Draft at kedzie. From notes. Malty and bready with a little apple. A little on the fizzy side. Decent, but not really my style.

From notes. Draft at kedzie. Molasses, toffee and caramel. Sweet. Way too super sweet for me. Its a good attempt and a decent beer, but i wont be having it again for fear of a diabetic coma.

12oz can poured into a shaker. Pours almost black with a finger of dark brown head. Aroma of coffee and dark chocolate. Taste is light bitter coffee and chocolate with a hint of burnt caramel. Full bodied with a creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, great. This could be a great daily drinker.

Bottle shared during RBWG 2013 - on the bus. Pours clear brown with a tan film head. Sugary dark malt nose. Medium to big sweet flavor with lots of dark malts, molasses, alcohol, dark berries. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Sticky sweet finish with more dark sugars, chocolate. Not bad, but damn sweet.

Pours a slightly pale gold. Looks slightly hazy, perhaps. Just a touch. Very nice puffy white head. Just a ton of tiny bubbles are sitting on top of the beer. Good lacing. Aroma is a pleasant mix of bright citrus and spruce/pine. The citrus is in the direction of orange/tangerine territory. Doesn’t quite have enough juiciness to it. Little bit of tropical hoppiness - pineapple and kiwi. Lots of hops to the taste. Good flavorful citrus upfront. Just a touch of caramel malt flavor, always a positive. Finish is quite dry, though a bit too yeasty. Could use a little more hop flavor, there - improves as it warms up. Still, it has a solid, clean bitterness to it, and I’m enjoying my glass. Easy to drink. No booze to be found. Light on the palate but flavorful. This is a well-made IPA. It’s probably not going to blow anyone away, but it hits all of the right notes, and I’d be happy to drink it regularly.

Sample at The Daily Growler. Pours a nearly opaque brownish-black color with a medium beige head that dissipates slowly to a film. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Medium body with a roasty character and flavors of dark malt, coffee and subtle rye. The finish is chocolate malt with a touch of spicy rye left behind. Above average overall.
