Hello opacity! White ash head that looks stable, but drops quick. Sheet lacing that yawns like a cavern complete with stalagmites and ‘tites. Gorgeous nose of honeyed fig, tangerine, Meyer lemon, pink grapefruit, banana-coconut pie and pineapple sorbet. Zippy and lively metallic entry brings grapefruit oil in abundance, lime zest, lemongrass, lemon verbena, chive, starfruit, green mango, key lime, white pepper and ruby grapefruit pulp and pith. Finishes minerally, concentrated and borderline tartaric. #destihl #destihlbrewery #ilbeer #boycottbland #hazy #hazyipa #ipa #dipa #doubleipa #hazydoubleipa #iipa #citrahops #simcoehops #indiapaleale #ale #beer #bier #birra #cerveza #biere #cerveja #gratefuldead #hazeofthedead #destihlhazeofthedead #hazeofthedeaddoubleipa — 4 years ago

Dosvidanya 2016! You were no one's favorite year, you fractious, life-stealing bastard. That being said, thank you for making this beer. Black mushroom coffee scents waft above a perfect mousse of micro-bubbles spottily lacing; sports Light anise and roasted black corn, wild rice and whiskey complexity. There is a fig sweetness. Oily vanilla whiskey leads the charge in a oaken den of decadent dark chocolate on tea biscuit. The coffee notes are syrupy here, but they are tinged with herbaceous and stemmed spices that take on a burnt marshmallow perspective. The final act of this magnificent spectacle evokes Turkish delight, burnt chocolate cake, toffee, and hazelnut liqueur and coffee cake caramel meandering between pecans. Liquid quicksand. #destihlbrewery #dosvidanya #russianimperial #extraimperial #stout #bourbonbarrelaged — 8 years ago
