Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours hazy golden with a medium white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, stingy, grass, dank, orange creamiscle, peach and apricot yoghurt. The taste is slick, soft, sweet, sticky, apricot, peach, nectarine, mild spice, raw, grass, straw and light alcohol with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Soft, sweet and easy drinking. Not much depth.

Bottled on 12/14/16.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt yellow to orange juice color. A one finger white foamy head quickly dissipated and left some sticky messy lacing.
The aroma started off with some big bitter grapefruit rind, bold and fully up front. Then a bitter sprucy-like bitter hoppiness.
The flavor leads with the bitterness and then let’s in some sweetness of the hops. Lingering bitter piney aftertaste crushing the finish smoothly.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a great crushability of it. Mild carbonation definitely feels good.
Overall, nicely done sessionable IPA that I would love to have again with some Summer barbeque

Poured into an English pint glass, the appearance was a rich dark black color with a sustaining finger’s worth of off white foamy head. Damn, the head doesn’t seem to want to dissipate. It must have hung there for a good 4 minutes before wanting to die at all. Semi-thick foamy lace does cling nicely.
The aroma takes on huge bittersweet pine, thick sprucy/coniferous bitter hops. Dark roasted coffee bean arranges nicely underneath. Subtle dark chocolate further underneath.
The flavor leads with the bittersweet sprucy/coniferous hops. Cocoa to coffee bean bitterness strolls right on in, fairly dry and bitter. Dry roasty to sprucy aftertaste leading into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a crisp drying sprucy/piney gripping bitter harshness.
Overall, not a brown ale, but a black IPA, as it even brings that palate wrecking capability normally associated with the style. I would have again as a black IPA.

Bottled on 12/07/16.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a golden amber color with a fair transparency about it. Half finger white foamy head that sustains for a little bit and then dissipates nice and even.
The aroma starts off with a sweet papaya, pineapple and mango. Bittersweet pine develops as it warms and plays with a crisp sweet underlying malt.
The flavor starts with that tropical juicy sweetness and rolls right on into the pine which is fairly bitter with a crisp bitter piney aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation and quite low, subtle soft feel still, with a sly bitter harsh bite.
Overall, nicely done west coast styled AIPA by Frost. The malt level is lower than a lot of other west coast IPA’s but I liked this one mainly for me.

Bottle. Hunger Mountain Co-Op, Montpelier, VT. Bottled four days ago. Pale gold. Light haze. Thin, lasting, white head. Nose has Ratebeer is fucked and I’m soon not going to be bothered with the whole debacle. I really can’t be arsed.

Thanks Doug.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color with a nice sustaining finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated gently. Messy lace.
The aroma starts with some fresh piney/semi sprucy needles roaming into some breadiness and then some black pepper and white pepper. Lemongrass and sage compliment nicely.
The flavor leans to some sweet piney hops and sweet bready contours hit appropriately up front. The spices hit right for the balance. Sly bready sweet to semi-spiced aftertaste slyly moving into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it despite it’s ABV. It’s fairly smooth for the most part.
Overall, its basically an imperialized saison, but due to the ABV, and piney bitterness, that’s why it’s labeled as a DIPA on ratebeer. It’s good. I could have this again.

Bomber. Craft Beer Cellar, Waterbury, VT. Label doesn’t state a number, just says, "a little plush like". ABV / IBU is the same. I’m not convinced. Anyhow, it looks a bit of a juicy banger. Cloudy gold. Very sticky, thin, dense, white head. Nose has peach and melon. Cheesy hop. Some pine needle. Hint of white grape. Taste is soft, zesty, juicy bitter. Lots of fruit. A little dryness. Smooth mouthfeel. Drinks under the ABV. Pretty clean overall. Finishes zesty and juicy bitter. Nicely balanced and drinks easily. On par with the neighbours.

650 ml bottle with a bottling date of 11/2/16 purchased at CBC Waterbury, VT. Deeper, murky brown color, thin lasting white head. Aroma is a lot of roasted coffee bean, light nuts, maybe chocolate notes.
Flavor shows the roasted coffee 1st and foremost. Notes of toasted caramel, light chocolate, walnuts. A touch of bitterness but it comes off pretty sweet. Almost a tad on the syrupy side for the mouthfeel. This is pretty good.
