Bottle. Nose is some soy, chocolate, cream. flavor is soy with lots of umami, dark chocolate. Sweet, but not too much. A bit bland, but decent.

On tap at Vermont Tap House.
Though they poured this into a tulip, I get what’s going on as if it was poured into correct glassware.
The appearance was a burnt glossy orange color with a thin white bar pour’s kind of slim white head that dissipated immediately. No lacing.
The aroma has oily fresh green hops, semi-sticky resinous, subtle floral, light backing malt.
The flavor rides the gamut of the previously mentioned aromas, semi-sweetly with a balancing bitter. Rides on in together on into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation rides at a nice pace. Nice bitterness sticks but still feels good.
Overall, Imperial pilsener, yup, works for me, damn nice.

Sampled on draft at Smokin’ Joe’s this beer poured a dark amber color with a medium sized foamy white head that left good lacing. The aroma was sweet, yeasty, buttery and perfumey. The flavor was buttery, perfumey and awful. Medium length finish. Medium body and smooth. Disgusting.

Bottle drunk from the bottle outside a bus station on 7/24/16. Well they nailed the coriander. Damn. Thats basically the entire nose. Maybe some honey and biscuit. Very low on the hop character. Not even very citrusy. In the mouth it tastes like coriander and little else. Fairly dry, lightly malty. Some fruitiness but mostly just peppery, vegetal coriander. Congratulations on dumping a shitload of coriander in to your beer.
