16 oz can at RI. Brewfest 2023. Aroma is lemon with yeast. Flavor shows me Belgian yeast, and pretty bold citrus. Cereal comes office address. I mean it is what they say it is.

Taster pour on tap at Rhode Island Brew Fest. It's an opaque black with ring of light brown head, thin sheen of viscosity and light lacing. Aroma is moderately strong earthy, roasted malt over coffee. Taste is strong roasted coffee, mild chocolate. Mouthfeel is medium-to-full bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste without much bitterness. Overall, not huge, huge coffee for a monster but delicious.

Taster pour on tap at Rhode Island Brew Fest. It's a hazy medium brown (like pale maple syrup), decent sparkle, thin ring of beige head and trace lacing. Aroma is strong maple, caramel. Taste is strong, strong maple (like drinking maple syrup), caramel. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, very strong maple so if that's what you're into, this is for you. But, it obscures the base beer so could be better balanced.

Can. Pours opaque milky murky yellow with a white head. Aroma: dank hops, alcohol. On the taste it's moderate sweet & bitter with pronounced hop burn. Little sips are just about bearable but larger gulps just taste of raw alcohol, like paint thinner. How on earth a brewery can release a beer this bad is beyond me. Unbalanced with zero refinement. Medium to full body with moderate carbonation
