Draught at the brewery, 4/2/16.
Dark ebony body has light clarity on the edges and is topped by a small but solid tan head.
Vanilla bean, treacle and bitter chocolate in the nose are joined by some more savory saltiness, charred toffee and such.
Charred, earthy, bready notes abound with dark chocolate and rich vanilla-toffee adding a much-needed balance. With warming, more toffee and treacle emerge and the beer finishes somewhat less intensely roasty. Still, a very aggressively roasty, dark porter but clean and free of alcohol. Carbonation is low, but ample while the texture is slick-to-creamy.

Draught at the brewery, 4/2/16.
Huge white head with strong retention tops a glowing, bright-golden to burnished copper body with a light haziness.
Fruity Belgian esters in the nose are joined by pineapple, mango and tons of citrus. Light pine lingering in the background and moderate toasted malt character backing it all. Definitely gives a light "sour" character from all of these hops and sourdough-like flavors. But the fruitiness keeps it fairly lively/lighthearted and the yeast adds a lovely layer of plaster and minerality.
Definitely given over a bit too much to the specialty malt, as it definitely has a sweet-and-sour-like breadiness. The Belgian characteristics are definitely the highlight here, while pineapple and mango hops add levity and juiciness before being challenged by the heavy citrus and pine on the end. Ample, engaging carbonation is a plus with no alcohol or flaw. Definitely agree with others that the beer is being pulled in too many directions. There’s a lot of maltiness, lots of juicy hops, bitter hops, and lighter Belgian yeast notes that don’t all work together.

Can shared by Lyn, thanks! Slightly hazy deep golden color with a decent bubbly white head. Big citrus earth and pine with hints of juicy fruit and a touch of bready malt to bring it all together. Tasty beer.

On tap at The Blackback Pub, Waterbury, VT.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a dark hazy burnt brown color with a bartender’s pour of a white little head. Light lacing after the head dissipated.
The smell takes in some bitter to roasty sweet coffee beans. Light cocoa powder slides in. Light bitter citrus hops balance in underneath.
The taste was mainly bitter and roasty. Coffee and cocoa are on top of the citrus hops. Light roasty cocoa /coffee aftertaste. Light roasty semi-sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it.
Carbonation runs fairly light allowing a nice smoothness to hit.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good RIS. Citrus seems controlled enough for creativity from the brewer but not go overboard. I’d have again.
