Bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Pours a thick, dark brown to black with a finger of beige foam that dissipates. Big dark chocolate cacao nib aromas with fudge brownie, light vanilla oak, coffee and toasted coconut. Great, thick body with roasty cacao bitterness, coconut, bourbon and rich chocolate brownie notes. Lingering chocolate, coconut and vanilla and bourbon. Everything comes together well. --- Beer merged from original tick of Olde Rabbit's Foot (collab with) Duck-Rabbit / Olde Hickory on 01 Jul 2018 at 11:02 - Score: 9

4 week old bottle A: Crystal clear pale brassy pour with1/2" of lasting frothy foam and bubbles of various sizes. S: Clean bready scent with apple or pear fruit notes. T: Very dry, bitter and crackery with only a hint of the apple or white grape that linger at the end. Not as grainy as expected. M: Very light bodied and crisply carbonated finishing fairly dry. O: Nice crisp refreshing quencher that should be wonderful with light summer foods. I like it more than I expected to and could drink several.

Fairly hazy copper and bright peach coloured body with a nice two centimetre tall just off-white head that fades fairly quickly and doesn't leave much on top. Aroma of very nice and floral grassy and herbal elements with a lot of the full hop bud noticeable along with some light alcohol and supportive malts and a touch of caster sugar and fruit-based sweetness near the end. Medium to Full-bodied; Deep robust and rich malt flavours that blend perfectly well with the well-hopped and pungent bitterness and floral, dank grassy flavours that come through with all the hops. Aftertaste is a touch floral with some good maltiness, a little dose of sweetness and fruity flavours come through, but the perfumey and herbal character shows through and is quite nice. Overall, a very well-balanced Imperial IPA with a ton of hop elements without a pungent bitterness, but a good span into complexity and more herbal and grassy qualities as well and away from alcohol and pungency. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Good Bottle Company in Charlotte, North Carolina on 09-May-2018 for US$2,75 sampled exactly a month later at home in Washington on 09-June-2018.

Month old bottle A: Poured a big snow white meringue like head atop a pale pinkish gold. Looks like gasoline pouring from the bottle. Kind of elegant looking with big slow bubbles. S: Faint malt and fruity apple scent much like a kolsch. T: Tart fruity flavor tasting more like a weak sparkling wine than a beer. M: Coating soft carbonation and light thin body. Tartness does not impede drinkability. O: Not bad at all but not something I'd buy regularly. Great party beer that really begs to be canned.

Sampled as Lidl Craft Explorers Cream Ale Slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a nice smooth single to perhaps two centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of crisp mellow malts with some biscuit and crackers showing nice dry and very simplistic scents towards the end. Super Light-Bodied; Strong grassy and very biscuity malts with a bit of canned corn, some very light apple and pear like flavour with little else aside from some mild alcohol and dry pungent herbal and grassy flavours towards the end. Aftertaste shows some mellow and dry notes without much complexity - just the depth of the malts and a touch of the astringency of the alcohol noticeable towards the end. Overall, a pretty mild and subdued beer with some yeast, grain, light fruit and definitely malty characteristics throughout without much complexity. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Lidl [Grocery Store] in Manassas, Virginia on 30-April-2018 for US$5,99/six pack by my coworker - Thanks Tom, sampled in my hotel room in Savannah, Georgia on 04-May-2018.

CBS vertical tasting @ Tim's. Thank you for sharing Jon. Dark brown pour, not too much foam just some beige foam. Soy sauce in the nose, leather and dark chocolate, blackberries. Vanilla and bourbon barrel is coming out. Taste is quite intense, bitter and roasty, barrel booze coming through. Chilli heat and lots of spices leasing to bitter and umami-filled finish. Good but well, probably difficult to evaluate after that last beer we had just before this one. Had also 2015 version @ bottle share @ Hansen's, thanks Brandon. Dark pour with some beige bubbles on the top. Sweet toffee nose some bourbon coconut and vanilla. Light peat and some smoke there. Nice liquid chocolate too. tastes sweet creamy some chillies, bit of peat and lots of cocoa, toffee and chocolate. Sweet and creamy with a nice chocolaty chilli tingle. Tasty. Rating moved from 3.9 to 4.1.
