Whetstone: pours gold with a white head. Aroma is loads of dank citrus a biscuity malts. Taste is nice and bitter but it is also quite bright. Very well balanced and very tasty. Easily the best i had of theirs.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours lightly unclear yellow-gold with a frothy, white head. Nice beer, with simple pale malts, moderate dryness, light cereal and a bit of lemon rind. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes well with further pale bread, mild bitter hay, some lemony hops. Very decent.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours black-brown with a creamy, tan head. A good ashy stout, with reasonable balance, sturdy roast, bitter cocoa. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Feels good. Finishes with lingering ashy roast, scorched earth and baking cocoa. Very nice.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours hazy amber-brown with a thick, creamy tan head. Pretty tasty, with some toasted bread, light toffee, hints of coffee and dried fruits. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. More toasted malts in the finish with accents of earthy coffee. Good.

Pitch black. Classic stout nose. Chocolate, ash and charcoal. Mouthfeel is really good. Really creamy, no booziness. Chocolate throughout. Thin taste

Hazy orange 1 finger creamy head. Smells like juicy simcoe amarillo and citra. Taste is huge bitterness, mild juicy grapefruit. Incredibly astringent. Way too bitter. Creamy mouthfeel. Like chewing on spruce tips.

Lightly hazy black beer with a small, light beige head that recedes to cover.
Dark malts mix with citrusy hops in the nose to produce a good rendition of an orange flavored coffee, while the oak chips or barrel or whatever they use contribute a good toasty, very mildly buttery note that helps overshadow the hops, lending more of a porter-like feel to this beer. No tacky resins or huge alpha acid presence here.
Slightly hoppier in flavor, though the oak helps take some of the focus off of that, adding vanilla, touches of rum-like notes and plenty of toasted notes that mingle with the moderately roasty, rather chocolatey malt flavors. Light to moderate carbonation, mostly tight and a slightly oily texture make it easy drinking, while no alcohol or harsh bitterness persists on the finish. Fruitier as it warms. Nice! Good restraint on the barrel character and love to see the continued lack of overhopping in all of these guys beers.

Cocoa-brown body has some maroon highlights and a beige head that is small, showing moderate retention. Clarity seems to be pretty high for a stout.
Liquorous-like nose has almost a vanilla extract-like note coupled with some tartness and bitter chocolate. Nicely dry. Roastiness is rather subdued being on nitro, as is the aroma in general, of course.
Sweet, velvety chocolate notes are immediately quite sweet and rich but are then quickly balanced by an acidic, bitter chocolate note and some dusty cocoa and vanilla notes. Banana esters and of course a lightly sweet lactose flavor sit on the end. Watery from the nitrogen, with an oily texture from the roast. Don’t love sweet stouts on nitro. This one’s not intensely sweet or anything, but the balancing roastiness is too sharp and acidic which really goes nowhere with the watery palate. Some tighter, stronger carbonation would have really benefited the beer, but I know it’s pretty "traditional" to do stouts on nitro when you can (it’s not, actually, but people just love their nitro, I guess).
