Location: 16 oz can at Flying Saucer, 1/31/12

Aroma: The nose is fairly sweet with notes of chocolate, vanilla, roasted malts, and coffee
Appearance: The pour is a creamy dark brown color with a thick light brown head atop it
Flavor: The taste is fairly sweet and malty, chocolate and sweetened coffee, minimal bitterness
Palate: The body is medium, it has a smooth and creamy mouthfeel, with a rather soft carbonation
Overall Impression: I thought this was a pretty decent stout. It is a rather sweet version, but it works pretty well, and drinks nicely. I'd have this one again.

I love the label on this one. 16 ounce can from Beer Run. Pours a hazy straw color with a large frothy off-white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of nutty notes and spice with a bit of a sugar note. The taste is sweet malts, candi sugar, strong cinnamon, nutmeg and other spice, caramel. Medium-full bodied. On the sweet side, and maybe a bit too strongly spiced, but still a nice beer.

Taste from can. Still a few notes left from Dark Lord Day 2011. I first thought this was a pale ale. Very cloudy, makes me wonder if it was conditioned in the can. I thought of an American pale ale hop nose. taste is very solid and hoppy one with American hops, nothing extreme or out of the ordinary. Goes down nice and easy.

5ooml can into a big Tripel Karmeliet glass. Glowing orange, looks filtered, but maybe a little hazy. Soapy white head. Sugary aroma, some candi sugar maybe, but not so impressive. Pretty much an uninspired American version, though still reasonably enjoyable. Not so strong as to be overbearing. Some true to style mild hop bitterness balances it out. Decent, but rather pedestrian and lacking depth..still has some pleasant freshness and remains nice until the end of the glass.

Thanks to Armin for sharing - hazy gold - sudsy lace - nose is soft mineral, herbs, flowers - actually a bit soapy in the nose - some floral notes - flavor is medium sweet, fairly floral, grassy - a bit of mineral notes and toasty, husky grainy notes - finish is lightly medicinal, husky, syrupy - quite messy.

Location: 16 oz can from Colonial Wine and Spirits, 12/12/11

Aroma: It has some yeast, fruit/citrus, some spice (pepper, etc), and some wheat and bready notes
Appearance: A mostly clear dark gold with a thick, foamy white head and medium lacing on the glass
Flavor: Subtle and yeasty taste, with quite a bit of pepper/spice, light sweetness, and some light bitterness
Palate: Light-medium, somewhat tingly mouthfeel, and the finish is fairly long and spicy on the tongue
Overall Impression: This one is a little odd. It has a weird peppery spice that seems to overpower most of what else is going on here. It isn't a bad beer, but unfortunately, it is kind of a mess. I ended up deducting slightly from the overall, because there seemed to be something wrong here that I wasn't fully capturing in the other categories, I can say for sure that I'm torn on this one, it's a decent, but flawed, offering.
On a side note, It was interesting to see a brewery attempt a Tripel in a can, and it has a kind of interesting name, and a pretty nice design, so I have to give them credit for their originality.

Sampled on draft at 3R6P this beer poured a hazy orange-caramel color with a large foamy orange-white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweetish pine, grapefruit, perfume and undertones of faint caramel and nut. The flavor was bitter and dryish with moderate pine, grapefruit and lemon and light caramel, nut and bread underneath. The finish was long and bitter with lingering pine, grapefruit and perfume. Fairly full bodied. Interesting.

16oz can-pours a tight light tan head and gold color. Aroma is perfumy, some light/medium malt. Taste is pine/perfumy hops bite, secondary light /medium malt-caramel.
