On tap at Bare Hands. Body is a deep brown with a decent head and aromas that remind me of Citra, but barman says \"No Citra here...\" In addition, it has an almost minty herbal presence to the nose. Tropical fruit, a little resin, chocolate and citrus. The hops get lost a bit in the flavor, and it is a chocolate malt driven BIPA, but I like it.

On tap at Bare Hands. Body is dark brown with little head. Aromas of peat, chocolate, oats and cream. Flavor is a little thin, but a nice mix of the above. Very clean stout.

On tap at Bare Hands. Pours a hazy orange with a decent head and aromas of medicinal and citrusy hops with a slight peachy edge. Flavor is mildly malty and mildly hoppy. Kind of a nice middle-of-the-road brew that would be great for sipping all say long.

On tap at Bare Hands. Pour is a cloudy orangish amber and aromas are understated. Kind of a vague fruitiness like peaches, pears and biscuit. Flavor is ok, but a little mucky. A little heavy handed on the malt and the Apollo hops don’t quite shine clearly enough. Not sure whether it’s a limitation of the varietal or a result of the recipe. It’s good, but not crisp.

On tap at Bare Hands. Pours a slightly hazy orange with tropical fruit and resiny aromas. Flavor is a yummy mix of honey flavored sweet malts with a pleasant hope bite.

Snifter on tap at Bare Hands. Pours a deep and thick looking brown with a thin but dense tan head. Aromas of burnt malt, dark chocolate and licorice. Flavor is simply amazing. One of the best new imperial stouts I have had in a long time. Dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla, a little dark fruit and so on with a perfectly thick and creamy mouthfeel and a warm finish. This is totally worth the trip to Granger.
