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.
Bright aroma of tangy sweet hops. Slightly tart bite that transitions to smooth fruity hop taste. Leaves you with hints of sweet malt and slightly chalky yeast. Cleans palate with a dryness then lingering hops/yeast on a minute level. Too tart & drying.
Canned 1/13/2026, drank on 1/31/2026, so very fresh.
Slight sweet caramel malt aroma with a complement of flowery hops. Taste is equally flavorful hops and malt. No hop bite. Leaned residual slightly bitter edge of hops on a solid, easy base of malt and yeast.
Sweet aroma of hops and yeast. Smooth taste, with a slight taste of hops. Finishes cleanly work a hint of the alcohol (8.6% ABV), but a very smooth aftertaste of clean malt.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Craft beer and homebrew from a Michigan perspective.
