Pours petty dark brown, beige foam film o the top, leaving some lacings. Aroma is toasty, lots of roast malts there, black burt rye bread and soy sauce. Quite bready. Taste reveals relatively weak body, still packed with roast character and more burnt black bread. Soy sauce salt and dry burnt charcoal in the finish. Not bad, does have quite some character for this 6%.

Pours chestnut, quite clear and with just a hint of foam. Nose has some burnt sugar and a bit of nail polish. Burnt rye and bitter caramel. Taste is also sweetish, caramel and burnt sugar dominate - while I am still getting this weird hint of nail polish (which is not that bad but still slightly disturbing) and then this burnt rye character that is quite nice. Aftertaste sweetish and bitter. Overall not bad but this nail polish thing does not really do it for me.

Clear whitish yellow, not much foam and no lacings. Aroma has some kid candy, sweet and fruity. Taste reveals a mouthful of gummy bears - just gummy bears, nothing else. No bitterness, no sourness, surprisingly still pleasant and drinkable but well, not really a gose. Some dry chalk in the aftertaste, maybe just a bit of bitterness also. I can drink this.

Slightly hazy golden amber color. Lots of stonefruit, bread and grapefruit. Heady. Lovely leafy mouth tons of grapefruit. Modest bitterness. Mouthfeel is a bit watery. Definitely getting towards a NE IPA but falls a bit short in look and mouth. Still I love this

It seems to now be called Loco-nut Porter which I found cute and clever. A cola black pour with a thick beige head. Big coconut aroma but it seems like extract. The taste is syrupy sweet coconut, some chocolate but too sweet in my opinion. I ended up blending it with the Founders Imperial Stout (10.5%) which made for delicious beer and thickened up the Loco considerably while also cutting back that sweetness.

2015 vintage shared at an Asahiya Event. Beautiful clear blonde n color with a spicy aroma. The taste is very well defined coriander but it is not overpowering. Quite drinkable.

End of the keg at Gremlin. Hazy copper with a bunch of soapy foam. Big pine and resiny aromas. Bitter on the palate with a lot of pine. Dry and bitter finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Centennial IPA on 24 Oct 2016 at 01:32 - Score: 6. Original review text: End of the keg, not doing it for me. Piney and abrasive....

2016 vintage I assume. Hazy deep copper with a little beige foam on top. Very fruit forward nose with apple and pear dominating. Some light cinnamon notes as well. Light hoppy, bitterness and sweet honey like notes on the palate. Feels a tad heavy but thats OK I guess. Light bitterness on the finish with some grassy notes. A little green I think.

Men. Buttery with a bit of malt. Sweet and boozy.

This should be 2016 vintage, had it on tap at Gremlin. pours nice amber, bit of haze, and a few bubbles on top. Aroma is sweetish, with some green apple notes and strong malt backbone. tastes similar, creamy with some bitter hop edges, feels somewhat green overall. Probably this one is just too fresh and needs some more ageing. Perfect if they did that ageing in barrels but maybe even just letting this stay for a bit would benefit the experience.
