16 oz can. Aroma has ash, roasted malt, pine. Flavor has soft resinous pine and light citrus against a light char, roasty chocolate maltiness. Personally, for me, this is a wonderful interpretation of the style. The pine is here with mild resin yet it works with the char and chocolate. Love it!

16 oz can. Aroma is soft floral and mild white grape. Flavor has a soft bread like malt backbone showing citrus, floral, and very weak white grape. Very soft floral bitterness. Dry texture. Pretty easy drinking.

16 oz can. This is NOT a batch of “ I’m a grown Ass Cat “. The original does NOT have coconut in it. A batch is a beer with the same exact recipe. From perhaps a different vintage. If a new ingredient or adjunct is added, it makes it a different beer. The whole point of this website to keep track of the different beers you have?
Aroma is moderate chocolate and weak coconut. Flavor has the chocolate, coconut and a good amount of roasted malt backbone. ABV is mostly hidden. Body is a tad thinner. Does have a good texture. Pretty decent.

16 oz. can. Aroma has bold citrus fruit with mild bready malt. Spruce is very soft in the aroma. But once you sip, no hiding this spruce. Does have a decent malt background with some citrus as a counter point. A very good spruce ale.

12 oz can. Aroma deep rich cocoa and vanilla creme. There’s a reason this is in a 12 ounce can. It’s extremely sweet. They nailed the Oreo cookie without doubt. Theres very little to balance the stout. This is a desert stout, so it’s hard for me to fault it. Good in a very small dose.

16 oz can. Appearance is a slight clear dark amber. Normal carbonation. Aroma has toast, and weak toffee malt. Taste is lightly sweet, caramel malts, with hints of apple and weak earth. Light body. Overall, this is a standard everyday Amber ale. Nothing wrong with this just very basic.

16 oz. can. Aroma of dark bread, earth, and mineral-rich yeast. Flavor is moderate chocolate, maple, bread crust. Soft characters that are well balanced. On the East Coast, my favorite breweries that make quality lagers are Human Robot and Schilling. This is very close to both of those breweries. Nice!

16 oz. can. Aroma is peach, pineapple, earthy / green hops. Flavor follows with perhaps a hint of mango or an apricot situation. Earthy herbal hops provide a mild bitterness. Pretty bold sweetness from the malt. I don’t really find the Nelson Sauvin. I was really hoping I’d find white grape and passionfruit. Overall, still pretty decent.
