From Good Times Oakland, canned October 13th 2023.
It pours a hazy orange with an impressive head of foam, long lasting, very nice lacing.
The smell is dank, tropical fruit, citrus, almost an aroma of onion but thankfully not.
The taste is juicy, dank, tropical fruit, oranges, citrus, some cracker malt peeks through. The dankness wears on my palate rather quickly and makes this not as drinkable as it could be.
Juicy mouthfeel. Overall, I can see people digging this but my opinion is what counts, eh?

Can pour shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! An opaque black with thin cap of tan head fading to a ring and light lacing. Aroma is strong more-sweet-than-bitter coffee, lactose, vanilla, Taste mirrors aroma with addition of milk chocolate, almond. Smooth, medium bodied, soft carbonation, wonderful sweet finish. No sign of alcohol. Could be a little thicker. Very nice!

16 oz. can. Aroma is mild coffee, light marzipan, and subtle chocolate. Flavor follows and each adjunct is balanced. Considering this is a milk stout, the body is a tad lean. All considered, real tasty.

Pours dark black into an English pint. Mocha head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Milk chocolate, espresso, caramel and vanilla aromas. Dry with sweet vanilla, caramel, and milk chocolate upfront turning to sour espresso in the lasting finish.

Pours deep mahogany into a tulip. Mocha head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Date, fig and molasses aromas. Thin and sweet with warm fig, date and molasses front to back. Pretty one dimensional, but OK on that dimension.

16 oz can. Aroma has bold scallion, grass, and herb. This reflects the base beer of the non-double dry hopped. A little bit of toffee malt with the bold mosaic characteristics. Azacca shows mild pine and adds dankness. I loved this in 2015. However, these days I’m not sure this is my thing.
