7/10
Caramely malty, piney and resinous with some grassy hops, pine, grapefruit and floral notes, hints of sweetness. Quite old skoolish west coast DIPA, but could've used a bit more bite and bitterness

Tap at Higgins. Super roasty nose on black beer with medium head. Light sweetness, full body, great well rounded flavor. I don't get a lot of cacao flavor but there's a background hint which is excellent blending. Mild bitterness.

Can brought by Chris, thanks! Red amber, spicy-hopped caramel nose. Big caramel flavor, woody notes, smooth moderate bitterness. Nice winter style beer.

Clear amber. Aroma is chestnut light peach. Taste is bitter grassy and herbal hops with light fruity notes but almost no sweetness. Pretty rough. Alright.

Can from the brewpub, thx Jonas! Shared with him, SinH4 and Ursula. Bronze body, clear, some small off-white head. Floral-caramelly aroma. Lean taste, mostly caramelly, creamy, ending dry, slightly herbal-bitter, slightly socky in the finish.

0.33l can, courtesy of and shared with Jonas who got it at the Higgins Tap Room. Thaaanks! Slightly hazy golden body, lasting ivory head, thick. Interesting aroma, citric candy, herbal notes, resin and wormwood, some floral touches and maltiness, bit uneven. Lean, dry taste, citrus candy drops ending towards a herbal bitterness, lightly earthy-resinous. I mean, it's pretty much what it is, fine bitterness, lightly restrained but big enough not to complain. Simple, works!
