Can (6/5/20) pour from Friar Tuck, Crestwood. Appearance is dark brown with light sparkle at the edges of the glass, thin ring of light khaki head and no lacing. Aroma is roasted malt. Taste is roasted malt, lactose, light vanilla. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation and sweet finish as taste. Overall, the lactose makes the taste and mouthfeel stand out. Good.
Bottle thanks to Mike. Pours black with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong bourbon, vanilla, oak, roast. Slick body, bourbon, licorice, cocoa, roast, nice sweetness, dry finish, very nice.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with lots of white floaties and a large white head. Aroma is tropical fruit and red berries. Flavor is more berries with some Flintstone vitamin fruity sweetness. There is no bitterness on the finish but the sweetness lingers. There has to be some fruit juice or artificial fruit flavoring in this to make it so sweet. Kind of odd.

Pour is a orange with a little peach color. A lot of junk poured out of the bottle. Aroma is again a fresh cut peach. Flavor is a mild peach and a larger than should be alcohol. FInish is clean and quickly gone. Barely OK. You get some peach notes but the beer itself is pretty bland.

Pour is a ugly looking blonde with greenish highlights. Aroma is mosaic fruity hops followed by some either rye or maris otter malts. Flavor is some very slight fruity hops but again I'm thinking maris otter malt takes over and kinds of drowns out the hops. This is not a NEIPA, this is more English IPA with American hops used.

Pour is a hazy looking gravy with a small white head. Aroma is peaches like it says on the can. Flavor is a mild peach with some assorted berries in there. For as murky as it looks it has a surprisingly thin mouthfeel. Other than that this is a good fit for the category and the lower alcohol makes this a bit more drinkable.

Pour is a chill haze gold with a large fluffy white head. Aroma is white cracker malt and also some rye. Flavor is more pale lager malt and again there has to be some spicy rye in here somewhere. Finish is gone in a second. Nothing special but then again it is a little different than the usual pale lager.
