Released 3/26/20; drank 12/10/20 (not ideal, but it's a RIS after all!).

Black appearance.

A rough pour yielded a big tan head; thick, frothy lace.

Fresh earth, cream & mild orange citrus notes in the nose.

Thick, creamy mouthfeel.

Fresh earth & orange peel flavors up front; mild cream notes on the finish.

Hop forward RIS vibes; it's not taking it easy on you but it tastes good.
