Dark greige head over jet-black beer. Coffee, black chocolate, roasted barley - serious stuff. Cigarette ash, coffee dredges; finish is sweet coffee, served with black chocolate and a dash of mole sauce. Alcohol very present in the finish. Very thick, viscous, voluptuous MF; warming alcohol. Very good Imperial Stout. Txs to the Dewberries!

Towering, light beige stable head over fully hazy foxy-amber beer; fine lace. Already upon opening, powerful fruity hops wafting up, citrussy & exotic fruitlike (passion fruit, lytchee, rosewater and of course grapefruit). Pure lupulin smell. Bitter, but nowhere exaggerated. Citrussy flavour with cakey maltbacking or kletskoppen . Very classical, but all the same quite satisfying. Rather light bodied, slick. Lupulin induced sticky bitterness remains throughout, but yet the beer comes over as primarily fruity-sweet. Very nice, extremely aromatic IPA, if a tad sweet. Many thanks to the Dewberries!

bottle thanks to BgThang, pours hazy copper with a medium white head with lots of spotty lacing. Aroma is huge pine and citrus hops, very green and fresh smelling. Flavor is nice biscuit and toasted malts with a very clean and dry finish of pine and citrus rinds with little hints of peppery rye malts. The mouth of this beer is out of this world. Creamy as hell but just enough carbonation to keep the body lighter and dry out the finish. I’m a fan.

Bottle thanks to legion242. Shared with jcwattsrugger. Pours olive brown. Off white head. Nose of hops, rye bread, caramel malts and peppercorn. Taste is rye, caramel malt and pine. Taste falls a little short from the terrific nose. Still a solid all around brew.
