I must have had about 8 pints of this stuff this week because it was the only craft ale being served at my hotel bar in Green Bay - from the first sip I could tell this was authentically british - it had that hard water, almost drying quality about it, bready malt, and a subtle, but drying hop bitterness in the finish - crisp, clean, and easy to drink - this beer was a godsend.

The least favorite beer I had here - it had the look, though - very hazy gold/orange, with a frothy, lasting head - lemony aroma, with strong yeasty qualities - bready, yeasty, earthy - understated banana flavor (which is good in my book) - a bit of grainy character - the flavors wheat usually imparts weren’t that easy to notice - light and easy drinking, just lacking a bit of character.

Nitro pour - huge, lasting nitro head - a really potent combination of coffee and roasted malt in the aroma - very smooth and creamy mouthfeel - strong roast and bitter tobacco leaf - it’s hard to tell how much of the roasty flavor is from the coffee, and how much is from roasted malt (very well-integrated flavors) - nice, full mouthfeel, despite the light, quaffable nature of the style (I think this is a dry stout) - a great coffee stout.

One of the more stand-out brews I had at this brewpub - thick and creamy, with a very smooth mouthfeel - a lot of caramel, maple, raisin, and date - reminds me of the fruity complexities of the better-made german bocks - a very light roasty/smoky character in the finish - great stuff.

From Skyview’s growler. Sweet caramel aroma and flavor. Roasted grain, and a roasted meat quality. Very much like a German doppelbock like Salvator or Optimator. Sticky and sweet. Some smoke. Probably the best brewpub bock I have ever had.

Thanks to Skyview for sharing. Brown in color. Mild aroma with malt and dried fruit. Flavor has brown sugar, some oak, and light bourbon. Almost no carbonation.
