Bottle. It pours a dark, dark brown body and a small, dense, beige head. Lots of coffee on the nose, with a solid dose of chocolate and roasted malts. Toffee tending towards butterscotch too. It’s full-bodied and semi-dry, nicely carbonated. Toffee chocolate and coffee in the flavor. Some hints of piney hops giving a little bitterness. Slightly metallic in the end. Overall, a quite nice one, but nothing impressive. 111125

Bottle from the Folsom BevMo. Pours medium copper with a slight off-white head. The aroma is rich. Touch of candy. Fruit. Med plus body. Flavor is hard to pin down. After a bit kandi is clearly present. Almost a toffee touch. Then it’s like a mix of ripe stone fruits - heat is not detectable in the mouth or throat, but the alcohol vapor is eyeball detectable I think. Going straight to the brain on an empty stomach. This is a heck of an impressive beer for the price. I’m starting to imagine a touch of darker fruit. Given time I think I could imagine almost anything about this beer.

bottle pours light gold with a thick white head. Aroma is wheat, bubblegum, big floral honey notes. Flavor is light pale grain, almost gritty buckwheat with big saison yeast notes that are floral but also sting the pallet with grassy/metallic notes. Not bad.

Bottle. An unclear, dark amber beer with a quite small, light beige head. Piney, citrus-peelish aroma with caramel maltyness. Seems to be a bit old this one. Medium body, quite dry, with flavors of caramel malts, citrus peel and some, but not enough, bitterness. Bitterness and caramel in the finish. Not very interesting this one. Not bad, but just uninteresting. 111105
