Can to snifter.
Appearance: black in color with a thin film of a khaki foamy head which dissipated inward to leave some concave lace
Aroma: black coffee, roasty tones, smoke, dark fruits, earthy scents, and some musky vibes
Flavor: roasty to smoky with an underscore of sweet & earthy hints offer up a nice combination then finishes somewhat earthy and roasty & smoky
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper, some smoothness then that musky to earthiness I smelled earlier seemed to be the trigger to the dryness
Overall: I liked this impy stout, it seems a bit different than alot of others I've had but I could have this again.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: ruby red color with a thin pink foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: blackberry sweet and tart scents, light funk, earthy sharp toned acidity, lemony tart further underneath
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas nicely to a great sour to tart quality; mild finish of blackberries and earthy funk
Texture: medium bodied, leaning to being a sipper; light smoothness as the earthiness creates quite a dry yet somewhat grip on the tongue
Overall: nicely done sour saison with blackberries, I would very much love to have this again.

The mild aromas are citrus, resin, wet grain and malt. Flavors are similar to nose. Just barely sweeter than bitter or tart. Reasonable body and carbonation. Drinkable but nothing special.

Can from Tavour. Pours hazy gold with a large white head that slowly laced down. Aroma has a lot of citrus and maybe some green melon. Med plus body. It's juicy but not all that sweet. Definitely bitter. The surprising thing is that weed in fairly dank form has jumped in front of the citrus. Grapefruit/orange. Green melon not in it. Could be some passionfruit given prickles. Back to weed. Super flavor!

750 ml bottle purchased at Lavada Wine Shop in Overland Park, Kansas shared at a tasting. BATCH #6 - JAN 2022 on the label. The pour is a hazed yellow, soft gold with a foamy white head that falls quickly. The aroma is soft funk, grass, floral along with some leather. The taste is the softly funky lemon citrus, the grass, and dry leather and more subtle funk. The palate is medium bodied with soft carbonation, and unfiltered mouth feel and an interesting floral and dry leather finish. The citrus lingers in the aftertaste. More refined than I was expecting, smooth and easy drinking.
