind of hope that there's no Release #2.

Pretty hazy and cloudy orange and bronze coloured body with a deep, murky glow and a pretty thin, single centimetre tall tan head that leaves a thin lace on the sides. Aroma of citrus, light lactose, heavy malts, wheat and residual sugars with a moderate dose of coconut water/milk in the nose, too. Full-bodied Very juicy and pungent fruit notes dominate here with a lot of oranges, tangerines, grapefruit and some of the almost artificial coconut flavours, with some deep wheat and malt to support all the fruits, eneding in a strong sweetness of both lactose and fructose, with the alcohol noticeable as well. Aftertaste is rich, very fruity, still quite sweet and finishing with a heavy hit of alcohol and lactose with oranges and coconuts pungent, too. Overall, a nice, fruity, pretty New England-ish IPA with a lot of malt/wheat as well that provides a great balance, too - strong, but enjoayble, just not as 'tropical' (coconutty) as I was hoping for. Great to try still after returning from Hawai`i and wanting more island experience/flavours. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria (Potomac Yard), Virginia on 29-November-2021 for US$5,49, best by 06-September-2021 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 26-April-2022.

2018 bottle. Good, with a nice understated sweetness coupled with strong veins of coffee and coconut. More bourbon than rum on the back end, with plenty of dark chocolate, cascara, and anise. Finishes with a mix of oak and cherry and bourbon. Five years might have been a little too long to open the bottle, but still tasty.
