I've drank and reviewed this one previously but I thought that I'd revisit it again. My synopsis of the my drinking experience this time around is as follows:
It had a nice golden color with a hearty foam on top. Hoppy aroma with notes of grapefruit and pineapple, and maybe some... pine... in there as well? Very mild and subtle sweetness with a strong bitter finish that immediately wipes away any of the sweet. The bitterness lingered in the mouth for quite some time afterwards. Nice amount of carbonation with a light bodied mouthfeel.
It was a good beer that was characterized by a hoppy fruity and floral aroma and a strong bitterness. I enjoyed it this time for sure.

A very colorful can and I love the design. Fresh malty aroma of grass, cereals, and bread. Crisp clean taste. Dry, tangy and bitter. Pleasant mouthfeel with decent carbonation.
Great beer all around for me, even on this cold winter day.

A striking black can with yellow and white accents. Steam engine breaking through a coal glass mosaic wall. The engine might be a new design feature or maybe I just never noticed it before. Its pretty cool can in my opinion.
The color of this beer was a rich opaque black with a mocha colored head. In the nose there were distinct roasted notes with leather and smoke. The taste was sweet and tangy up front with a hefty bitterness in the finish to balance it all out. This beer had a huge amount of flavor with notes of cocoa, dark chocolate and coffee. The texture was pleasant with a good amount of carbonation and an overall great mouthfeel.
My impression: this is a great beer. One of my favorites for sure. A quintessential American stout beer that I buy regularly.

Cool retro can design. Pale yellow liquid with a billowy head. Fragrant aroma with notes of citrus and cereals. Tangy taste with low bitterness, and a sharpe carbonation. Very refreshing. It would be better in the summer for me but I thoroughly enjoy this beer.
