An unclear, reddish dark brown beer topped by a cute, creamy, finger-thick light tan head leaving lacings. The aroma is a bit weak, with roasted malts, coffee notes and some brown sugar. It’s quite carbonated, full-bodied and semi-sweet, with flavors of roasted malt, chocolate and some coffee. Roasted finish with some sweetness, hints of licorice and some coffee. A pretty nice one. 140118

500mL can, sent from robloc303 (thanks a lot, Rob), pours a fairly clear golden orange with a medium white head. Nose brings out resinous hops, caramel malt, some syrup, and some residual candied sugar. Flavour is extremely well-balanced, with loads of resinous hops, caramel malt, piney, and a little residual candied sugar. Amazingly well-balanced, not skewed at all between either the hops or malt. Finishes slightly sweet and quite hoppy. Excellent balanced IIPA.

From can: Pours black with a tan head. Aroma is sugar, chocolate, and a bit of fruitiness. Nice and smooth foreign stout. Requisite amounts of milky chocolate. More chocolate than roast... Slightly sweet, but in the right amount. Nice and balanced.

Location: 12 oz can from Central Market, 11/18/13
Aroma: The nose is on the lighter side, some caramel/toffee and a little pine/citrus
Appearance: It pours a clear caramel-red color with an off-white head and plenty of lace
Flavor: The taste is light-medium sweet, with caramel malts, and light-medium hop bitterness
Palate: The body is light-medium, it feels a hint thin, with a soft carbonation, and a dry finish
Overall Impression: This beer has an alright flavor to it, and it drinks fine, but it certainly isn't anything impressive. This is the first of a 6-pack, so maybe my opinion will change, but at this point I am not particularly impressed.
