Hop Butcher For The World

American Imperial Stout

5.1 by scot

Poured from a can shared at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-02-18. Date on can of 2021-02-17. Pours opaque with a half finger of tan foam. The aroma and taste are full of banana. If you don't love banana, you might have a tough time here. There is a roast, ash, and banana flavor that lingers in the finish, making it hard to stomach. Fortunately my main man at Flight shared a can with me prior to me purchasing a can. I appreciate him saving me five bucks....read more

Poured from a can purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-02-04. Date on can of 2021-02-02. Pours cloudy with deep gold color, highlighted orange. Dirty white foam covers but jogs away at a fair pace. Sporadic lacing. Aroma of ripe tropical fruits. Mango and pineapple that are falling to the ground with ripe sugars. Resin, greens, and orange add complexity but are more like garnish to the strong tropics. Taste is a bit more subdued than the aroma. The ripe tropical fruit is still at th...read more

Triple Beezer

Old Irving Brewing Co.

American IPA - Imperial New England (INEIPA)

6.3 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-01-28. No date on can. Probably why I don't have many of their beers. Pours NEIPA cloudy. Huge, billowing, off-white foam covers. Great retention and thick, sticky lacing. Foam becomes rocky and creamy as it fades away. Aroma up front is mango, pineapple, pine, and dank resin. As the beer breaths these wonderful aromas meld into an overripe apple orchard. Not so much that it is apple, but the pungent smell of overripe fruit beginning to go bad. ...read more

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-01-21. Date on can of 2021-01-19. Pours crystal clear. Light, fluffy, white foam covers. Retention and lacing is typical of the style: almost non-existent.

Aroma of tropical: mango and passion fruit (just not intense passion fruit if you have it fresh you know what I am talking about). Dank. Taste has similar traits to the aroma just subdued. Body is thin but there is a lot of carbonation trying to beef it up. Dry after initial juiciness. There is nothing wrong with this beer as there never is fro...read more
