On tap at Vermont Tap House, Williston, VT on 08/21/2021.
Appearance: dark brown close to black with a bar pour's kind of slim eggshell white foamy head which slipped off nicely and barely left any lace
Aroma: the maple, coffee roast and coffee sweet tones up front with some milk chocolate and dark chocolate in the middle then some sweet tones of bacon-ish & salty whiffs far down in there
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet & roasty quality and once again, the semi-sweet & salty bacon tones are hidden way in the back; finishes maple and coffee toned
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning to being a sipper; good smoothness and nothing really distracts the beer from staying smooth all the way down
Overall: nice enough milk/sweet stout but there wasn't a whole lot of bacon.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a two and a half fingers of eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet coffee, roasted coffee tones, subtle ash, sweet maple, light caramel/toffee malts and a little bit of chocolate
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to roasty quality; finishes coffee sweet with maple notes
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning to being sessionable, good smoothness
Overall: nice enough milk/sweet stout that has what Aslin says are there.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: golden yellow to copper color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some papaya, mango, light mint and tangerine hop notes; light clean malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine juicy bittersweet quality; finishes papaya to mango-like
Texture: medium bodied, between being sessionable and being a sipper as there's some smoothness but also somd hop assertiveness
Overall: when it's not a milkshake IPA, sometimes Aslin can brew some good ones and I don't know if that minty scent was intentional or not. I'd come back to this.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: brassy orange/copper color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mango, pineapple, coconut and vanilla; clean malts
Flavor: juicy sweet through the prior noted aromas and with a big vanilla/lactose and sweet creamy aspect combining here; finishes very mango forward and creamy
Texture: medium bodied, I guess sessionable (there's nothing really distracting) and very smooth and creamy along the tongue
Overall: I like NEIPA's but these milkshake IPA's, eh, oh I dunno. Just telling myself - "go onto the next beer, Adam."

Appearance: thick orange color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: grapefruit, peaches and papaya hop notes, light clean malts
Flavor: blends the previously noted aromas to a fine juicy sweet to bitter quality; finishes grapefruity and peachy
Texture: about medium bodied - maybe a touch under, some sessionability about it; juicy smooth along the tongue; low hop bitterness
Overall: nicely done NEIPA worthy of coming back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: bright orange color with a two finger white foamy head which slipped off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mangoes and pineapples and a light sugary sweetness; lots of sweet cream and lactose
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together in a pretty sweet to juicy sort of way; finishes creamy with the mangoes
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; very smooth and creamy along the tongue
Overall: one of these milkshake IPA's I thought I'd give a chance and ended up thinking I'm exactly thrilled with this style. Hmmmm...eh...

Appearance: pale orange haziness with a finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace

Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a good bittersweet semi-juicy character; finishes orangey/lemony/piney
Texture: medium bodied - maybe a touch over; mostly sessionable; pretty smooth along the tongue
Overall: nice enough NEDIPA pretty worthy of returning to.
