Can to becher glass.
Appearance: semi-glossy yellow with a slight chill haze and a half a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: rice sweetness, cereal tones and an ever so light sniff of floral/sweet grassiness
Flavor: mostly sweet rice with a lean malty backing; finishes like sweet rice
Texture: light bodied; sessionable; very smooth along the tongue, good carb level
Overall: good rice lager worthy of returning to and I could see myself having with some sushi.

Smooth, slightly roasty with some barrel, vanilla, syrup, chocolate sauce, hints of earthiness, cocoa and coconut. Pretty balanced and intense

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt chill haze orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some coated lace
Aroma: grapefruit pulp and peel scents, orange peel sweet and bitter-ish whiffs and a super light lemony hop scent way down in there
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a refined sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes grapefruity and orangey bittersweet toned with a pinch of juiciness
Texture: medium bodied - maybe a touch under; between sessionable and being a sipper; some smoothness, slight stickiness but very non-bothersome, appropriate carb level for the style
Overall: what an absolutely awesome NEIPA that I would love to return to.

12 oz. can, pours jet black with a tiny beige head. Nose is full of big bourbon, balanced with deep coffee, dark sugars, and a touch of vanilla. Flavour is super rich, with intense vanilla, dark sugars, big coffee, and all wrapped around by the bourbon barrels. Rich, sweet, vanilla-dominant. A bit brutal but there’s good barrel and malt depth. Very nice.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt yellow-ed orange haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some nice looking concave lace
Aroma: pineapple, stifled sweet onion, floral and a touch of orangey/citrusy pulpy sweet/bitter-ish whiffs - (but somewhat muted here)
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a sweet to bittersweet to bitter sort of quality; finishes pineapple-y sweet to orangey pushing the floral in there but somewhat muted
Texture: medium bodied; between sessionable and being a sipper; some smoothness and a good carb level, semi-low degree of hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: it works as a NEDIPA as I would return to this.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: super dark brown close to black color with a finger's worth of tan foamy head which settled off at a decent pace and left some light concave lace
Aroma: rich sweet milk chocolate, peanuts - nuttty & salty; vanilla sweetness and a touch of coffee roastiness
Flavor: absolutely combines the prior noted aromas magnificently through each other in a sweet and roasty way with the nutty and salty character amplifying the taste and just a nick of alcohol but nothing that's burdensome; finishes roasty, sweet, nutty and salty with a speck of dryness
Texture: medium to full bodied; great as a sipper; good smoothness with a lil bit of stickiness but nothing to worry sbout; great carb level
Overall: a very nicely done pastry impy stout with vanilla & peanuts in it I would love to return to in the Winter.

0.355l can @ Ghetto Something, courtesy of Boris & Goran. Aroma of cinnamon, maple syrup and chocolate. Pours almost black color with thin creamy light brown head. Taste starts with sweet chocolate, caramel and dried fruit, follows by cinnamon, vanilla, bourbon and wood, mouthfeel is smooth and warm, while finish is mild bitter. Full body, syrupy texture and soft carbonation in palate. Suicidal breakfast…

More or less black colour, small off-white head. Aroma is toffee, some dried fruits, plum, quite evident wood and mild fudgey elements too. Flavour is quite similar, but has a nice depth to it. Alcohol is surprisingly wellhidden.

Sample, thanks fonefan! Black, beige head. Aroma of milk chocolate, toffee and amburana wood. Really sweet with full body and rounded, sticky mouthfeel. Maple syrup, toffee and milk chocolate. Sticky finish. Reasonably tolerable pastry.
