Rating: 4.25/5
Notes: I’ll start by saying I’m not a stout guy. Just not my style but I’ll give it a chance. It’s got tons of dark chocolate flavor and a little taste of coffee which I believe is there from the dark chocolate. It’s tasty with plenty of flavor but not my style. My wife likes stouts at our house but she isn’t much of an Imperial Stout drinker. “Yeah, I’ll drink more of these”, she said, which means it’s actually a really good stout.

Rating: 4/5
Notes: A slight boozy taste but very enjoyable. Quite the collection of hops in here which give it a unique flavor. I’m tasting a bit of orange flavor. Not sweet, hoppy but not too bitter, and really good.
Can art: Nothing special but it plays off the Nugget signature beer so it’s decent
Drinkage: 20 days after date on can

Notes: Great beer. Wonderful display of citra hops in a smooth, easy to drink and very crushable dipa. That citrus hop flavor stands out and it’s legit.

school looking National Geographic photo of the mountain. Sweet

Rating: 4.75/5
Notes: Awesome fresh hop version of Eliot. Eliot itself is a solid beer which is great to begin with but adding in those fresh hops too this up a notch. Ex-Novo keeps killing it.
Can Art: Nothing crazy but cool typography
Drinkage: No date on can.
