Faint sweet aroma, almost like light fruit. Slight crispness, with sweet malt flavor and tasteful but not bitter hops. Drying effect on palate from yeast on the back end, finishing fairly dry, but a broad sweet fruity flavor with hints of bitterness in the background.
Aroma is bright and hoppy work flowery and dank hop aromas. Taste has good strong hop flavor, but no bitter bite. A bit of caramel malt flavor, as well as yeast, finishing with moderatetaste of all 3- hops, malt, and yeast.
Somewhat strong sweet hop aroma. Slightly tart tang up front, followed by an in-rush of heavy juice flavor. Can taste the alcohol, buried in pale malt flavor. Aftertaste has lingering moderate hop bitterness.
Strong sweet smell of cherries. Strong thick flavor of cherries, almost like cough syrup. Thins somewhat in flavor and leaves a moderate malt taste for a bit before transitioning to a light cherry aftertaste.
Slightly sweet aroma, with hints of dark malts. Fairly thick and sticky on the palate with a crispness that comes in to clear things out. Eventually a sweetness comes in with hints of dark malts again and lingers. Strange combination of dark sweetness and crispness.
Slightly sweet aroma of malts, hints of dark malt. Very smooth on the palate, but very low carbonation level out of the can so this could be affecting it. Nice blend of malt tastes, with hops hanging just out of reach, but seems like the bitterness bite helps clear the palate. Aftertaste is one of smooth creaminess. Super tasty.
No date on the can, but bought in Colorado, not far from Crested Butte. And this Stout was the predominant offering from this brewery at the liquor store where bought, so may be popular and get good turnover.
Bright aroma of citrusy hops. Taste is fairly mild without an initial hop bite. Flavor then rushes in full of hops with some moderate maltiness in background. Hop flavor fades slowly into a long lingering hop aftertaste.
Canned on 9/10/2025, drank on 2/21/2026, so at 5 months not that great for an IPA. Would love to try this fresher.
Faint fruity aroma. Very smooth on the palate, with a mild peach flavor. Aftertaste has some bitterness, like a combination of the peach flavor and some hop bitterness. This fades and just leaves a mild peach flavor.
Rich coffee aroma. Taste is fairly smooth, with a mix of a chocolate taste combined with a boozy dark beer taste. Aftertaste is a lingering slightly sweet chocolate. Altogether, not that impressive.
Bottled 12/17/2025, drank on 2/8/2026.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
