Delicious dark malt aroma that dances around the line of overly sweet/boozy and nicely balanced. Varied flavor on the palate of dark malts and yeast sweetness. Finishes fairly clean, but with brief flavor of dark malt. So flavorful, that’s strong, but just inches back from the borderline of being too much.
Bright, sweet hop aroma. Full flavor of hops but without a bitter bite. Almost tastes like fruit juice mixed in. Aftertaste has some residual hop bitterness and sweetness.
Strong smell of coffee. Tastes like coffee up front, then smooths considerably. Aftertaste is a mix of coffee and dark malt, with a mild lingering coffee flavor in the background.
Bright fruity hop aromas. Palate puckering hop sweetness, followed by some yeast dryness which then fades into some hop aftertaste and a bit of pale malt.
Strong sweet aroma of hops and yeast. Slightly crisp hop bite that gives way to yeast flavors with a hint of pale malt in the background. Leaves palate fairly clean, with moderate hop taste lingering.

Very slight hop aroma plus hints of caramel malt. Taste is fairly smooth with no hop bite, then a rush of caramel malt and clean neutral yeast taste. Nice combination of all with hops actually taking a slightly more background presence, but still a clean crispness.
5 out of 5 stars.
Craft beer and homebrew from a Michigan perspective.
