I forgot that this beer was sitting in my cellar for almost two and a half years (I don't buy this beer anymore). It did mellow nicely but the coffee was barely there being it is a coffee stout. The heat dropped too so it was easy to sip

Overall Impression:
Very disappointed in this DIPA. Some over ripe fruit with no hop presence. I actually couldn't finish it. I don't know if the beer was old (no can date) or just bad, but I can't recommended it. It was part of a IPA variety pack so I guess I'll be dumping the other two of these and hope the other beers from the pack are better.

This was a tasty NEIPA but I felt the beer fell a little flat in the body. Maybe a little more IBU's would have given it more life. A good beer but I've had better from Sixpoint
