Dirty unclear orange with a foamy head. Resin, roasted malt, caramel, grapefruit zest. Hoppy zesty bitterness, malty sweetness. Medium bodied, oily texture, lively carbonated, hoppy zesty malty bittersweet finish. Decent IPA.

330mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out dark cocoa upfront, light roast, and some earthiness. Flavour is fairly earthy, with dry cocoa, oxidation, and toasted malt. Oxidized, under-carbed on the mouthfeel. Nothing terrible, but it's alright.

Dark brown. Just a thin head. Aroma is chocolate and burnt butter. On the palate, it's soft and sweet. The butter isn't as prominent, but this has some issues. I think there's something not bad in the underlying beer, but the diacetyl overrides everything.
