16 oz can poured. Huge thanks to Terminus for the can! So far so good from the beers I’ve had from these guys. Pours black with a swirling tan foam head. Thick, creamy dark chocolate body. Awesome roasted aroma to it. Toasty flavor with a bold chocolate, and light espresso flavor up front. Thick stuff, and very nicely done. Has the cream and vanilla flavor without the heavy sweetness. Better with every drink, or should I say, bite. Awesome beer here. Update: 16 oz can picked up at Beer Mongers, Portland. Had to give this another try. It really is an incredible stout. Even better this time around. Great stuff.

At Rich’s Massive Cellar Emptying Tasting. Fleur d’Abricot cumbre 7.7% gold and softly opaque with a rich apricot. Spritzy raspy carbonation on a soft light body. A bit gassy going down with a lightly tart apricot flavor. Subtle flavors which 5 hours into the tasting my palate isn’t equipped to appreciate. 3.7

Bottle @ Drink Rich’s American beer, thanks to Omgrich. Dorée-orangée, col blanc. Arôme offre un immense bouquet abricot tirant vers la purée, juste impressionnant et dominant quais tout le nez. Palais garde ce profil abricot mais versant vers un style belge dans l’usage de la levure. Retrouve un côté finement acidulé mais dont le caractère doux et sucre résiduel de l’abricot parvient à contrebalancer.
