Sampled from a can this beer poured almost black with a large fluffy brown head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was bitter and roasty with light coffee and vanilla cream. The flavor was bitterish, toasty and a bit roasty with a hint of caramel, light vanilla cream and a touch of coffee. Medium length finish. Medium bodied and smooth.

I thought this 16 oz pounder can was the same as the gnome, but I guess its not, it has a lighter ABV about it. First taste is sweet and somewhat cloying. Aroma of a vienna lager. Pretty good co2 but that sweetness on the palate keeps sticking its little head up like the whack a mole game. Yes, some weird sharper bitter feeling begins to hang around, almost astringent at times. Difficult and almost medicinal in flavor near the middle. Different, but it needs a little civilized lesson in manners. This can't be in the same style as Frankenmuth Old Detroit Amber Ale, North Peak Siren Amber Ale, Atlanta Laughing Skull Amber Ale or even Petrucci Brothers Amberlynn. Those guys are well behaved compared to this rough riding beer. A little disappointing in the end.

Can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth light malts, a light creamy sweetness. Smooth piney hop. Smooth orange and tangerine citrus. Vwry light tropical fruits. Smooth finish. There is nothing shouty about this dipa at all, it's just a nicely brewed, smooth and drinkable libation that I could drink a lot of.
