Draft at Spiteful. Poured a dark brown color. Aroma was lightly roasted malts, some light toast. Some bitterness, pretty tasty. Decent. Chocolate, toasted. Not too nutty. Easy to drink.

Draft at Spiteful Brewing. Poured a clear golden orange color with a small off-white head. Aroma was plenty of citrus, juicy, with some light resin. Tropical fruits, pine, and some mild resin back this one up.

can. picked at random in chicago. incredible aroma - strong, but well balance. very good imperial IPA

Dark brown coloured body with a rich, two centimetre tall tan head that leaves a nice lace on the glass. Aroma of chocolate (of course), roasted malt, nuts, earth, bunches of vanilla, some dry oak and a bit of lactose still noticeable. Medium-bodied; Assertive roasty and nutty flavours at first with a big dose of vanilla and sugars right behind while also showing some earthier and drier flavours, finishing with chocolate and a lot of lactose. Aftertaste is a bit more full-bodied with a side of vanilla and a good dose of roast and some fruit notes, even. Overall, an interesting beer that shows some good flavours, but nothing too cohesive or straight-lined here. Still, nice to sample and worth trying this or one of the other incarnations if you get a chance! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from West LakeView Liqours in Chicago, Illinois on 25-May-2016 for US$11,49 sampled at home in Washington on 06-April-2017.

Brown to black with red edged. Translucent from top to bottom. No head. Smells of licorice molasses cocoa and honey. Tastes of burnt wood, cocoa, cream, sugar, clove.

Can courtesy of cgarvieuk dregs run. Appearance - hazy amber. Nose - burning hay. Burnt fruit cake. Taste - oranges and toffee. Palate - medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long and fairly balanced finish. Overall - resembles slightly an ESB. More malt character than expected. Decent though.
