Tap at Freshcraft - hazy copper pour - very potent hop characteristics up front, first in the form of complex tropical fruit, but then also in the form of an abrasively strong spicy and peppery flavor - then the wine flavor pops up, bringing with it light tannins, but also a strong boozy character - tastes kind of like someone mixed some cheap boxed wine with what may have been a decent IPA to begin with - arriving late is even more hot, boozy character, combining with the lingering dry hop bitterness to create a flavor not unlike cheap-ass gin - this beer is abrasive and messy in many ways.

Can @ home. Dark brown appearance with a dark brown head. Roasty, nutty malty, rich chocolate, somewhat fruity aroma. A touch burnt, rich dark chocolate malty flavor with a lot of fruity notes (plum, prune) going on, as well as a strong anise note. Actually, I kind of like this Foreign Stout.

Tap @ Tap n Handle Foco. Clear, dark maroon appearance with a huge, off white head. Big mango, grapefruity, passionfruit citrusy, light red wine aroma. Very citrus fruity aroma. Again, tons of citrus fruit (mango, apricot, passionfruit) along with some dark fruit (plum, red grape) in the flavor along with red wine and floral elements. Somewhat strong finish. Interesting beer but not super smooth.

Nearly black pour - nose of milk chocolate, roasted malt, light mineral, some flaws hiding underneath in the form of light DMS/vegetable notes - flavor is of bittersweet chocolate, roast, boiled vegetable notes - very similar to the aroma - a light chalkiness - messy - I give upslope another chance and this is what I get - dang.
