16oz can. 11.6% ABV. Big cocoa tone, lesser raspberry. Adjuncts sort of pastrify it all out, detracting from what seems to be a really solid base beer. Just kills any semblance of balance. OK.

Pint can - moderately hazy gold with a soapy head - nose is spicy hops and light dusty yeast - quite dry, which I appreciate, but the strong hop profile swallows some of the yeast character up front - some peppery phenolics arrive late, along with mild esters - the finish brings slight sweetness and notes of bright fruitiness - overall it’s nice, but would like the hops toned down a bit.

16oz can from Hops & Bottles. Dark brown pour, one finger cream colored foam cap, lacing. The aroma is a blend of roast grains and oranges. Light notes of chocolate too. The taste is light citrus, chocolate, roasty with very subtle winter spice. Almost a faint coffee character at the finish.
