Pint at the brewery. Pours a clear, bronze color, with a medium, frothy, beige head. The nose is grapefruit peel, caramel, light perfume, pine bark, and gentian. Dry and bracingly bitter. Sticky, aggressive, and smooth.

Pint at the brewery. Pours a hazy, yellow color, with a big, frothy, white head. The aroma is straight pineapple juice. Some banana, orange zest, and vanilla. Sweet and sugary, with a light tart finish. Light body, with a fluffy, effervescent palate. This is a very fruity, delicious, juicy beer.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a dark, clear, brown color, with a medium, off-white head. The nose is strong cardamom, caramel, vanilla bean, toasted pecans, and maple. Sweet and syrupy, with a touch of bitterness. Heavy body, with a syrupy, lightly spicy mouthfeel. This is a balanced, beautifully aromatic beer. Lovely!

Pint at the brewery. Pours a pale, opaque, yellow color, with a big, frothy, white head. The aroma is heavy mango, juniper tips, black pepper, lemon zest, and hay. Sweet and sugary, with a nice, sharp bitterness. Medium body, with a smooth, lightly acidic mouthfeel and a biting finish. This is a quality and enjoyable hazy IPA. Not just straight OJ, which is nice.

On tap at the brewery. Pours black, with a small, dense, tan head. Green apple aromas dominate. Some black bread, lemon, and pine. The flavor is sweet and phenolic, with a touch of bitterness. Medium to heavy body, with an acidic, slick palate. This is an unfortunate and pretty gross stout.

12 oz. can purchased at Total Wine & Liquor in Colorado Springs, CO. Pours a very dark brown color with ruby highlights and a tight tan head with very good retention. Fairly good lacing. Charred aroma. Very dark charred molasses flavor. Slick mouthfeel. Pretty clean. Almost no carbonation. Not my preferred stout style. At least the 7.1% ABV and 51 IBU are well hidden.

Got in a trade with beergoot. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, unreadable can dating. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, molasses, raisin, fig, date, smoke, charcoal, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/black/bready malts and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with big strength. Taste of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, molasses, raisin, fig, date, smoke, charcoal, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate pine, herbal, woody, grassy, peppery, roast/charred bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, dark bread/crust, licorice, molasses, dark fruit, smoke, charcoal, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/black/bready malts and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with an awesome hop/char bitter/sweet balance; and no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/char bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and fairly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.1%. Overall this is an excellent foreign stout. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/black/bready malts and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/charred/drying finish. Nicely soft feel, and not overly bitter/charred for the style. Awesomely well rounded English malt complexity; with great earthy hop presence/balance, and restrained fruity yeast. Light residual sweetness with lingering hop/char bitter dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressively spot on style example.
