Poured from a 375 ml bottle. Aroma is rich and malty with lots of toffee, dark caramel and tootsie rolls. Notes of burnt sugar, treacle and lighter notes of chocolate, roast and molasses. Lighter notes of raisin, prune and date notes. Medium alcohol and light whiskey notes with some lighter oak notes. Pours black with dark brown hues on the edges with a medium sized, fairly thick, mocha head that recedes fairly quickly to the edges where it lingers as a thin film that eventually disappears. No lacing and super long legs. Flavor is super sweet with lots of malt character. Tons of caramel, toffee, burnt sugar and tootsie rolls. Lighter notes of treacle, chocolate and roast. Some hints of molasses, toasted bread and nuts. Medium light raisin notes with lighter prune and date notes. Fairly high bitterness and moderately strong alcohol notes. Medium bourbon notes and light oak. Mouthfeel is full bodied with medium low carbonation. Low astringency and medium high alcohol warmth. Overall, a big, boozy, dark barleywine. Tons of malt character and alcohol notes that bring with it some dark, candied fruit notes. Barrel character comes through nicely. But this is just too big and boozy of a beer for me these days.

Tap at Gourmet Haus. Pours hazy yellow with soft, moderate sized white head. Lingers king. Aroma is orange. Flavor is orange and wheat. Well rounded mouthfeel.highly carbonated leads to spritzy finish on the palate. --- Beer merged from original tick of Dank Side of the Moon: Hazy West Coast DIPA on 25 Jul 2025 at 20:20 - Score: Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7.5 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7
