Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large dark foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt notes, black chocolate with some Belgian yeast phenols is quite nice. Taste is a good mix of roasted malt notes with some black chocolate notes, Belgian yeast phenols with light residual sugar notes. Body is pretty full with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol notes. Solid imperial stout.

To begin with, a statement: this is no abt/quadrupel: this is a stout. An imperial stout, okay, but a stout nonetheless. Stir caused, yet? Let's start the tasting, then: it pours shiny jet black with a tan head that lasts but an instant. Aroma is chickory, coffee, aceto di Modena, soy sauce, blackberry, licorice (sounds like stout or what?) Taste is velvety, soft, low carb. Long-lingering bitterish (bitterish!) finish with evident hints of espresso. Guys, this is a stout.

12 ounce bottle into signature chalice, best before 12/22/2018. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy medium orange/amber color with a 1 finger dense and rocky cream colored head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, caramel, cracker, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. A bit too malty/muddy aromas. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, fruity yeast, and dark/bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, caramel, cracker, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, caramel, cracker, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, fruity yeast, and dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is a very nice fruited English IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, fruity yeast, and dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not aggressive. Nice balance of juicy/dank/earthy Citra hops and ruby red grapefruit; with a balanced bready English malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example. Was probably better fresher.

Pours a hazy amber with a thick white head. Aroma of tropical fruits and Belgian yeast. Taste is fruity, citrus and dry malt dominate. Hops are subtle on the tongue, become more pronounced on the palate. Palate has ferrous notes as well as sharp hops.

Hazy brown. Aroma is cinnamon, dates, figs, dried fruit peel, not so sweet. Taste is harsh sweet malt. Umami. Also cloying. Ok.

0.33 bottle. Spicy sweet aroma, this smells dangerous and stone-fruity. Plummy, dates, sweet and very tasty. Not sweet considering 10.2%... really recommendable.

Gushing bottle. Cloudy haze, low head. Sweet hazelnut, boozy aroma. Medium body, dry mellow. Sugar, Christmas pudding, light smoke, roast, burned sugar, cheapush booze. Dessert.

Bottle, gusher. Rather clear dark brown color with beige head. Aroma is apples, raisins, chocolate, some berries, dried fruit kompot. Taste is apples, raisins, chocolate, dates. Silky mouthfeel with foamy carbonation. Quite good.
