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.

Bottle dated 11/02/2016.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-dark brown color with a light transparent light brown color at the edges of the glass. A thin white to off white foamy head sits atop of the glass nicely and dissipates in a level mild pace. Lace clings adequately to the glass.
The aroma starts with sweet and roasted coffee beans up front graced by some earthy hops, semi-bitter, but there for a light balance. Rich sweet roasted nuts and a light cocoa bean show some presence.
The flavor leans to the sweet and roasted coffee bean. Sweet nuts, coffee and cocoa combine in the aftertaste to leave slight dry to sticky sweet and roasty finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation felt good for what it is. I would have again.
Overall, I say English brown ale with an American twist of adding the cocoa bean and coffee bean. Great job Frost!

Draft at On tap Bar and Grill.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a burnt yellow color with a bar pour’s kind of slim white head. No lacing.
The aroma had some spicy rye malts, light black pepper. Sweet balance of malts. Some bready tastiness.
The flavor balanced between the two nicely. Leans somewhat spicy in the aftertaste and rides into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Malts seem to cut the spiciness so the harshness seems a bit contained and seems to move freely over my tongue.
Overall, good blonde ale with nice creativity to enliven the style.

Thanks Huhzubendah for sharing the bottle! Poured into a snifter showing medium filtered honey with half a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows light notes of juicy grapefruit. The palate is moderately carbonated and medium bodied. Flavors showmostly pine with barely any bitterness. Simple but clean and easy drinking.
