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.

Poured from a can into a tulip glass
Pours a hazy pale orange with a finger and a half of pale off white head that leaves a little bit of sticky lace
Aroma is predominantly citrus. Fresh OJ, lime and pithy grapefruit standing out while some juicy mango settles in.
Taste is very citrus forward, fresh squeezed ruby red grapefruit juice and pulpy orange juice steal the show. Fresh mango adds some sweetness to the mix while orange pith and peel add a bit of bitterness as things play out.
Medium light body and moderate soft carbonation make for a pillowy easy drinking dipa. Pithy citrus bitterness melds with smooth tropical citrus juice leaf to a rather sessionable brew.
Overall it's another nice showcase of what Citra hops can do. I'd be happy to enjoy this beer again.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown to black color with a thin tan foamy head which slipped off pretty quick and barely left any lace
Aroma: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, black coffee, roasty character, vanilla, cinnamon and some caramel
Flavor: leans into the sweetness initially and allows some roast to enter in; finishes chocolatey sweet
Texture: medium bodied - maybe a touch under; between sessionable and being a sipper; some smoothness and a light dryness
Overall: pretty good pastry impy ale worthy of coming back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: milky yellow haziness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some mild lace
Aroma: great blend of white grapes, melon, grapefruit and lemony hoppiness with a great clean maltiness
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a great bittersweet juicy quality; finishes white grapey/melon/grapefruity hoppy blend
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper, very smooth with a touch of hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: a very nicely done New England styled DIPA very worthy of returning to.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a quickly dissipating little head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: roasty and sweet to earthy and spicy coffee tones, so many different coffee variations - really good; quaint semi-sweet vanilla, then light roasty vibes from the aroma as a whole
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to an extremely awesome sweet to roasty quality; finishes very coffee forward with subtle tones of vanilla
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper! Some smoothness, a light dry tone and a delicate spicy earthy grind into the tongue
Overall: a very coffee forward impy stout I would very much welcome again.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: thick muddy purple color with a quickly dissipating foamy head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: sweet & tart blueberries, sweet & tart peaches, sweet cream/vanilla character
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to creamy sweet quality; finishes blueberry & peachy creaminess
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable, very smooth and creamy along the tongue
Overall: nice as a fruited milkshake beer but where was the sour qualities in this? I'd still have this again.

12oz can from my brother. Near black pour, silky beige head. Aroma is sweet, caramel, chocolate, roasty with some warmth on the back end. Initial sweetness in the taste, chocolate, maple syrup, minor coffee notes. Sweet and gooey. ABV creeps in late.
