Pours dark. Tan foam. Smells hoppy. I was surprised this was a dark beer. Very interesting. Tastes like a sweet IPA. Big hop body with a sweet roasted malt finish. A bit muddled and confusing but has good flavor.

Pours a dark....cola color...with a large fluffy tan head. Good retention with some sticky lacing. Conflicted here; It's a decent looking beer, but only as a stout or porter or something along those lines. For a milkshake NEIPA, it's abnormal. But it looks like it should given the name and ingredients. Screw it. It's getting a neutral rating for appearance.

Aromas of chocolate chip cookies, brownies, macaroons, and chocolate oranges. What is this beer.

Tastes like cookie dough, brownie batter, coconut shavings, oranges and faint blueberries. Very faint vanilla cookies.

Medium bodied. Moderate to moderately high carbonation. Very slick. Dry finish. Has a lingering bitter aftertaste.

This beer is just...odd. Look I get the milkshake IPA's. There's plenty that I enjoy. This one just doesn't work. The expected flavors are there, but they're completely muddled. This could easily pass for a decent milk stout, but not any kind of IPA. It's not awful, it just isn't worth another try.
