Can thanks to Sarah! Pours a clear straw yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has an earthy cucumber with a hint of tart lemon and wheat underlying. Flavor has sour lemon with some wheat and a growing cucumber note.

On tap. Pour black with light head. Aromas of sweet oaky bourbon, brown sugar, and slick toasted malts. Rich flavors follow same, with additional dark caramel, dry graham cracker, vanilla, and chocolate. Very good.

Sample at TeKu Tavern. Slightly hazy orange color with a medium thick white head that dissipates gradually to a film. Partial rings of lace. Stone fruit, yeast and hops in the nose. Medium body with flavors of fresh nectarine, earthy yeast, malt and mild hops. The finish is fruity with a nectarine and yeast aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

12 oz can poured. Provably the most interesting sounding brew in this series that I've enjoyed multiple versions of in the past couple weeks. A blackberry berliner just sounds tasty and refreshing. A grape juice appearance. Reddish, no head that lasts. Tart berry, and quite blackberry specific. Didn't think the flavor would be this true. Juicy, refreshing, and delicious. Is good to hold on to summer with a brew like this as the days get shorter and colder. Solid.

Draft pour pint at Hop and Hound. Really just trying to set the record for place mayorship at this point. Keep pouring the delicious fresh hops and I'll be here everyday at least until they run out. Clean and clear golden pour. A bit of a crisp body to this IPA. Gritty grain, a semi aggressive citrus like hop bitterness. Sharp up front, but ends in a more juicy note. Pretty good brew.

12 oz can poured. Another solid brew from these guys. A dense chocolate brown pour, cola fizz head, espresso brown. Sweet indications on the aroma, milk chocolate, cream, coffee. Coffee roast, sweet milk chocolate, coating flavor that lingers. Solid morning time brew getting ready for a day of football.

207 stamped on the bottom of the can. 207th day of 2018?

A pleasing beer to pour cuz it looks so nice whilst pouring and when you finish pouring. You know what I mean.

Looks black to me, opaque, nice head of tannish foam, great lacing and head retention.

Sure can smell the espresso, smells like the finest caffeine fix I could ask for. Roasty as well...what a shock.

The taste doesn't disappoint as it follows the nose to a tee. Assuming that this was canned in early July, it has held up very well.

Mouthfeel is most suitable.

Coffee and beer really do compliment each other when done right. Like this one.
