From the can into a pint glass, the appearance was a slightly cloudy, golden-amber color with a one and a half finger white foamy head that dissipated within about forty five seconds.
A decent amount of stringy lacing stuck and then slid into the body.
The smell had a sweet grapefruit, strong piney hops, becomes slightly tropical and then lets in an ample amount of caramel-esque to slight biscuit malts.
The taste took the previously mentioned flavors and added a light zesty grapefruit peel.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable quality about it. Its got a slight crisp yet dry finish.
Overall, I’d say this was a pretty good IPA I’d take to the dome again.

Rather subdued for a DIPA, light bodied, light aroma and light flavor, all of which belies the rather high ABV. Some metallic, Pine Sol notes on the finish, but a decent DIPA overall. Just watch out for that ABV.

Can. Pours a clear amber with a near white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has a good amount of pine with some grass, a touch of bitter citrus and grain backing. Flavor has notes of pine and touches of grass and resin backed by sweet grains.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was black as night with a bar pour’s head, not much there along with barely any lacing.
The smell was roasty, had a light coffee bean, light toast, and some dark chocolate in the background.
The taste was semi- roasty but starts to balance itself a bit by allowing some more of the chocolate to come out.
On the palate, a group deal of roastiness settled in over my tongue with a balance of sharpness to indicate a fair sessionability about it.
Overall, I say this was a good Irish Dry Stout I would have again.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a semi- dark brown color with a slim quarter finger white head. Bar pour didn’t yield much performance for the head or lacing, I’m not worried.
The smell made up for it by allowing a nice nutty roasted malt with light milk chocolate and dark chocolate to balance it in a nice way.
The taste was roasty and sweet, light nutty.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium making a fairly a nice sessionable quality to it.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good brown ale to have again.

Can. Cola brown body with a frothy, off-white head. Aroma of roasted malts, coconut, nuts. Light chocolate, biscuit, metal. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Coconut flavor is nicely integrated into the roasted malts. Sweet coconut trumps bitter hops. Easy drinking.

Can poured to shaker. Nice, medium head lasting just long enough. Dark brown, persistent carbonation. Sweet, dark chocolate and coconut dominant on initial taste, then I got just sweet coconut. Felt good on the palate, but I didn't enjoy the flavors.
