Bottle (bomber) to tulip. Consumed 12/10/2017.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a thin cap of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: thick fudge-like to brownie-like chocolatey rich tones with black coffee and caramel/toffee lingering indulgent sweetness with fresh sprucy/pine needly hops in the middle; subtle boozy sweetness
Flavor: pretty much is spot on of the aromas in a very sweet decadent quality with a subtle roasty tone underneath; finishes extremely rich and decadently sweet
Texture: full bodied; this is a sipper; great smoothness along the tongue with just a little bit of alcohol noted but seems not very bothersome; good carb level
Overall: what a big boozy stout and one I would welcome again!

On tap at Hinesburg Public House
Appearance: burnt orange slight hazy to cardboard brown color with a finger's worth of dissipating frothy head which didn't leave much lace
Aroma: herbal to green peppery to slightly floral with a touch of papaya - noted hoppy tones; clean bready malty underneath
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine herbal sweet to papaya-ish sweet vibe; finishes semi-crisp with a light dryness and papaya/herbal note (kinda odd way this finishes)
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; good smoothness with good carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: pretty nicely done NEDIPA I think I could come back to despite the odd finish (I kinda feel like it's something to get used to)

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: clear yellow color with a finger and a half's worth of white frothy head which dissipated in a messy way and left some messy lace
Aroma: sweet biscuity to bready malts; light notes of freshly cut grass along with some floral hop tones
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine malty sweet quality; finishes semi-dry with a touch of sweet floral tones
Texture: light bodied; very sessionable; clean smoothness - nothing distracting anywhere - just a good even flow; good carb level
Overall: nice enough lager worthy of crushing again and maybe next time straight out of the can.

Appearance: stiff looking chill haze burnt orange color with a half a finger of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: piney, mixed citrusy, mango, papaya, lemony and herbal hop tones intertwine nicely; light clean biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet earthy/herbal onto a semi-tropical hop combination with a stealthy malt backbone; finishes like a mixture of tropical hops in a semi-earthy to herbal fashion
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; wonderfully smooth along the tongue with a nice low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: a very nicely done NEIPA worthy of returning to.
