Dark black, brown edges. 1 finger head. The aroma is insane. there’s so much cedar it dominates everything. Decent mouthfeel. thin at the finish. Fudge with some vanilla and the cedar actually doesn’t stand out too much. bitterness. a little bit of onion. decent beer. Good thing I like cedar.

Pitch black, brown edges of the glass. Smells great. Spruce tip is certainly presentLots of chocolate and yeah, a bit of whiskey. smells really nice. whiskey is super present. Good chocolate qualitiy, the spruce isn’t really that intense. Rye whiskey is present but not intense either. light mouthfeel. the taste is all over the place. It’s a stout. Nothing rememberable.

A hazed golden ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light orange peel, coriander, light Brett and grapeskin, light and smooth. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with light butterscotch, light Brett, grapeskin notes, lactic acid notes, very nice and refreshing. On tap at Vermont brewfest 2015.

Bottom of the can reads: \"06/19/2015.\"
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy bronzed orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than about forty seconds.
The smell started off with a spicy rye running into light citrus notes and leading into a sly caramel malt.
The taste was semi-sweet and somewhat bitter, decently hoppy and slightly sweet through caramel and rye malts. A sly sweet to spicy rye to caramel aftertaste leads into a semi-crisp rye finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation runs evenly on the tongue and allows the rye to penetrate as it should for the bitterness level.
Overall, good rye/IPA that I would have again.

Bomber from Winooski Beverage, 5/3/15. Clear dark brown, large fizzy tan head, decent retention. Aroma of chocolate, roast, and a dry almost milky note. The taste is roasted malts, dark fruits, chocolate, herbal hops. Thin bodied, low carbonation. Decent.

Brown body that puts up a thin tan head. Aroma of fresh berries. The flavor is a fruit beer on the front and a porter as it finishes. The chocolate and other porter are initially hidden by all of the berries. Interesting beer.

16 oz. can purchased at the brewery. Hazy bright yellow with some head that stay until the end of the snifter. Aroma show the juice without a question: oranges, lemons and grapefruit. The flavor is same as the aroma with weak pine bitterness in the finish. The body is light and on the thin side with acidic grapefruit notes.

Tall-boy can picked up 2 days ago @ the brewery. Very dark golden orange 1 finger white head. Smells great. Very juicy, effervescent with a ton of great hop presence and straight up juice. Tastes very weak, thin, the wheat body helps but it has more of a 3% taste than a 6% taste. Grapefruit juice seems to only be thinning out the beer. There’s a little creamy texture to it. Citrus juices only add a lot of acidity and detract from wheat body. not a fan.

Draft at Burlington Beer Company. No head sitting on top a black liquid. Delicate, light coffee, roasty and caramel malts. Seems really balanced with some mild coffee bitterness.
The flavor is about right; caramel, toffee, roasted malts, and light cocoa. Mouthfeel does show a mild smooth, creamy texture which I look for. Really drinkable and sessionable but the thinner body is the only negative. Maybe adding oats to pump up the body would help with a lot without changing the ABV much. Has potential.

Draft at the brewery, deep brown / almost black color, no head. Aroma is heavy on oak, and a light red grape notes, mild undefined funk.
The flavor reminds me of a watered down red wine. Hints of blackberry, funky plums. I don’t know much about Malbec wine or the blend of red Bordeaux wine but this brew has lots of tannic character with a thin body. Perhaps a red wine drinker would enjoy this a lot. Not a bad brew it’s just out of my knowledge zone.
