Pours oily black with a thick, fluffy, brown head. Aroma of bourbon, molasses, malt. Taste has more bourbon, heavy coconut, some malt sweetness that contrasts with the boozy notes. Palate has more booze on the nose, some burnt malt. Good.

16 oz can shared by Tfontana on the share! Mocha colored head that was very fizzy. Aroma with strong peanut butter and roasted malt. Flavor is boiled peanut, chocolate and a very soft touch of vanilla. Body is full with a creamy texture. It’s a pretty nice stout !

Can from the brewery. Cloudy dark yellow-light brown with tons of sparkle, decent head with good retention and soapy lacing. Aroma is strong pineapple rind, pineapple, orange, citrus, caramel malt. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation, finish as taste. Achieves the hardest thing in a triple--cover the alcohol. Beyond that, decent aroma and flavor but not a favorite profile.

Can from the brewery. Pretty, clear rose with tons of sparkle, no head or lacing. Aroma is strong pale malts, dragon fruit, light tart fruit and hint of earthy roast. Taste is mix of sweet/tart rock candy, late earthy, roasted malt. Frothy texture, average carbonation and finish as taste with light lingering bitterness. Pretty beer with some unique features. Excellent strength for ABV and malts are especially hearty (bordering on Brown Ale/Dry Stout).

Clear bronze, small, white head.
Pine, not resinous, with white bread and honey. Juicy woody citrus and such.
Malty, very malty, actually. Light wood, pine, floral. Soft and malty. Maybe a bit too much so? Decent bitterness. Clean, well done.

16 oz can shared by Tom. TY. Aroma and flavor are a match. Aro a is weak at nest. Mild hints of citrus and subtle herb. Some crystal / caramel like malt background. A bit more caramel then I want in a IPA.
