Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark amber close to dark brown color with a two and a half fingers of off-white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark bready notes, some dark fruits, caramel accents and a little bit of cocoa powder
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together in a malty bready way; finishes malty bready
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, bready smooth along the tongue

Can to nonic glass.
Appearance: black in color with a finger's worth of tan foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: thick peanut butter - straight up - sweet nutty and salty (yup, all there); milk chocolate
Flavor: pretty much is the same as the aromas (nothing really different); finishes peanut buttery and milk chocolatey
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable, very smooth along the tongue, and nothing distracting
Overall: this is a very well brewed peanut butter porter!

Reviewed from notes. Batch #03
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 tulip.
Appearance: copper/orange color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: white grapes, sweet oranges, subtle floral hops; nice clean malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a nice bittersweet juiciness; finishes with oranges and floral sweetness
Texture: medium bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper; very smooth and soft along the tongue, very low bitterness
Overall: well, it lives up to it's name and I would come back to this.

Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a nice sweet to roasty quality; finishes coffee forward
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, very smooth along the tongue, light roasty harshness shows some light assertiveness

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.

Tasting at CBJ, thanks to Leighton for the panda. Clear deep amber beer, small and short lived bubbly pale tan head. Light smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth if thin bodied malts, a little caramel and cream. Ripe fruits and a touch of candy fruits on the back end. Light finish. Smooth and drinkable, could do with a little more malt depth.
