Growler from Adam. Thanks! First SD tick. Murky golden pour, small airy head. Floral, yeasty aroma, sourdough. Taste too puts the Belgian yeast up front, nice malts, smooth and creamy. Nice!

On tap at the brewery. Dang, I thought this was going to be smoked. Pours black with tan foam. Tastes roasty, dry, lightly sweet. Flavors of ash, chocolate, vanilla, cola, dark bread. A tad thin. Not bad.

On tap in a flight at the brewery. Pours black, with a thin, fleeting, beige head. The nose is chicory, espresso, cedar wood, toasted oak, and resin. Oddly sharp bitterness, but it cuts the sweetness pretty nicely. Medium body, sticky, creamy, and thick. Weirdly bitter and harsh for a milk stout, but it works pretty well. Easily the best beer in the flight.

On tap in a flight at the brewery. Pours dark brown, with no head, but some lacing. Good aromas of toast and roasted malts, with some earthiness and rye. Malty and sweet, with just a touch of bitterness. Light body, with a grainy and malty mouthfeel. Pretty nice Irish red ale.

On tap in a flight at the brewery. Nice, brownish, orange color, with some fine, beige remnants of a head. Pine, butterscotch, and some hay and earth. Sweet and malty, with a sharp, nice bitterness. Medium body, sticky, a little acidic, and hard. This is a pretty solid pale ale. Malt forward, with earthy and musty hops.

On tap in a flight at the brewery. Pours cloudy, murky, yellow, with the barest hint of head. Rotten oranges, black pepper, cardamom, juniper, and licorice. Sweet flavor, with a kick of awful bitterness and the kind of sour that makes you recoil. Light to medium body, with a sticky, acidic, and pretty smooth feel. This is truly terrible. Harsh, unpleasant, and difficult to drink. Only finished half the taster.

On tap in a flight at the brewery. Pours a clear, urine-esque, yellow color, with no head or hint of one. The nose is corn, agave nectar, some herbal hop spice, and dirt. The flavor is sweet and malty, with a pretty fair, hop bitterness that balances out well. Light body, smooth, and crisp. This is a sickly looking, awful smelling beer, but the flavor is almost passable. Could be worse.
