Location: 12 oz can from Nikki's Liquors, 7/31/15
Aroma: The nose is chocolate, caramel, some light roasted coffee, and a hint of dark fruit
Appearance: Its dark brown in color with a frothy, fizzy brown head, and streaky lace
Flavor: The taste gets a little more chocolaty and roasty, with the rest of the components fading to the background. Not a ton of sweetness, with more of an unsweet coffee / dark chocolate type of bitterness.
Palate: Light-medium bodied for the style, average-plus carbonation, and a fairly dry finish
Overall Impression:

Location: 12 oz can from Winooski Beverage, 7/10/15
Aroma: Strongly caramel and diacetyl, some spoiled fruit, earthy hops, and a bit of rye/spice
Appearance: It pours a murky orange color, with a small off white head and minimal lace
Flavor: The flavor is just as offensive as the aroma, probably more so with the same components
Palate: The body is medium, with a soft carbonation, slightly off feel, and a little dry
Overall Impression: I have to hope this was a bad can our something, because this one smells and tastes like something went wrong. Lots of off notes make this one closer to a drain pour than a winner unfortunately. I've had much better Foolproof beers, so I know they can do much better than this.

Can from the Lazy Dog Lightly hazy golden color. This has got to be the maltiest double IPA I’ve had in a long time. Not sure how old this can is but wow, where are the hops?

Bomber. Dark brown with a thin fizzy brown head. Good retention. Aroma of roasted malt, briny oysters, chocolate, cocoa, nuts. The taste is bitter roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and a salty finish. Thin bodied, mild lingering bitterness. Was expecting more sweet chocolate, would have provided a nice combo with the saltiness of the oysters.
