8.6/10 β€” Appearance 9 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 8.5 Texture 9 Overall 8.5
Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a small dark brown foamy head with some retention and some lacing notes. Aroma of chocolate notes with some rye whiskey notes with vanilla notes. Taste is also a mix of chocolate notes with some rye whiskey notes and vanilla notes with some minor residual sugar notes. Body is pretty full with an oily texture and good carbonation with some light discernible alcohol notes. Enjoyable BA stout.

High acidity, good tea flavor. Would maybe like it a bit better if it wasn’t a kettle sour.

Pours opaque amber with a big white head. Aroma of pine and resin Taste had heavy resin notes, strong citrus hop oils, tons of pine, or, better stated, juniper. Palate has much more of the juniper lingering on the tongue. Great.

Pours golden with a lot of fine carbonation and a fluffy white head. Aroma of rich malt, bready. Taste is very refreshing, bready notes, some yeast. Palate is much of the same, somewhat lacking the honey one has come to expect in the style. Good.
