Description
A little background... In Richmond Virginia’s unbelievable beer scene, one of the pioneering brewpubs is a place called the Answer. Brandon Tolbert, as many of the craftiest craft beer folks know, was the head brewer and creative force behind this brewpub. He left the Answer a short while ago, when they started taking a different approach to making beer, and set out to do his own thing.
Well, flash forward to today and Brandon’s new creative project is imminently happening.

16 oz. can from a trade with tfontana. Aroma is grapefruit, pineapple chunks in syrup, and mild florals. Flavor is much the same with an underlining sweetness that is countered by floral bitterness. Canned 3/18/22. Not sure if an earlier can would matter.

Can (3/14/22) pour. It's an opaque dark yellow-light brown with light sparkle, finger-plus width white fluffy, foam head with excellent retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is strong tropical fruit, melon, tangerine, lemon. Taste is strong overall fruit/stone fruit, yeast. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with creamy, frothy texture, soft carbonation no sign of alcohol and finish as taste. Overall, good strength of both aroma and taste but former more identifiable. Strong.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of brown head that slowly rises up, then dissipates. Very coffee focused nose with molasses, vanilla and treacle aromas. More of the same on the palate with loads of coffee, booze and black sugar notes. Boozy, warming finish with coffee and caramelized sugar notes.

Reddish black body, no head. Aroma sweet, mostly cocoa with maple and coffee, in addition to some boozy warmth. Body is thick, dense, and heavy, again mostly cocoa, with maple and coffee prominent secondary notes. A sticky, sweet dessert. But, yelling at the sky, I ask where the beer is?
