Can from Livonia Liquor & Fine Wine. Pours a pitch black with a dark brown head that lingers, then dissipates. Big chewy roasted malt, dark chocolate, cacao nib, espresso and molasses present on the nose. Thick and creamy on the palate. Definitely some lactose-like body. Dark roasted grains, coffee, toasted maple syrup. Lingering bitter baker's chocolate and cacao nib on the finish. A big chewy stout.

Quarantine Beer #054 sampled at home on 04/11/2020. Hazy yellow-gold color with a medium white head that burns away steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing. Aroma of herbal hops, citrus and malt. Medium body with flavors of resiny hops, grapefruit and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

16 ounce can. Jet black color with a matching foamy dark brown head. Roasted malt aroma is slightly subdued. Hints of cassia bark (earthy cinnamon), vanilla and dried berries. Wow, an intense burst of sweet roasted malt, bittersweet cocoa, cinnamon and treacle. Viscous, sticky mouthfeel. Very lightly carbonated. Notes of black licorice, chai tea and cardamom. 12% ABV is well hidden in the layers of flavor. A dark and mysterious brew.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a glowing, hazy straw gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates. Dank, earthy mineral aromas with pineapple, herbal notes and pith all present on the nose. Dry on the palate (classic Narrow Gauge) with more citrus pith, herbal and earthy flavors. Low to medium bitterness on the palate with peppercorn, pith and dank citrus. Really nice.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Hop and Hound. Beautiful can that just looks like something I would buy, and that brings us to now. First impressions when pouring is, well, it is definitely a hazy. Dense orange juice haze, creamy appearance, thick overcast foam head. Really smooth taste here, full of juicy, flavorful citrus hops. I see shining contributions from both Citra and Galaxy. I'd like to think I would have been able to identify the dynamic duo here in a blind tasting. Extreme refreshment. The kind of IPA that reminds me of sunny days, and ball games. Sadly ball games are existing only in memory as I drink this fantastic brew. Perhaps someday soon I will be able to enjoy my favorite pairing ever, being baseball and beers. When that day comes, I hope beers like this are sitting at the local bottle shop coolers waiting. Awesome!
