Taster at the brewpub. Pours a clear, bright yellow, with a small, white head. The nose is light smoke, pine, straw, cream, and syrup. Sweet and sugary, with a mild bitterness. Light body, with a silky, smooth feel. This is a pretty mellow, easy lager.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a dark, clear, brown color, with a big, foamy, khaki head. The nose is pipe tobacco, sweet musty earth, toffee, and maple. Sweet and peaty, with a light, earthy bitterness. Light to medium body, with a chalky, malty, and velvety palate. This is a lovely, sweet, and peaty ale. Smooth, yet assertive. Just tasty.

On tap at the brewery. Pours black, with a medium, tan head. The aroma is roast coffee, vanilla, toasted oak, coconut, almond, and cloves. Sweet and very malty, with a good bitterness in the background to balance it. Boozy, but not overly so. Heavy body, with a harsh, grainy mouthfeel. This is a nice stout, with a fun treatment.

Sample from the beer engine at the brewery. Pours dark ruby, with a medium, foamy, beige head and nice cascading bubbles. The nose is wet grass, pecans, resin, and burnt caramel. Sweet and malty up front, with a mild and easy bitterness. Light to medium body, smooth, but a little thin and watery. This is a reasonably nice beer, but lacks body and complexity. The initial aromas are off, but not terribly so, and the easy and balanced flavor covers it well.

Sample on tap at the brewery. Black color, with a small, tan head. The nose is distinctly toasted coconut and milk chocolate. It’s hard to pick up any other aroma other than that, which is fantastic! Sweet and sugary, with a light bitterness that balances it out a bit. Medium to heavy body, grainy, and syrupy. This is a delicious beer, and well made. Very focused and clean.

Snifter at the brewery. Pours dark brown, with a tan ring. The nose is smooth coffee, cream, dates, syrup, and light cocoa. Sweet and malty, with very little bitterness. Medium body, with a grainy and malty mouthfeel, and a clean finish. This is a nice, easy beer, and the coffee adds lovely aroma, without the acrid burnt character that usually accompanies it. Quite nice!

Pint at the brewery. Pours clear, pale yellow, with a medium, creamy, white head and good lacing. The nose is tangerines, apricots, butter toffee, and orange peel. Sweet and a little malty, with a smooth, assertive bitterness. Light to medium body, crisp, a little astringent, with a clingy, bitter finish. This is a sharp, focused, and delicious beer.

Pint on tap at Jake and Telly’s. Dark brown color, with a thin, tan ring. The nose is strong and decadent. Notes of butter toffee, walnuts, vanilla, oak and smoky peat, cinnamon, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. Very sweet, with a subdued booziness, and a little bit of smooth bitterness. Very heavy body, syrupy, thick, and a little grainy. This is a dessert beer. Sweet and thick. The whiskey character is forward and wonderful in the nose, but doesn’t burn in the finish, which is very nice. This is very well done!

Snifter at the brewery. Pours dark brown, nearly black, with medium sized, frothy, tan head. The aroma is smooth, bittersweet chocolate, vanilla, oak and a touch of peaty smoke, and a very pleasant chili pepper character. Sweet, with a good, light bitterness to balance, and a building, intense heat. Medium to heavy body, smooth, with an easy, silky feel, and a clean finish, in spite of the heat. This is an amazingly smooth, well made, and delicious chili stout. None of the unpleasant burnt flavors, nor the celery character that often comes with a chili beer. Instead, it drinks like a nice chili chocolate bar, with great character, balance, and body.

On tap in a flight at the brewery. Pours a hazy yellow, with a creamy, off-white ring. The aroma is dominated by pineapple and kiwi, and assorted citrus, with some wheat bread and biscuity yeast notes. Sweet and very citrusy, with a pretty nice and mild tartness that lingers through the finish. Medium body, very acidic, silky, and clingy. This is a tart and fruity beer. Smooth, approachably tart flavor, and good, focused aroma.
