8.4/10 โ€” Appearance 8 Aroma 9 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 8
Pint Bottle (1 pt 0.9 oz). Pours a dense black color with a smallish beige head that slowly recedes. The aroma is big and bold with raspberries and a trace of vanilla. The flavor is raspberries, chocolates, vanilla, and just a hint of chili. The palate is full and creamy with soft carbonation. Finishes long with lingering raspberries. Overall: I seem to be way more thrilled with this than the other more discerning raters on this site. And, I say that as a person who doesn't normally care for fruited beers. Oh, well to each his own, I loved it.

Stovepipe can. Pours a lightly cloudy yellow color with a medium sized white head that soon recedes. The aroma is grapefruit, pine resins and something dank. The taste is bitter grapefruit, lemons, guava and pine. Bitterness level is high Palate is full and the carbonation soft. Finishes long and dry with lingering bitter pine. Overall: I'd call this an old timey west coast DIPA--but the can makes no such claim.

375 ml bottle. Batch 2. Pours a deep amber color. The aroma had honey in forefront followed by mild nutmeg spice. The flavor, like the aroma, is honey and nutmeg. Palate is full oily. Finishes long and sweet, a bit cloying. Overall: Quite nice, but the nutmeg came across as a medicinal at times.

The taste, as in the aroma, is grapefruit, mild grains and some sweet candies. The palate is light and crisp with lively carbonation. Finished short and dry. Overall: East drinking pils.

375 bottle. Pours a clear golden color. The aroma is medium in strength with Bourbon, honey and some apples. The taste mirrors the aroma as the bourbon character is front and center. Apples and honey play a minor supporting role. Palate is a bit sticky. Finishes long. Overall: I really loved the bourbon character, it really come through.

12 oz can. Pours an opaque brown/black with a medium sized tan head that has good retention. The aroma is strong with sweet mocha, vanilla and caramel. The taste is more akin to burnt grains, toffee and bitter baking chocolate. The palate seemed a bit thin and the carbonation was lively. Finished long with lingering burnt grains. Overall: Decent everyday type of porter.
