12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned in 11/2018. Pours opaquely hazy/cloudy deep golden amber color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big lightly tart/tangy mangoes, red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of mangoes, citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops, and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lightly tart/tangy mangoes, red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness; and slight fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of mangoes, red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of mangoes, citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops, and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, an no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly crisp/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is an awesome fruited NEIPA. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of mangoes, citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops, and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish; nicely soft, and not aggressive. Feels like Columbus, Centennial, Simcoe. Very juicy/vibrant hops/fruit, with some dank/earthy notes; with a nice wheat/oat/malt backbone for the ABV. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and well made style example. Held up well for the age. Over-carbonated, but likely make it more refreshing. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hands, Feet And Mangos on 26 Jan 2019 at 12:09 - Score: 8. Original review text: Great!

0.355 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet', cellared for about two years. Pitch black with a thin, beige layer. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty aroma of dark chocolate, toasted nuts, some coffee and a touch of licorice. Quite sweet, malty, gently roasty taste of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, toasted nuts and a touch of dark fruits, followed by a medium long, gently roasty-bitter, earthy and a bit resiny finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Intense, superbly balanced, pleasant mouthfeel, just a very good RIS! I really liked the bourbon BA version but this is probably as good as a non-BA Stout can get.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Took a while to pour from carbonation.

Great complexity, robustness, and balance of peaches, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, lactose, and bready malt flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness and tart/tangy fruit balance; with no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/tartness, and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly slick/sticky/tangy mouthfeel that is great. Mild increasing warmth of 10% after the finish. Overall this is an excellent fruited milkshake NEDIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of peaches, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, lactose, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the big ABV, with the mildly bitter/tart/tangy/drying finish; great soft feel. Feels like Citra/Centennial. Extremely juicy hops/fruit, with light dankness; with a balanced lactose, and wheat/oat/malt backbone. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example. Got better as it warmed. The over carbonation definitely made this smoother on the ABV.
