Single from Bottlecraft North Park. Pint glass at home.
Thick, heavy, black on brown pour, tall tan head.
Smell is strong, sharp, honest coffee. A little lactose, some burnt sugar, a little soot.
Thick, astringent, brutally bitter coffee. Some subtle chocolate notes & bright fruit in between all the burnt soot on the bitter endtrails. I love coffee of all kinds & this is intense.
Medium high acid, creamy, a bit warming.
It's brutally direct, but does taste good if you like strong flavors that lack refinery.

Dark brown, thin head. Lots of coffee on the nose. On the palate, this is medium body, big coffee and a bit of nuttiness. Definitely more of an easy-drinking impy, but some pretty good coffee and malt character to it.

Poured from 473mL can. Very dark brown with small grey-ish beige head. Tons of dry bitter roast malt, some cocoa powder, weird feint metallic fruity note in the background. Lacks some cohesion, but okay.

Can from Craft Shack. Pours hazy dark gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is citrus, yeast, tropical. Med plus body. Juicy! Yet somewhat astringent/dry. Lots of hop flavor. Dank/onion comes to my brain. But citrus is the thing with some white berry and melon. The flavor is strong; it's bitter but not quite harsh. Good stuff.
