Draft at GABBF: Poured a murky brown with a tan jello head. Sticky aroma that has bourbon and vanilla, with loads of malt. Taste is similar with the malt coming through the most, but bourbon and caramel finish.

12 oz can. Pours a light copper amber with a quick fizz head. Bread and malt aroma. Flavor is a little sweet. Bready malts and light spice in the finish. Not bad.

I had this on tap at Coho’s Bar and Grill.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy golden orange color with a slim finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated quickly. Barely any lacing stuck.
The smell had a nice blend of sweet citrus and delicately delivered a sweet honey.
The taste packed the previously mentioned flavors into a sweet punch of good flavor. Light sweet honey aftertaste lead to a sweet dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Nicely carbonated.
Overall, I say this was a good blonde ale that I would have again.

Got this from Adam in AK with a couple of his home brews. Thanks!!

It’s black, the pour brought a 1 finger head of tan foam that lasts and lasts and when I check my glass after sipping, the lacing is good.

The smell is very roasty with notes of dark chocolate and that certain aroma that tells you that this is an Irish Dry Stout.

Very dry tasting indeed. Loads of roasted malt and some chocolate with a rather stinging bitterness that enforces the dry. It drinks a wee bit stronger than the 5.9% to me but no matter. This is bloody excellent!

On tap at Humpy’s.
This was poured into a nonic pint.
The appearance was a nice hazy yellow color with a slight transparency about it. Some carbonation was seen rising. The head dissipated within about a minute leaving some stringy lacing here and there.
The smell had a sweet to bitter citrus, grapefruit and grassy and somewhat piney with a mellow sour - ness.
The taste was sweet, bitter and had a mellow sour - ness to the flavor.
There’s a light sour and sweet orange juice like aftertaste but I liked it.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a superb sessionability about it. The carbonation was good for me and for the style.
Overall, wow, for me, I really liked this one but then again, it seemed like the sour - ness was tamed a bit. I’m not sure what true sour fans would think.
