Faint sweet aroma, not sure if malt, hops, or yeast. Taste is muffled hops flavor, with no bitter edge. Repeat taste is a bit more harsh with muddled mix of hops and yeast flavor. Slight lingering sweetness.
Unfortunately, this one is going to be a dumper. Packaged 12/22/2021, drank on 3/10/2022.
2.5 out of 5 stars.
Aroma of slight caramel malt, maybe some hop or yeast sweetness. Taste is even across the palate and had a balanced malt taste that gives way to a smooth hop flavor. Aftertaste has a slight lingering bitterness.
4 out of 5 stars.
Typical slightly sweet caramel malt aroma. Initial taste has a very slight twang, that fades and is replaced by a mix of malt and yeast sweetness. Finishes cleanly with just a mild caramel malt flavor in the background.

Canned 11/29/2021, tasted on 1/15/2022. Fresh, sweet hop aroma, very nice. Slightly sweet and puckering, but cleans off the palate quickly. Slight lingering hop fruitiness. Very nice and balanced. Full of fruity hop flavor, but no clinging aftertaste.

Sweet aroma of hops with a slight raw/green edge to it. Tastes like a bunch of raw hops, with a bit of yeast/malt sweetness in the background. The chaos subsides quickly and leaves a fairly clean lingering hop bitterness.

Canned on 10/11/2021, tasted on 1/15/2022. Aroma is slightly sharp and dry, almost like roasted peanut shells. Interesting complex flavor balancing a sweet, dark, 10% ABV Stout, and a complex nutty taste.
Maybe a bit too much alcohol heat and peanut flavor for my palate.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
Sweet, mild aroma of some hops and caramel malt. Slight edge of hops on first taste, but quickly overtaken but a smooth caramel malt flavor. Goes down fairly smoothly, almost slick-like, with a kick of hop bitterness at the very end.
4 out of 5 stars.
Nice aroma of dark malts mixed with a strong hop sweetness. String dark malt bite with a coffee like roastiness. Hop bitterness wipes the palate clean with a gusto, leaving the faintest remnants of sweet dark malts way in the background. Crisp and refreshing for such a dark beer.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Faint sweet hop aroma. Taste starts with a sharp hip edge, then turns really sweet with caramel malt, and finishes even sweeter almost like sugar and hops bitterness mixed together. Aftertaste is a lingering mild sweetness, but then a sourness creeps in at the end. Overall too harsh and sweet.
3 out of 5 stars.
Bright, fresh hop aroma. Crisp bitter bite of hops, followed by a mouthful of hop flavor. The go flavor is somewhat harsh and seems to clash for my taste buds with the complex yeast.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
