Have always loved porters and stouts. In recent years I have grown to really enjoy European and American lagers.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you for carrying this back from Albany. Aroma of Mango, peach, orange. Pretty strong amount of fruit mixed with light bready malts. Just the light touch of herbal bitterness for balance. Well-made and I would rather drink a low ABV on a week day, than some 11% triple dry hopped monstrosity.

16 oz. can. Nose shows vanilla, chocolate, and some mild nutty like hints.
Flavor is relatively smooth with cocoa and vanilla, being an undercurrent to coconut and earthy hints. Full body with a smooth texture. ABV is only noticed in warming after the sip. Not overly sweet either. Which is quite amazing!

16 oz. can. Aroma of grapefruit, lemon peel, and maybe mild stone fruits. Flavor follows the aroma with a soft pillow- like mouthfeel and a good amount of juicy fruit characters. This hop combination has been played out. Not “ Elusive “ at all. But this is well made.

7.9/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 9 Overall 8
16 oz. can. Pitch black liquid with fast dying tan head.
Aroma is bold coffee with maple. Both follow into the flavor with some chocolate malts. Hints of molasses. Body is full with a smooth, thick consistency over the mouth. Dessert stout without question. Very tasty.

16 oz. can from the brewery. Aroma and flavor are a match. Mild hints of tropical fruit and subtle bready malt. Some crystal / caramel like malt background. A bit thin in texture and body. But decent in flavor.

4.5/10 Appearance 4 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 4 Texture 3 Overall 4
16 oz. can. Color Is a murky orange. Lots of chunky sludge, floating in the liquid. Aroma is bold Peanut Butter. Flavor has a lot of peanut butter, but also extremely fizzy in carbonation. Ridiculously thin body for a smoothie beer. Fake cherry notes. This is pretty awful. Drain drinks this one.

16 oz. can from the brewery. Crystal clear, golden appearance. Flavor is mild grain, soft mineral, and perhaps yeast. Very mild sweet finish. Thin cracker like malt. Thin texture. Very mellow in every aspect.
