Poured from 473mL can (2022 vintage - 13.34% abv). Near black with minimal tan head. Nice aroma, taste needs a little more follow through. Woody oak, chocolate, mild roast, okay.

The closest thing to a local beer offered on tap at Henryβs Bar & Grill in Cathedral City, CA, I got a 16 oz shaker glass serving. It arrived an indistinct, amber-orange in color with a modest cover of totally white foam that later laced well. The scent gave off tropical with a bit of hops. And the taste was tangerine, grapefruit, malt, some pine and biscuit. My opinion is that the beer tilts towards New England style with its sweetness. Fair enough brew, nothing groundbreaking.

16oz can picked up in Carlsbad and drank at my daughters place in Laguna Hills on 12th July 2023. Expected a redder colour and a Rye like taste, but I got neither. Deep golden body, lasting white crown. Citrus nose and initial taste, some light malt action for sweetness and balance. Been to Joshua Tree National Park, so thought I'd try the beer!

You take the lime and the coconut and shake it all up.

Pours black. No real head. Smell is bourbon, oak, roasty grains. Taste is full, very thick, boozy, bourbon, oak, sharp bitterness, both from malts, and (mostly) from roastyness. thick body. low carbo. rather boozy, but hey, at this ABV? Very nice stout indeed.

Pours black with a tan head.Nose shows chocolate, liquorice, booze and hazelnut. As intense as you would expect.Flavours include hot booze, bready malt, chocolate. A fair bit of a solvent note.For a 20.4% abv beer this does reasonably well at keeping the booze balanced with the other flavours... but just not quite there!

22 oz. bottle from Albertsons in Boulder City. Light amber, hazy with small ring of head. Big hoppy aroma, mildly astringent, some citrus, some tropical. Nice medium weight, fruity and floral flavors, tiny dank and earthy notes. Comes together quite nicely.
