On tap at the Kelsen Anniversary Party at cask and Vine tonight. Slightly hazy medium golden color with a smallish off white head. Juicy fruity hops with a bit of resinous pine and just a touch of sweet bready maltiness to bring it all together. Tasty clean great tasting IPA.

On tap at the Kelsen Anniversary Party at cask and Vine tonight. Opaque black color with a decent tan head. Big roasty chocolate and coffee with a huge amount of sugary sweetness. Earthy hop and coconut with a bit of woody oak help to cut through the sweetness with style. Thick chewy body with a silky creamy mouthfeel and a light level of carbonation. Great Imperial stout, this was the hit of the night for me.

Poured from a bottle dated 9/25/2015. Aroma is hoppy with a lot of woody and resinous hop aromas. Moderate chocolate notes with quite a bit of nuts and dark caramel. A light vegetal phenolic note. Pours a dark brown with a bit of a reddish hue and a medium sized, thick, tan head that slowly recedes. Moderate lacing and medium small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with a strong bitterness. Medium light chocolate note with lighter roast. Quite a bit of nuts and dark caramel notes. Moderate, woody and resinous hop notes. A bit of that off, vegetal phenolic note. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright beer but not a great one. The bitterness is too strong and off putting. There is also a phenolic note that doesn’t work well.

Tap at Whole Foods in Nashua. Fairly clear with a decent white head. Big juicy citrus hops with plenty of bready malt and spicy wheat to back it up nicely. Pretty good brew right there.

Bottle, clear gold, lasting head retention with a bright citrus aroma. Lemons, tangerine, lime peel. The flavor has a nice backbone of malt with the citrus giving balance. Bitterness is " lite "... See what I did there, ha! That being said it IS a session IPA, thinner body. This beer finishes clean without any one character showing at all. No flaws and very easy to drink. Nice

Draft at Cask and Vine. Slightly hazy deep yellow with a decent off white head that persists. Huge citrus nose with bits of melon and a solid supporting sweet bready maltiness. Big citrus hop flavor with a solid bready light caramel maltiness that is firm but never overpowering. Medium body with a moderate carbonation. Wow that’s a pretty damn good IPA right there. I came here tonight to try something else, but I could have easily relaxed with a few of these!

Bottle purchased at Prost Beer and wine. Pitch black color with some lasting tan head. The aroma is very nice, dark Chocolate, coffee hints and deep roasted malts.
The body is not really full but it does have a very nice silky / velvet feel across the tongue. Nice mouthfeel. The flavor is exactly what is found in the aroma with the addition of a hint of anise. It still also has a hop or lingering coffee bitterness. All- in- all a very well crafted stout.
