7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Canned 11/4/22, drunk 9/10/22. Dark. Tan head shows low retention. Can smell the habanero, though it isn't obnoxiously dominant or anything. Light cocoa, fudge and mild roast also exist alongside it. No alcohol or flaw. Like the others, no excessive sugar. Malty and well-attenuated with fudge and cocoa balancing the the spicy habanero. It's solidly spicy, yet not intensely so, still allowing the vanilla, roast, fudge and cocoa notes to be observed. Soft, malty texture, very low sweetness, but appropriate chewy heft for the size.

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Canned 11/4/21, drunk 9/9/22. Ebony, small dark, beige head shows moderate-low retention. Sticky caramel and toffee with excellent acidity and something like light prune and fudgey chocolate. Light vanilla. Wouldn't guess churros, but whatever it is, it's richer than the base Cold Brew Stout here. No flaw or alcohol. Excellent intensity for its size. Similarly, in the flavor, it's rich, malty, well-attenuated, with no excess sugar or syrupy character. No lactose and no dominant adjuncts. Just roasty/chocolatey malts with coffee and vanilla. Lingering fudge, caramel, raisin and a very soft, even texture overall.

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Canned 11/5/21, drunk 9/8/22. Ebony. Medium-sized, dark beige head of moderate retention. Lovely nose showing a lot of richness above its size. Light fudge, caramel, dark chocolate and well-integrated coffee. Strong floral/vanilla overlay with no alcohol or flaw. Nice and chewy in the mouth with light fudge and dark chocolate and a good roastiness from coffee and barley. Very attenuated leaving very dry through the middle and exceedingly so on the finish. Well-integrated cold brew and lingering toast, vanilla and molasses with mild dark fruit. Very nice balance. Impressive body and flavor for its size.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Aromas of green pineapple, wild blueberry, dank and crackery malt notes. Dry on the palate with pith, citrus, dank and more berry skin notes. Drying finish with some light berry that shines through.

6.3/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6.5 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish salmon pink with two fingers of foam that lingers. Very lime focused nose with some cherry cola notes. More of the same on the palate, much more soda like than beer like. Cherry and lime on the finish. A fruited pale lager, but refreshing.

Pint can from Festival Northland, 4/9/22 (barely). Hazy orange, floating particles. Medium foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of pineapple, pale malt, soap. Taste is pineapple, lemon, lime, dank. Juicy, hint of bitterness. Weird, not well put together, but for some reason I really like it.
