From my brother: golden with a white head. Aroma is grass and lemon and grains. Taste is grassy, grainy and lightly bitter. Quality, drinkable pils. Great pils aftertaste.

Growler with Henry.
This was poured into a lager glass.
The appearance was a soft glistening amber color with a sly transparency about it. Some carbonation could be seen moderately gliding up towards a cap of a little white foamy head. Just trickles of some light stringy lace.
The aroma had some grassy sweet to earthy spiced hops up front over top of some clean caramel/toffee malts. Subtle biscuit qualities.
The flavor was moderately malty sweet and then the hops presented a touch of bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and somewhat earthy. Finish was abrupt and malty.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine. Fairly smooth along my tongue.
Overall, pretty nice amber lager worthy of coming back to.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a semi-hazy red color with a flimsy film of a little white head. No lace.
The aroma stifled in some sweet honey, grassy hops and a little bit of pine. Light toast/cracker-like malt backbone, some caramel/toffee malts. Super light earthiness.
The flavor tried to blend the sweet to the bitter, but ended up leaning towards the sweet side initially. Light aftertaste of the malts with the same sort of finish.
The feel was about medium bodied with a decent sessionable quality about it. Wanted to be smooth, but there was some hop resistance, it wasn’t burdensome, but noticeable.
Overall, I’d like to say they were trying for an English styled IPA and for the most part, I think they accomplished this. Wouldn’t mind having again to see if my thoughts change.

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a dark brown close to black sort of color with a thin tan foamy head. Light lingering lace.
The aroma had some milk and dark chocolate up front with some grassy and earthy hops, light bitterness. Some coffee bean roast.
The flavor yielded to the roast and bitterness of the coffee bean initially and rounded out with some black licorice sweetness. Damp coffee bean and chocolate aftertaste. Light dry chocolatey finish.
The feel was about medium bodied with a fairly decent sessionable sort of quality about it. Good carbonation. ABV felt fine, though coming close to \"imperial\" in style.
Overall, worthy stout of coming back to.

Poured into a mug.
The appearance was a semi-dark brown close to black color with a finger’s worth of eggshell white foamy head that fell off at a moderate pace. Sly lace.
The aroma had some roasted coffee beans, light dark chocolate, light black pepper, some earthy hops - somewhat bitter. Light herbal tones.
The flavor seemed to lean towards the roast initially, some black pepper comes in. Earthiness came back to hit subtly. Some dry woodiness. Left a dry woody to earthy tone in the aftertaste to ride in the finish.
The feel was about medium bodied. Earthy spice along with the black pepper created a touch of harshness along my tongue, but wasn’t too distracting. Roastiness had some ruggedness here, but once again, it wasn’t too abrasive.
Overall, Brocklebank keeping things real yet taking us back to an old school recipe. I never had a porter like this before. And I’m pretty sure I’d like to have this again.
