8/19/24 bottling, drunk 8/31/24. Clear, peachy-bronze. White head on the edges. Pine, peach, fruity ester, white bread and honey from the malt. A bit woody but still plenty of juice. Pine, citrus. Kind of bitter and west coast oriented. Not sure why this brewery feels such a need to be clear and bitter. Pretty bland. Dough, bread, pine. Couldn't be more boring and pedestrian.

Restrained and elegant. Offers notes of chocolate, coffee and roast backed up by an espresso-like bitterness and a briny undertone. Very tasty.

Bottled May 10, 2024, drunk July 21, 2024. Clear, dark. Darker beige head, full, well-retained. Roasty, toasty, lightly charred nose with above-average base malt character for its size. Creates a good chocolatey character with a clean, mineral-rich finish. Dry, chocolatey, with graham cracker and chocolate wafer suggestions. Lighter-bodied, though not too much so for its light size. Not over-roasted, though still plenty roasty. Pretty standard dry stout, though the flavors are true and there's a lovely minerality on the finish.

Bottle from Binny's, dated Feb 20, 2024. Mild roast stout malt on top of the nose. Can't quite catch the vanilla here. Opaque brown to black color with a thin tan head. Beer is full of effervescence that's not typical of a stout. Vanilla comes in about halfway through. Nice strong stout malt aftertaste.

Adds a punch of boozy malt sweetness to the normal dry Maine IPA profile, resulting in a wonderfully layered and drinkable DIPA. Citrus and tropical notes on the front end lead to pine and minerals on the back, with a moderate but clingy bitter streak in the fade. Deserves its reputation.

Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a clear pale gold body that supports a thin white head of foam. The modest aroma is mostly fruity apple and pear esters followed by a sense of malts. The taste delivers similar notes with sweet apple and pear fruity esters and then a yeast note as well as vague hop bitterness. Not a good example of the style as it needs to be cleaner and crisper. As is it's somewhat muddled.

5 oz draft. Flavor has a good malt backbone. Showing honey, straw with a very mild mineral character. Soft bitterness to balance. Crisp texture with a clean finish. Well made for the style. Certainly not gonna do a backflip about it.
