Taster at McKay's Tapbouse. Pours a very dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is roasted malt and fruity notes. Similar taste with moderate sweetness and roasted malt and hoppy bitterness. Good stuff.

355ml can from Elizabeth Station. Some fresh release (date is unreadable due to the printing machine mistake). Pours a murky dirty blonde with a white head. Aroma is citrusy notes, some sour notes at first and some dirty dusty notes at the end. Taste is slightly sour with citrusy notes. Not very enjoyable, unfortunately. 2nd beer of the night that went to the sink.

Thanks Frank.
This was poured into a mug, the appearance was a slightly clear amber color with a finger’s worth of eggshell white foamy head. Slight lace.
The aroma had some dry roasted toffee malts with a light floral to herbal hop bitterness. Light earthiness. Some toast at the end.
The flavor was somewhat sweet between the floral and herbal qualities. Sly little malty aftertaste and finish.
The palate was just a tad under medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Some carbonation was felt, but not distracting.
Overall, pretty good for an American brewer to come up with an \"Irish red\" fairly close to style. I’d have again.

On Tap at the Bellingham brewpub. Deep redish mahogany, thin fine tan head. Nice caramelized malt aroma, very little hop notes. Flavor is big time caramel and brown sugar, good ABV burn and a smooth not too heavy body. Barley bittered enough, tastes aged and mellow. Delicious.

On Tap at the Bellingham BP Slightly hazy copper/amber. Soapy coarse tan head and spotty lacing. Light toasted malts. Woody tannin like bitter bite. More like Rye than classic hop IBUs. Dont get much dry hop aroma or flavors, but nocely balanced anyway. A firm clean bitter bite.

On tap at Gruff, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lacto, stone fruits, and floral dry hopping. Flavour is rather acidic, with yogurty lacto notes, tart stone fruits and floral dry hopping. Unusual and a bit harsh on the acidity, but it works well enough.

Poured into a pint glass, the appearance was a dark brown almost black color with an off white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Sly stringy lace.
The aroma had some sweet to roasty graininess up front. Then some dark chocolate and a touch of coffee bean.
The flavor took all of the prior mentioned aromas to blend and then add in a touch of earth and peat. Sly woody to peat to roasty aftertaste. Quick dry crisp earthy/peat/roasty sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a great smooth feel rolling all about over my tongue. Good carbonation. For the ABV, though low, it feels like right the brewer says it’s at.
Overall, nicely done Irish dry stout, somewhat crushable.
