Can from Corti Bros. Pours gold with a moderate creamy white head. Aroma has a lot of mixed fruits - tropicals with an earthy note. Could be full bodied. It's malty, but there's quite a fruit mix and there's just an earthy note with a very slight amount of heat. Lemon/lime, peach, herb, earth, and suddenly I realize there's a lot of pine/resin. Complex and flavorful ale. Very bitter, but not really super harsh.

Waxed, capped 375 from Corti Bros. Pours dark brn/blk with a smallish dark tan head. Aroma of bourbon, dark malt and coconut. Arguably near full bodied. Flavor is bourbon/heat, chocolate, and coconut. Not dry, but not sticky. Moderately bitter from heat and maybe burnt malt. Very good flavor.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours very ruddy amber/copper with a large creamy beige head. Toasty bready aroma with some grass/spice. Med body. Flavor is the aroma, but the Noble hop spice is fairly strong. So malty, but towards dry. Spicy bitter in the Noble way. Very good flavor.
