Reviewed from notes.
Can to mug.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a three finger khaki foamy head which trickled off at a nice pace to leave some messy lace
Aroma: dark roasted malts; black coffee, slight toasted nuts; milk chocolate and a little bit of dark chocolate
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to roasty to bittersweet blend; finishes roasty and sweet with a touch of dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied, great sessionability; rounded smoothness with a little bit of roasty grips but mostly just more or less - just noticeable and nothing burdensome
Overall: I say this was a pretty nicely done no frills sort of porter I would return to.

Can to nonic glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a finger and a half of tan foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: raspberry sweetness, milk chocolate, some coffee roastiness and a light dark chocolate further down in there
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas together in a mostly sweet sort of way while pushing back the roasty tones a bit; finishes leaning into the sweet side of the raspberry and chocolate
Texture: light to medium bodied; somewhat sessionable; smooth along the tongue with not much distracting; good carb level
Overall: not a bad dessert stout but part of me was hoping for that ever so slight touch of "tart" from the raspberries but if that's the worst thing then I am pretty sure I could return to this beer.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: light burnt yellow to orange color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy notes along with some piney hops and orangey hops with an undercut of some orangey hop notes; barely any malts but those seemed somewhat biscuity
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet to slightly sweet quality; finishes with a touch of hop zest and some sweet pine & orangey hop tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness with a good carb level and a medium to low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: I say a pretty nicely done and easy drinking pale ale I'd come back to this one. I heard there's tall boys of these floating around somewhere in Vermont, I wonder if they're at Rock Art or up there in Morrisville.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: glossy burnt yellow almost copper color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: light floral to mixed citrusy hop notes up front with a touch of earthiness in the middle then a light malty backbone
Flavor: mixes on up the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet earthy floral quality; finishes malty with some light floral hops
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; good smoothness with nothing distracting and good carb level
Overall: hmmmm, Rock Art calls it a Czech pilsener but I have to ask the question "where was the snappy or somewhat 'zesty' contour of any hops in the flavor and/or finish?" Hmmmm...maybe again for me for experimental purposes.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: grapefruity and piney hops up front with a noticeable biscuity malt base
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet sort of quality; finishes malty and grapefruity
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but also some prickly carbonation and slight hop bitterness
Overall: okay as an IPA but I don't really see this as a NEIPA.

Pours dark amber with a thick frothy cream head. Aroma of heavy malt. Taste has more heavy malt notes, some off putting elements typical of the style. Palate was much of the same. Eh.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: very thick orange cardboard colored haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head that dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mango sweetness, orange juicy scent, piney whiffs, and some extra citrusy hop notes
Flavor: moderately bitter becoming bittersweet as it opens up, slight juiciness comes out too as it opens up, finishes juicy through the orange and mango qualities
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper, some smoothness but also some sticky piney hop effects on the tongue
Overall: pretty good DIPA I'd return to this but I believe it was a one-off for their 20th Anniversary so no worries.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark brown color with a thin cap of a white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: bready, toast, light nuts, light dose of baker's chocolate, brown sugar and a touch of earthiness
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together semi-sweetly, a touch of bitterness on the back end; aftertaste of dark bread and nutty character
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability about it, fairly smooth along tongue, finishes nutty, dark bready and a touch of dryness
Overall: I'd say a nicely done bock I would come back to.

On tap at Vermont Tap House, Williston, VT.
Appearance: nice looking semi-dark amber color with a bar pour's kind of slim white head, dissipated and left no lace
Aroma: thick caramel/toffee malts, nice level of nutty crisp tones, subtle earthiness, and a big punch of bittersweet pine/resin hoppiness
Flavor: bittersweet meshing all the prior noted aromas then a mild aftertaste of pine and caramel malts
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, good carb; finishes crisp with the pine
Overall: pretty nice red ale I could bang again.

Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown color with a one finger eggshell white foamy head which slid off at a nice pace, some quickly dissipating lace
Aroma: roasty porter qualities balance with some coconut and a lighter touch of vanilla
Flavor: semi-sweet with the vanilla and coconut, some roasty to faint coffee tones; mild coconut/vanilla/coffee aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, some smoothness; finishes dry, roasty and some coconut
Overall: pretty good porter with coconut and vanilla, I believe I could come back to this.
