16 oz. can. Clear, straw color, with a small, off-white head. The nose is caramel, strong resin, toast, lavender, and pine. Sweet and malty, with a sticky, assertive bitterness. Medium body, astringent, and clingy. Nice, classic IPA.

Half pour at the brewery. Pours a clear, mahogany color, with a small, beige head. The aroma is apple juice, toffee, pecans, toast, chalk, and whiskey. Sweet and quite boozy. Bold and pretty tasty.

Can states 5.5%, not 6.4. Very restrained--too much so, really--with a light chocolate malt front accented by mild notes of cascara, baking chocolate, and cherry. Light-bodied and drinkable, but the lack of java roastiness or bitterness is apparent. Needs more oomph.

Draft at Angry James Brewery, Silverthorne, CO. Smells like a Tootsie Roll! Nice chocolate flavor with a little bit of light coffee flavor too. Okay. The 6.4 ABV is well hidden.

Draft at Angry James Brewery, Silverthorne, CO. Pitch black pour with a small beige head. Nice roasted dark malts flavor. A little thin mouthfeel for a brown ale but still very good. Clean finish. I like it.

Draft at Angry James Brewery, Silverthorne, Colorado. Clear bronze color. Very pretty pour. Taste is more of a classic German Oktoberfest versus a malty American version. Good caramel flavor, but not quite as sweet as I prefer. Clean and smooth. The 6.3 ABV is well hidden.
