12 oz can. Pours a hazy light Amber, small white head that dissipates quickly, no lacing. Weak aroma of sweet caramel and fruity hops, slightly too malty flavor, watery short finish.

Can by myself at the cabin in NH. Pours clear gold with a moderate, foamy white head. The nose has a bit of pine, some bread, dry orange. Medium sweet flavor with simple, moderately bready malts, bitter pine and dirt, some rindy citrus notes. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Decent balance on the finish, some faint astringent pine, more bread, citrus rind. Fair.

Can thanks to Travlr: Poured a black with red edges and a tan head. Aroma is light roast and licorice. Very rich robust chocolate, roasted malts and dry finish.

Can thanks to Travlr: Poured a hazy yellow to golden with white head. Aroma was light citrus hops. Taste was gritty citrus hops, but not harsh. Very refreshing and drinkable.

Draught at Oasis, 4/27/14
Dark ebony body is near opaque with a tan head atop that sits at cover.
Light roasted tinges dot the chocolatey-fudgey landscape while some vanilla and fresh, juicy green hops are moderately done and aromatic. Deeper, more dry, earthy coffee notes are noted on the backend and overall the aroma strength is fairly low. What is there is pleasant and there are no overt flaws or alcohol.
Pretty stiff crunchy coffee, bitter roast and lightly bitter hops all jump right in the mouth, as light vanilla-fudge sweetness seeks to bring things to balance. I’m not sure that it does, though what it leaves behind is a very, very dry, rather roasty example of the style with moderate carbonation and more apparent wateriness with the relative lack of sugars/body. It’s not weak in body by any means, but for how easily it drinks based on the texture, it’s certainly very roasty and challenging in that sense. Acidity from the roast and to a less extent, the hops, builds up on the finish. Certainly not a session beer here....Light licorice, coffee and earthy, crunchy black malts linger on....

On tap at Doherty’s Ale House Warwick 4/7/14 Solid dark brown/black small tan head. Chocolate and roast with hints of caramel and earth. Decent porter.

4/10/14 Can brought back from OSHC. Pours a solid black color with a smallish tan head that dissipates almost instantly. Aromas of bitter dark chocolate with a hint of caramel. Light burnt and molasses notes with a heavy earthy hop presence. The flavor mimics the aroma quite well. Bitter dark chocolate with caramel and molasses as well as hints of dark fruits. Solid earthy hop bitterness and flavor. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a slick bubbly mouthfeel. I quite enjoyed this beer at home, great can.

On cask at Track 84 Warwick, listed as Prince of the Yahd Comes to the table in a proper imperial pint glass. Visually, a slightly hazy light golden color with a huge fluffy creamy head that survives till the glass is empty. Extremely impressive retention! Aromas of bready malt and floral and citrusy hops. Flavor is bready with hints of caramel and just enough citrus and earth to balance with a nudge to the hop side. Medium body with a light level of carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. First beer of the night, so easy drinking, it slid completely down my throat before I knew it. Might be more of a pale than IPA, but its a solid brew.

On tap at Track 84 Warwick Comes to the table a slightly hazy light golden color and a smallish off white head. Aromas of light funk, bread, bits of lemon, clove, and pepper. The flavor follows the aroma well. Light refreshing easy to drink, I enjoyed this a bit.

12oz bottle from Georgio’s, Billerica, MA. A lively pour of an opaque pitch black beer with a billowing light tan head; there’s a rich chocolate aroma; in the mouth it’s smooth with a caramel and coffee taste; then a dry and fruity finish. A decent porter.

12oz can from Georgio’s, Billerica, MA. A slightly hazy pour with a thin cream head; spicy west coast hop aroma; soft body with a fruity citrus backgound; and a crisp, but undefeined finish. Not the best American IPA, but it’s good to get an RI tick.
