Bottle shared. Thanks Gregg! Huge milk chocolate nose that just never ends with vanilla and cream with some light coffee and coconut as it warms. Oak undertones pop out on the palate with some bourbon and tons more chocolate. I can’t believe this is 15 percent. No alcohol and it drinks like chocolate milk. Alcohol is unbelievably hidden well. Not much else to say besides chocolate and booze hidden. Solid, but definitely a sweet bomb.

Can. Orange, mango, caramel malt, pine, and grapefruit peel aroma. Golden yellow with giant off white head. Very sweet creamy orange caramel and moderately strong bitter grapefruit peel flavor. Good body - pretty sweet but not overly so. Pretty good.

Pours dark, not much carbonation but that’s not the point anyway. Aroma is full of vanilla, nice milk chocolate. Tastes like liquid cookie, alcohol is well hidden, no way there is 15 percent of it. Cocoa, chocolate, syrupy and very sweet. Bitterness is coming out in the aftertaste. Best sweet beer I have had.

Over the top sweet coconut and chocolatey nose with vanilla and oak playing in the background. Super big body, tons of coconut, roasted cocunut, chocolate, sweet as hell, lots of nuts, would be awesome with my wife’s homemade granola and smells kinda like that, so much chocolate. For 15% it is insanely well hidden, though there is just a bit of a burn. Never cloying, but a bit too sweet, but the depth is incredible.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy golden amber color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big lemon, tangerine, grapefruit, juniper berry, pear, pineapple, apricot, lemon/orange peel, peppercorn, pine, coriander, clove, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, cracker, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/pine hops, fruity/earthy yeast, spices, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, tangerine, grapefruit, juniper berry, pear, pineapple, apricot, lemon/orange peel, peppercorn, pine, coriander, clove, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, cracker, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Good amount of pine/citrus rind/herbal bitterness, yeast spiciness, and slight fruit tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, tangerine, grapefruit, juniper berry, pear, pineapple, apricot, lemon/orange rind, peppercorn, pine, coriander, clove, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/pine hops, fruity/earthy yeast, spices, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and minimal lingering astringency after the finish. Moderate dryness from bitter/spiciness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, fairly sticky/resinous, and lightly grainy/creamy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a light warmth lingering after the finish. Overall this is a very nice Belgian DIPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/pine hops, fruity/earthy yeast, spices, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the big ABV. A very enjoyable offering.
