Brewery nitro draught, 6/5/26.
Rich, fruity yeast mixing with dainty, but fairly rich, honey-like malts. Floral hops but not perfumey, nor do they dominate. Touch of toast and cellar mustiness on the end.
Soft, with bread dough and honey. Touch of toast and good fruitiness adding cherry and other fruits. Supple mouth feel and deep texture but the beer remains dry and refreshing. The flavorful hop and fruity yeast is strong and gives a ton of flavor well past expectations for the abv.

Brewery draught, 6/5/26.
Rich base malt with a healthy but tempered amount of chocolate, earth, mineral and herbaceous hop. Very clean, bright, playful nose.
Rich and malty but never too sweet or soft with excellent attenuation and dark malt used to gently balance. Leafy green and rich herb with balanced bitterness from hop, and a ton of earth and mineral in the finish.

Pours deep mahogany into a tulip. Tan head with little retention recedes to nothing. Clove and molasses aromas. Soft with earthy clove, molasses, and cocoa-dusted brown bread front to back. Warm earthy finish.

Can to mug.
Appearance: dark brown pour and definitely darker in the glass almost black with a finger and a half's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated at a nice pace then left some mild messy lace
Aroma: dark bread/pumpernickel tones with some molasses, cocoa butter and cocoa powder scents and some sweet earthy notes, ever so slight ash but comes across in a sweet sort of way
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet cocoa-like and earthy conglomeration; finishes with a pinch of dryness and a little bit of cocoa powder & dark bread
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to medium; pretty sessiomable; good smoothness and a very little bit of stickiness; great carb level
Overall: a very nicely done Czech dark lager very worthy of coming back to.

Can to stange.
Appearance: clear yellow/golden color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which settled off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet to rustic grains with some honey and a touch of clean skunky/earthy whiffs - the skunkiness seems to dissipate in time and seems more or less just barely a memory if that
Flavor: runs into a fine sweet to earthy spiced quality with a tickle of some biscuity/breadiness in a back wave; finishes crisp, malty and sweet with a touch of spice
Texture: light to medium bodied; very sessionable; very smooth along the tongue; good carb level; and just a wee bit of stickiness but nothing bothersome
Overall: pretty good Kolsch even if I did get a little bit of skunkiness in the beginning but even that seemed nondescript enough for nothing to worry about. I'd come back to this.
