Cask at ACAT. Pours a very cloudy gold with an amber hue and a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has strong coffee that covers up the hop notes and a bit of sweet grains. Flavor has some citrus hops up front but quickly becomes fully of coffee and sweet grains.

LOVE this beer! One of my top 5 of all time. Very balanced flavor of coffee, doesn’t overpower the IPA, but adds nice complexity and a slight raspberry fruitiness to it. Color is a slightly darker tint, aroma is floral and hoppy. Aftertaste is sweet coffee. Very drinkable over and over. Can’t wait to taste the non-cask production version of this beer.

Flavor: caramel flavor, lots of coffee, slowly growing touch of the hops from the base IPA, lingering bitter finish
