Prison City Riot in '29

__Aroma:__ “Moderate fruity hops with lemon and grapefruit, coconut, nectarine, orange, mango, and peach. Slightly more restrained compared to others in the style.” __Flavor:__ “Surprisingly intense juicy flavors, with melon, mango, and ruby red grapefruit dominating. Assertive hops and bitterness up front, with citrus grapefruit and lemongrass flavors. Nice flavor profile, and the sweetness slowly drops off as the hops bitterness intensifies, leaving a tart finish. Very well blended with the malt graininess.” __Overall:__ “A wonderfully surprising beer that doesn’t promise much in the aroma but over delivers (and then some) in the flavors. The intense flavors packed into the beer are impressive, but at the expense of definition. The flavor overload is impressive, if not overwhelming!”

**Aroma:** “Hops! Fruity passion fruit, orange, lemon, grapefruit, dank resinous in the background—if I didn't see the color, I’d expect an IPA. Some dark roast and chocolate sweetness sneak through once your nose is dead to the hops. Light tart note. As it warms, a slight molasses note starts to mix with the hops.” **Flavor:** “High hops flavor up front with bit citrus notes. Moderate chocolate with big roasty notes support the hops. Quite sweet up front. Sweetness slowly fades into a low bitterness. Toward the end, slight smoke note but big hops that continue into the aftertaste with a mix of roast. Dry, bitter hoppy finish. As it warms, the smoke turns into a burnt molasses note. Very fruity: passion fruit and pineapple. Finish is sweet and lingers. Rich chewy body that doesn’t come across as thick. Big pine and orange flavors from the hops. Chocolate from the malt gives it a chocolate orange flavor. The sweetness comes together with all the different bold flavors and finishes with a slightly dry finish.” **Overall:** “A nice balance of stout and hops, but if you don’t like hops, this stout is not for you. Strong flavors all around with a touch of alcohol warming in the background to fill it all out. Good balance of hops flavor and bitterness. This is a very different take on a stout—kind of a black IPA more than a stout. This beer tastes like a better, less sweet version of those chocolate-covered orange candy sticks, but with a heavy dose of pine richness. Very tasty!”

Aroma: “An Almond Joy candy bar mixed with double chocolate brownies, roasted marshmallows, and even more sweet toasted coconut followed by warming alcohol.” Flavor: “The intensely delicious flavors promised in the aroma are delivered even better than expected in the taste. This is an Almond Joy—sweet toasted coconut and milk chocolate, oaked vanilla, alcohol, and a creamy, semisweet finish that turns to a dry, lingering, alcoholic finish.” Overall: “It’s a liquid Almond Joy with alcohol. A phenomenal beer that is sinfully indulgent in the best way possible.”
