Taste is slightly sweet caramel malt and lingering bitterness from the hops. Not citrus really there. Probably better fresh. --- Beer merged from original tick of Double D on 06 Jan 2017 at 17:46 - Score: 6. Original review text: 9/14/16 bitter caramel bomb. Probably decent fresh.

Bottle from a 12 pack, named the "Pinup Pack". Bottled on 9-14-16. Golden amber-ish color with much head to speak of. Aroma has sweet fruits, sweet caramel, tangy pine and floral notes.
Taste is backed by plenty of sweet caramel malts leading into floral and some abrasiveness from pine. Medium to full bodied with a sticky texture over the tongue. Some alcohol presence. Finishes solidly bitter. Bitter in the sense of higher IBU’s without a welcoming hop flavor. Still drinkable but I got to say I like the two other styles in the mixed 12 pack much more than this one.

Bottle from a mix 12 pack, named the "Pinup Pack". Color is a see-through orange / gold color. Thin head retention. Aroma a lot of yeast byproduct of bubblegum, banana and dried fruits.
Flavor is sweetness of pear with light sugar notes, again Belgian yeast showing bubblegum and banana, but not over powering or overly sweet. The alcohol is only lightly noticed. Texture is somewhat dry. Not overly spiced or overly sweet. Pretty much average for the style.

Bottle from a mix 12 pack called the "Pinup Pack" labels marketed to men. Bottled on 10/26/16. Pitch black color, thin weak tan head. Aroma is moderate espresso bean, roasted grain, milk chocolate nuances.
The flavor has decent amount of roasted malt backbone. The espresso bean lingers slight after the sip with a good amount milk chocolate to balance. Body is medium plus with a creamy / smoothness. Alcohol is hidden pretty well, make just a hint noticed. Overall, a nicely constructed imperial stout. Old school with only the adjuncted espresso bean. I really enjoyed this.

Bottle from Total Wine. Pours hazy amber-orange with a small off-white head. Lovely floral hop aroma, along with grapefruit and caramel malts. Flavor is... well, slightly floral, slightly caramelly, hints of citrus, but also a lot of not much. Finishes bitter, but like a grassy bitter rather than a citrusy-IPA bitter. I used to like Dominion when they were in Virginia. I think there’s a noticeable decline in the quality of their beers since the move.

Clear copper coloured body with a very thin, super fast-dying tan head that looks and sounds like a soda. Aroma of spices (of course) showing allspice, nutmeg, canella, cardamom and a bit of ginger as well. Light-bodied; Subdued malt and general beer flavours and just a sweet flavour showing a smooth spicey flavour that is almost like a ’pumpkin spice soda’ than anything else resembling a herb/spice beer. Aftertaste shows some light sweetness from caramel and fruits with a lot of residual spices and not much else. Overall, a pretty spicey, but underwhelming beer with the spices and grain and not much else to make this worthwhile. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Fair Lakes (Fairfax), Virginia on 06-November-2016 sampled just nineteen days later on 25-November-2016 at home in Upstate (New Paltz), New York for US$1,99.
