Draft. Pours yellow. Nose/taste of cheese, lemon acid, lactose and sour banana. Lighter medium body.

Bottle at EBF. Pours black tan head. Nose/taste of rum, oaky vanilla, roast chocolate and sweet chocolate. Medium body.

Bottle. Aroma is big on spent coffee grounds and like chocolate malt, light roast. Flavor is coffee forward with the spent beans lingering after the sip. Texture is on the lightly creamy side with a slightly thin body. Maybe add some oats to thicken this up a bit? The finish is lightly bitter coffee. Thicken up the body here and this is a home run.

Pours gold into a shaker. Resin aromas. Dry with caramel upfront turning to tropical fruit before the lasting pine resin finish.

Draft @ Dover Brickhouse. Hazy straw gold color with lasting head in a standard shaker glass. Floral and grapefruit peel in the aroma with a mild honey hint.

The flavor is much like the aroma with the honey sweetness giving balance to a nice hop profile of grassy, grapefruit and pine array. The body is lighter yet refreshing with a nice crispness. The bitterness has a good lingering affect with a dry ending. I could have drank a few more of these if I didn’t have to drive. Otherwise it is a IPA that can be drank easily.

Pours black into a pint glass. Mocha head with good retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Chocolate and espresso aromas. Dry with chocolate and dark caramel front to back. Mild espresso finish.

Draft at Positive Pie, Montpelier, VT. Mostly black color with tan head that lasting for an extremely long time leaving a fluffy foam until the last drop. Aroma of roasted barley, chocolate malts, ashy.

Flavor is roasted barely, roasted tones, coffee grounds hints. Palate is on the borderline of being astringent. Lots of coffee bitterness with a creamy, smooth texture inside a medium body. I enjoyed the mouthfeel and body, hearty feeling. Drinkable without a doubt.

A deep dark stout wIthaca a thin brown head. In arom, smooth subdued chocolate malt with light milky character. In mouth, a nice bitter chocolate with burned cereals, a bit astringent. On tap at the Mule Bar.

Cloudy yellow grapefruit nose. Taste is bread dough, sourdough with yeasty astringency, American pine hops with some Saaz or hallertau thrown in. Crisp finish.
