Can at the brewery, 12/19/24. Dark. Clear with deep auburn highlights. Large, light tan head slowly fades to cover. Bright mix of wintergreen and pine-like hops with mild chocolate and mild roast. Some caramel underneath. Very clean and polished. Juicy, rich, citrusy and wintergreeny hops on a slightly syrupy-chocolatey body with minimal roast. Big flavors but drying out nicely on the finish with moderate bitterness and lingering chocolate and hop spice. Fresh yeast. Clean. Alchemist still crushing it....

Pint can. Pours a hazy yellow color with a huge white head that has decent retention. The aroma is a big blast of mixed fresh citrus. The taste is grapefruit, melons and orange pith. The palate is full and viscous with soft carbonation. Finishes long with lingering bitter orange pith. Overall: Decent, this was ground breaking stuff back in 2011 but today its just another dipa

Notes from March 2009 Belgian Milk Stout according to the chalkboard. Half inch of harshly carbed mocha head, over a dirty brown on black body. Cold, it smells a little like weak French roast. Warming up, I get coffee creamer & cocoa powder, bark, & surprisingly clean yeast(where are the Belgian phenols?). Very mild bitterness, roasted malt flavors minus most of the coffee flavors that tend to go with it(which is a positive for me). Grainy brown sugar, lactose & vanilla wafers; a bit leafy. Finish is a touch lactic, delivering the rest of its roast & most of the alcohol along with it. Good cask potential. Carbonation was on on the high side, but the body still had a great velvet-like feel. The alcohol detracts slightly, but overall, a really nice beer. Availability is really the only serious problem. :)
