750ml bottle thanks to Steve. Pours out a hazy orange juice color topped with a white head. Nose is nice tropical fruit hops citrus and some sweetness. Taste is more of the nice sweet tropical fruit hops and a bit of melons.

Bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo. Pours a deep brown to black with purple highlights. Lots of maple in the nose with faint blueberry notes. More blueberry on the palate with maple and a kit-kat wafery-like texture on the palate. Lingering maple and blueberry. Interesting, but not my cup of tea.

Bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Lots of coffee and dark chocolate milk in the nose with maple and caramel underneath. Smooth and sweet on the palate but the coffee brings some roasty bitterness to balanced out the sweetness. Smooth finish with more chocolate and caramel with maple syrup lingering on the finish. Mikerphone does these pastry stouts at a high level. Not mad at all with their beers even as I am moving further away from hazy IPAs and pastry stouts.

Bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo. Big, black forrest cake aromas on the nose. Some coffee and cacao nib bitterness with some cocoa powder like texture. Lots of dark chocolate cake with lots of sweetness. I do think that the cacao bitterness cuts into the sweetness and balances it pretty well. Very pastry though, but well-executed.

Bottle thanks to AJ. Pours black with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong maple, vanilla, cinnamon, roast. Thick body, dark chocolate, maple syrup, roast, boozy finish, enjoyed this.

Bottle shared. Pours a deep brown with a finger of beige head that lingers. Dark cacao nib nose with some faint coconut aromas. Smooth on the palate and creamy, with coffee and chocolate...coconut is there, but fairly muted. Lingering chocolate on the finish. Not bad, but not as stellar as some of their other drops.

Bottle shared at Zack's Epic Tasting. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of foam that lingers. Huge cinnamon forward nose with kitkat wafers...vanilla as it warms. Lots of creamy dark chocolate on the palate with more kitkat wafers and cinnamon. Barrel is there, but doesn't rear it's head until later. Smooth with lowish carbonation but adjuncts are really well done here. Stellar.

Smooth and creamy on the palate. More apricot and guava, lots of creamy lactose and vanilla. A little vanilla bean pod bitterness on the finish. Nice stuff.
