Taster at the Escondido location. Pours black, with a huge, rocky, beige head. The nose is mocha, dusty cinnamon, chicory, and pine sap. Dry and musty, with a mellow, burnt bitterness. Heavy, dusty, and thick. Harsh and abrasive, yet somehow delicious.

Draft at the brewery. Massive cannabis, floral and slight ash aroma was very nice. Black with tan head. Flavor has similar characters as the aroma.

Draft 5 oz pour at Stone, Liberty Station. Reddish brown piut, patchy tan foam head. Glad I could make my first visit here during anniversary time, and try this unique, celebratory brew. Dank piney hops. Some dark malt toasty character, but quite mild compared to others I've had within the substyle. Bold palate. Long lingering dank, weedy hop profile. Really interesting. Enjoyed this one.

10 oz pour at Stone Liberty Station. Well, two 5 oz pours brought by two different servers after ordering one. This beer is so good. I'll allow it. Clean and bright golden pour. Patchy head. Dank nose, piney and citrus hops leaning toward pineapple. Lots of pineapple character on flavor while preventing this from being a fruity IPA. Bold and bitter hop flavors. Absolute standout of a west coast double IPA. Always wished I could try Ruination again. This one is an incredible consolation.

Draft pour pint at Stone, Liberty Station. Cloudy golden pour, thin head. Lots of grassy hop nose. Inviting. Easy drinking highly flavorful session. Bitter bite that lingers and really captures a full IPA feel. Very tasty.
