On draught at Frontier Brewing.
Pours a medium gold, clear, very short lasting head of foam.
The smell IS like key lime pie, including the crust.
Nice tart lemon, sweet pastry like taste..that's the crust. Easy level of tartness, made easier by the crusty flavour.
Light body but not watery.
Interesting.

Old notes. Pours near black with a small tan head. It smells of chocolate and a little coconut. The flavor is very sweet with chocolate and coconut. It's different. Med body. Okay.

Can. pale amber color. Grapefruit in the piney grassy aroma. Some malty, nutty notes next to the massive grassy citric hopbitterness. Grassy, earthy citric finish with peppermint. Firmly hopped, delicious IPA.

12 ounce can into snifter, canned on 9/21/2015. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a small dense and rocky tan head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa, dark roasted coffee, caramel, molasses, toffee, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, raisin, prune, fig, date, smoke, charcoal, leather, tobacco, herbal, wood, grass, peppercorn, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/black/roast/bready malts, chocolate, coffee, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of huge dark chocolate, cocoa, dark roasted coffee, caramel, molasses, toffee, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, raisin, prune, fig, date, smoke, charcoal, leather, tobacco, herbal, wood, grass, peppercorn, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate pine, herbal, woody, grassy, peppery hops; and roast/charred bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, dark roasted coffee, caramel, molasses, toffee, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, dark bread/crust, licorice, dark fruit, smoke, charcoal, leather, tobacco, herbal, wood, grass, peppercorn, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/black/roast/bready malts, chocolate, coffee, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a fantastic roast/hop bitter/sweet balance; and no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/char bitterness. Medium carbonation and fairly full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready/grainy, fairly sticky/chalky, and lightly slick mouthfeel that is fantastic. Mild increasing warmth of 10.5% after the finish. Overall this is a fantastic Russian imperial stout! All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/black/roast/bready malts, chocolate, coffee, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the big ABV, with the mellowly bitter/charred/drying finish. Nicely soft feel, not overly bitter/charred. Fantastic balance between rich malts, chocolate, and fruity/nutty coffee complexity; with balancing earthy hops, and restrained fruity yeast. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering hop/char bitter dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazingly spot on style example. The coffee held up surprisingly well considering the age, may have been in a fridge the whole time.

Sampled from a can this beer poured a black color with a large foamy brown head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was dry, roasty, a bit woody and had hints of coffee and cocoa. The flavor was bitter and roasty with coffee, cocoa and cream. Long finish. Moderately full bodied and creamy.

I can't get over how much this smells and tastes like key lime pie. Sampled from a can this beer poured a hazy golden color with a large foamy yellow-white head that left decent lacing. The aroma was sweet and yeasty with pie crust and lime. The flavor was tart and sour with pie crust, lime and lemon. Very long finish. Medium body. Excellent.

Can smells very much like mild citrus perfume. Looks like hazy hefe. Pretty good foamy head. Taste is typical rude ass IPA with a green citrus rind attack. Starts to smell a little like turpentine, volatile nose. Taste does not hide the alky, its strong and in yer ipa face. Yep, nothing special here, just one of another thousand ubiquitous ipa variations. What else can be said except that if you like IPA, go forit, if not, forgettahbouttit.
