I think this was my opener. Get it in before the impy styles. In town with the wife for work. Dragging her around after dinner.

Pale, translucent, light froth.
Dank & socks on the nose, very minor woody citrus.
Dank, pine, peppery, lingering white pith astringency.
Sharp, fizzy, okay.

Too fresh & cheesy.

Very dark brown, not quite black, could be translucent. It's a little dim sitting outside. Trust your nose. Weak ring of cocoa.

Smell is warming mole sauce, but cut with acidic cola.
Crazy high acid upfront. More cinnamon & dry cocoa than chilis. Peppers are very prickly but only singe slightly. Lingering oily cocoa nibs, sharp fruit & chalky baking powder. #Dr Pepper.

Didn't like this much.

Something I don't have to add for once...

Dirty brown on black pour, mocoa froth.
Steeped hot chocolate with too much milk & vanilla bean nose.
Semisweet. Carob, bakers chocolate, mellow coffee, chocolate liquor, creme, lingering bittersweet char.
Frothy, a little oily, warming.

Okay enough.

Dense pomegranate hazy pour. One of two incorrectly labeled pours on my flight.

Sour, astringent, veggie & red fruit smoothie nose.
Bittersharp fruit juice, puree, big pog-like flavors but leaning pineapple with a bitter chalky vitamin astringency.
Sizzling acidity & tartness, but semisweet overall.
Kinda blase.

Bittersharp, strong oily lemon, green strawberry, unripe pineapple acidity.
Sharp, full carb, thin.

Liked this.

On tap at MBCC 2025 (Green session), pours a cloudy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma has some dankness, hopburn, and plenty of chalk. Flavour is full of hopburn, tons of chalk, not really any pleasant hop expression. Very poor.
