On draft at the brewpub it is a brown with a slight head. The aroma is of brandy and vanilla. The taste is brandy and has a sweet flavor that lingers on the palate.

Draft! I guess this one is un-retired. Maybe. Jet black color, brown head. Aroma of vanilla, coffee, light brandy. Taste is smooth and boozy vanilla, chocolate bon boms dipped in espresso. Very tasty. Big, but tasty.

Draft at the brewpub. I wasn’t sure about this one since it’s an "Imperial Wheat" - and those can be a little... strange. This one poured a nice, cloudy straw yellow color with a nice medium sized white head. Aroma is a pleasant wheat grain one, bananas, some light clove with pineapple and mild citrus notes. Flavor is nice wheat with a creamy banana character. Nice and tasty.

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a clear amber color with a very small off-white head, dissipated quickly, low carbonation. Aroma is sweet, grapefruit notes, some tropical characteristics. Flavor is light grapefruits, orange, unfortunately a little forgettable for the rest of their offerings, but pretty session-able with my dinner.
