Pours very, very dark brown. I won’t quite call this black. Burgundy brown at the edges. Tan head, medium-sized. Some lacing. Retention is always difficult to judge with a bar pour. Luckily, I don’t care in the slightest. Chocolate in the aroma. Mostly milk chocolate with a bit of depth. Mild roast. Some caramel sweetness. Taste is similar. Mostly chocolate milk. There’s more roast. Mild vegetal hoppiness. Moderate to medium sweet. Finishes with light bitterness and caramel. Medium body. Lighter carbonation than most of their beers. Nice stout.

Great mix of smoke and coffee. Really matches name. Pours black with good head and lacing. A little too much coffee but still super well integrated. Bitter finish. Creamy texture. Thanks to dude for growler taste of this.

Wonderful fresh hops smell and upon first so it even seems like there is some beer in these hops. Lots of grapefruit, pine, and some grass. Big citrus and some light malt. Pours cloudy golden with good head and lacing. Very bitter finish. Growler brought fresh from brewpub tasted thanks to jbassdc from untappd.

Pours a light amber gold color. Darker than most of Cellarmaker’s hoppy stuff but still on the paler end of the DIPA spectrum. Small white head. Growler pour might be affecting that. Little lacing. The aroma is sweet and hoppy. Peaches, white grape juice, pine, some tangerine. There’s some malt sweetness, gets a bit bubblegum-ish. A touch of booze. The taste has a lot of hop flavor but is a bit harsher than I’ve come to expect from Cellarmaker. Lots of that peachy, white grape juice hop flavor. Fairly dank. Big pine note with a dose of resin. More bitterness than expected. Some citrus pith. A bit boozy but not bad for 9% abv. It’s still fairly subdued but there’s more malt charater than I’m used to in their beers. Pretty standard carbonation, maybe a bit low. A touch of hop oiliness. Finish is a bit harsh with booze and bitterness. Good DIPA but probably the weakest of the hoppy stuff on recently. It’s more of an old school, punchy hop DIPA. It’s hard to call it disappointing because the beer is still quite good, but my standards for this brewery’s hoppy offerings have gotten a bit ridiculous.

Half pint draft at the brewery tasting room in San Francisco, California. The pour is mostly clear golden yellow, with a ½ inch white head that is lasting. The aroma is lemon and orange citrus, pine, and mango fruit. Clean engaging nose. The taste is balanced between clean fresh cracker malt and the bright hop notes of the nose - lemon, orange, mango and the taste reveals some grass and resin. The palate is light bodied, fine active carbonation and dry clean finish. Super drinkable beer, tasty.

Draft at the brewery tasting room in San Francisco, California. The pour is clear yellow golden with a small white head. The aroma is pineapple fruit, lemon citrus, hint of resin dank. The taste explodes with flavors, all of the hop notes pineapple, lemon, pine resin along with a clean fresh backbone of cereal grain malt. The palate is light to medium bodied, soft natural carbonation and a clean dry finish. Expertly made beer, tasty.
