Pour is a black with a large tan head. Aroma is a decent charred malt with some bakers chocolate. Flavor is a surprisingly creamy mouthfeel with some roasted malt and chocolate notes. I thought this was going to be all dry and bitter but it turned out this was way more smooth and a bit sweet with a decent pop of bitterness. Pretty good stuff.

Pour is a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is grapefruit and some caramel malt. Flavor is some grapefruit and strong bitter hops. Some caramel malt also shows up. It's not sweet so that is a plus. Take a trip down yesteryear with this IPA. Old school hops and malts and a eye opening bitterness.

This listing is for the NON barrel-aged version, available packaged in cans or bottles. 16 oz. can, Packaged on 11/13/19. This pours with a nice Guinness-like cascade of brown bubbles down the side. A black beer body with some brown highlights. The nose is pleasingly like a Dutch cocoa, with, indeed notes of raspberry. The taste does start out sweet and chocolatey, but there is a side of roasty malt coming in after the initial sip. There's little alcohol in the nose, which makes it an easy drink to take down. Milk sugar gives me a milky aftertaste on top of the malt roastiness. The raspberries remain subdued, but easily accessible. This is well worth seeking out.

Golden color with big mangoes and citrus character. Semi dry. Lacking a bit of backbone but it’s ok. Love the nose

Can shared by Adam, thanks! Pours black with a light brown head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a nice light pepper with creamy chocolate, sweet dark grains and a hint of coconut underlying. Flavor has sweet dark grains, bourbon and a bit of pepper with coconut and a growing chocolate.

On tap in Chicago during a Christmas dinner. Aroma of peanut butter cup and coffee. Black with minimal head. Taste also is of peanut butter and more restrained coffee. Tasty.

Draft at Mariano's Westchester. Pretty much everything you expect from a craft brewer doing a mass market type beer. A slightly hazy straw color under of bubbly head. Smell is light, with equal parts malt and noble hops. And the taste just shouts out beer to you, most likely the kind you first tried so long ago. The best part of a megabrew beer with no faults: no extra sweetness, but a balance of light malt and a slight pepper from hops. Distraction-free drinking.

Pour is a chill haze gold with a large white head. Aroma is some pale large malt and not much else. Flavor is again a pretty pale and thin malt with a overall watery mouthfeel. This is pretty light all around and about as close to a macro lager as a craft beer can get.
