Can from trade with CLW--thanks, Chris! Virtually opaque, dark brown, thin head with good retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong toasted malt. Taste is strong toasted malt, hint of the initiation of Concord grape flavor, late earthy malt. Smooth, fairly thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Good representation of the style. Excellent strength for ABV.

Can (24278) shared by Steve. Opaque dark brown, mild viscosity, thin head, light lacing. Aroma is strong roasted malt/coffee over milder chocolate and vanilla, late mild earthy malt, slightly rubbery. Taste is strong chocolate, roasted malt/coffee, vanilla. Smooth texture, average carbonation and finish as taste with mix of sweet and lingering roasted bitterness. Slightly off putting quality to aroma that is thankfully missing from flavor.

Can (5/21/25) from Andover Classic Wines. Cloudy, bright yellow, white floaties, thin head, light lacing. Aroma is strong tart grape must. Taste is as aroma with citrus backdrop. Thick, frothy texture, medium bodied, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Kind of saison-like. Different for a double NEIPA. OK.
