16 oz. Aroma is blackberries, pepper, vanilla, sulfur. Pours hazy orange with a one finger off white head with decent retention. Taste is unexpectedly moderately bitter and dry, being just a tad sweet, with flavors of berries, vanilla, pepper. Not bad at all, but definitely the least dessert-like and straightforward of the beers I’ve had from this brewery.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a black color with a medium sized very dark brown head that lingered and left excellent lacing. The aroma was roasty and dusty with cinnamon, hot pepper and cocoa. The flavor was roasty with cinnamon, hot pepper, cocoa and earthiness. Very long finish of cocoa and cinnamon. Full bodied.

Sampled on tap at Trail's End. Clear, golden color, with a medium, frothy, white head. The aroma is peach, vanilla, cloves, caramel, and light pine. Sweet and sugary, with a very faint bitterness. Light body, with a fluffy, sugary palate. This is a fun and tasty beer.

16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours very hazy/cloudy deep golden amber color with a 2 finger dense and cream off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, maple syrup, vanilla, cream, brown sugar, honey, caramel, and biscuit dough; with light notes of bacon smoke, cinnamon, pepper, pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, maple syrup, sugars, and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, maple syrup, vanilla, cream, brown sugar, honey, caramel, and biscuit dough; with light notes of bacon smoke, cinnamon, pepper, pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, maple syrup, vanilla, cream, brown sugar, honey, caramel, biscuit dough, light cinnamon/pepper/pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, maple syrup, sugars, and bready malt flavors; with a with a solid malt/sugar/bitterness balance; and no cloying flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 8.4%. Overall this is a fantastic flavored NEIPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, maple syrup, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the ABV, with the mildly bitter/drying finish; great soft feel. Fantastic Citra profile. Extremely juicy and lightly dank/earthy hops; with perfect balance of maple syrup, sugars, and oat/malts. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing base style example as expected. Just as impressive as the base beer, but not as much actual bacon flavors as I hoped for.
