Tulip off tap at PP San Clemente. Beautiful pour with a large creamy dark brown head that clings to the glass over a pitch black body. Head lasts for the duration and leaves great lace. When swirled the body also coats the glass with a rich brownness. Aroma of vanilla, coffee beans, and awesomeness. Some hops too. Taste is lots of coffee and sweet chocolate, leather and rich with light hops. Keeps getting more and more complex as it warms with chocolate, leather and dust. It reminds me strongly of Great Divide Yeti, but I think this is better!

On tap at PP San Clemente. Pours with a hazy brown body and a light tan head. Aroma of chocolate, nuts, coffee, caramel and light hops. Taste is coffee, lightly metallic and chocolate. Light mouthfeel and a bit fizzy. To be real honest, this doesn’t taste too dissimilar from the Dawn Patrol Mild.
