Twelve ounce bottle from Clifton Market in Cincinnati, Ohio, tasted on Novenber 16, 2024. FIne mahogany hue. roasted malt aroma with lactose and cookie notes, well balanced taste as advertised by the nose. A chemical note keeps this from getting a higher score. But fans of sweet or pastry stouts should try this one.

Tap at the Dinner 220 restaurant in Epcot. They added glitter, and bill it as 'Centauri Amber'. Pours a dark, reddish, brown color, with a fair, beige head. The aroma is caramel, cherry, pecan, and black bread. Sweet and malty, with a light, musty bitterness. Light, yeasty, and sharp. Easy and simple.

Pours range gold and smells like apples and pumpkin pie spices. The flavor is sweet with apples, pumpkin, and pie spices. I’d prefer it was a little drier, but I didn’t find it as overly sweet as I find many of their ciders. Fairly good.

Bottle from JR's. Pour is simply a clear pale beer, no head. Perhaps some hints of artificial fruit on the nose. First taste is not as expected, its kinda medicine on the uptake, not sure of the lime, quite hidden. Now I'm getting a warming sensation in the mouth. Yes in the middle its getting rather rude and volatile. Odd sensation of something in there but not sure. A cloying feeling is building towards the end. Getting more difficult as the session continues. Whew. Could have done without this stuff. On the finish, its turning out to be quite a mess. Not good but at least I think I'm finally getting some of the alky effects; I'm producing extra dopamine, it's traveling to the parts of my brain which I call the reward center. I'm starting to feel good and ironically want to do more, but I'm glad I'm at the bottom of the bottle, blah. Simple tasteless sweet alky bomb.

Bottle. Pours sight haze on pale with a rapidly fading head. Odd apple aroma, no real hint of melon or mint on the nose. First taste however, is quite unique. The mint is far forward and the melon follows, then you get the apple. Never tasted anything like this before. Whew, this si something else. Not cloying but pleasantly tart. That mint really adds a kick to this. At times I think; this is not apple cider. But then the apple always comes in to remind me about 5 - 10 seconds after each slug. What an evolution of flavors. Not super great tasting, just something totally different, distinctive and idiosyncratic. After you get thru the middle, the nose seems to take on a different personality fer sher. The overall experience on the finish is unrepeated, quirky and egocentrically eccentric.

12oz bottle. After the reasonable Imperial Porter by Whole Hog I had reasonnably high expectations for this one. Nope. Crappy old school stuff, in the bad way. Rich caramel, thick malts. Burnt caramel, some hop tone, just not enough. Malt Liquor tendencies. I'll finish the glass...but wouldn't want another.

Bottle from Binny's, Bolingbrook. A bit of a deep amber pour, with a fizzy head. Nose does bring in some lime and perhaps a note of cream. Taste has, well, some key lime, then. Graham cracker, though it seems to just come from graham flour. Alcohol comes across like a malt liquor.

Bottle. Pale with perhaps a tad of haze. Mild nose of apples and some apricot, perhaps. Yes, apples and apricot in there on the commencement. Nothing bitter or rude detected, not even any alky, hehehehh. Yea, be careful, you'd never know this an alky containing brew, tastes like soda pop, don't let the kids near it. Yes almost tart and lots of unfermented sugars in this one, hope it don't burn my tummy. Very good giggly middle, goes down really easy. Odd that this barely has any carbonation, almost flat, but not. Finish is like many other cider boy drinks; very flavorful and similar to juice. How could you not like a sodapop? Quite yummy and easy to live with. This is the MO for the ciderboys!
