Deep opaque brown-black body, thin light brown head. Aroma leathery with oak, molasses, coffee, and roasted malts. Dense and sticky-sweet body with charred marshmallow, prune, vanilla, and fruit leather that quickly become cloying. It's really hard to find a stellar pastry stout it seems.

Murky medium orange-brown body, medium dingy cream head. Aroma light tropical juice and nectar. Body punchy guava, lime, and red grape with a nice round peach/melon underbelly. Really nice.

Cloudy medium orange body, puffy cream head. Aroma tropical/stone fruits and orange peel. Creamy body, tropical with mango, papaya, carambola, and citrus rind. A touch of lime. Very nice and flavorful.

Cloudy medium orange body, thick/medium cream head leaving lots of lacing. Aroma dank with sweet papaya, pineapple, and candy cigarettes. Juicy body with a big tannic leafy bite; moderately sweet but less so than suggested in the nose. Prickly on the tongue with some chalkiness.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish gold with a finger of soapy, white head that dissipates. Lovely aromas of white grape, tangerine pith and mango skin. Palate shows similar fruity notes. The problem as usual with Wax Wings beers is that they are too soft and lack carbonation on the palate....one of the key elements to a WCIPA is missing. Nice hop bill though.

Undated can from 8 Degrees Plato, warm shelf, drunk 6/8/24. Mango-orange smoothie. Small, yellow head immediately fizzles out. Mango-vanilla-orange smoothie nose. Not punchy on the sourness. Round citrus tones, sweet malts, biscuity wheat. Easygoing. Good mix of sweet and tart. Fruity with light vanilla, citrus acidity, bursts of honey and caramel and a lingering light bitterness/acidity.

Brown Iron draught, 6/8/24. Heavy haze. Lemon-brass. Small, creamy, white head, slowly to spotty cover. Nice mix of juicy and West coast hops. Lemon, gentle pine, hint of pineapple. Very estery yeast. Cracker malts and no resin with orange and mango lingering. Soft, creamy almost with big malt up front but an equal addition of bitter, piney hops. Lemon, orange, mango rind. Lingering lemon, pine, biscuity malts. Ample body and higher than usual attenuation for WW. Maybe just a touch of borderline soapiness on the very end.

Undated can drunk 3/25/24. Moderately hazy, bright tangerine-maize-golden. Large, frothy, well-retained, white head. Fresh yeast, clean and snappy with a good, estery fruitiness and augmented by light pine, spice and mild tropical fruit. Some citrus rind, biscuity malt and no alcohol, resin or flaw noted. Juicy and malty, quite a bit so, as WW is. On the sweeter side with lush melon, juicy tropical fruit and mild citrus bitterness. Excellent flavors, of course, with interesting hops, but just a bit more sweetness than I'd prefer.
