Poured from a can dated 01/09/26 in to a nonic pint glass
Pours deep dark cola brown, almost black with a finger of tight tan head that settles to tight ring leaving a very light bit of lace
Aroma of roast coffee is in the forefront, followed by some sweeter smelling caramel that melds with mocha notes
Taste leads with dark semi sweet coffee, roasty dark malts meld with the caramel moving into the bitter dark cocoa with a slightly ashy bitterness in the end.
Medium body with a medium carbonation, kind of prickly mouth feel, roast malt and bitterness linger in the finish.
Overall I wish this was a bit more smooth in the mouth feel, a touch more body or a bit lighter carbonation might make this one more enjoyable for me. Still I'd come back to this as it's a good coffee porter.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: pale orange haziness with a two finger white foamy head which slid off at a fairly slow pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: perfumey floral to clementine to apricot-like and subtle piney character with a clean biscuity malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas together in a bright juicy bittersweet way; finishes juicy apricot-like
Texture: light to medium bodied, semi-sessionable; clean smoothness to the tongue
Overall: pretty nicely done NEIPA worthy of coming back to
* side note - if my research is correct the brewer brewed this batch #03 with Vic Secret & Topaz hops.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: semi-clear yellow color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which fell off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: clean bready malts, sweet grains and super light floral hops
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a kind maltiness; brisk finish of the malts
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, smooth along the tongue
Overall: some may say this is just another lager and there's not much there and I say this is well brewed with very little flaws and goes well with whatever food you want it with.
