Draft. A nice dry smelling stout with some roastiness. Low abv makes it great session beer.

Draught from ell tigre. Orangey red brown pour, mild head, smoked wood/bacon bits aroma - comparable to a Spezial rauchbier more so than a Schlenkerla, if you’re keepign track. Really good, one of the better american ones I’ve haad.

Bottled. Poured yellow etc. Pretty standard for a wit but not quite as tart as one would expect for a wit.

Draft at barcade. Poured darkish but then it was dark in there so I could barely tell. Aroma was malt and such. I thought t his one was a bit hoppy to finish, maybe it was the tap, not sure.

Draft. Wow, Dark and incredibly heady. So rich and chocolate malty with the goodness of good stuff. Lots of alcy too so it bombed me to death.

Must have had a bad/older bottle because I found this not too much to write home about.

Can, dark brown with a small tan head. Nose is metallic with some peanut in the background. First taste is better than expected but it does come across as slightly cloying. In the middle, I'm not sure if I'm liking this. Its starting to feel and taste like a pastry brew, brews which I typically do not get along with. Tho I don't know victory that well, this beer seems to be a little out of their bounds. The more I get into the session, the more I think that is how it should be styled. Yes its a porter, but Ive had many pastry stouts that are very similar in experience. Glad I had a chance to tick this but I wont be buying this again, even for a buck.
