Pours black into an English pint. Mocha head with good retention pancakes and recedes leaving spider lacing. Dark chocolate and licorice aromas. Medium bodied with dark chocolate, licorice and espresso upfront turning to soy and pumpernickel in the soft, medium length finish.

Bottle at home for Patriots playoff game. Dark orange brew lotttle cloudy. Not many bubbles and minimal head. Nose is light farmhouse cherry and bourbon. Tastes of log but bourbon which add creaminess and light sweetness. Cherry is pleasant and hay and wood, touch peppery. Body is creamy.

16 oz can. This is labeled as a Helles lager by the brewer. Aroma of grass, Noble hops, crackery malt. Taste is apple, mild hay, and ends on sweet cereal malt. Dry, crisp texture. Good body. This is the most flavorful Helles I’ve ever had. It ends a bit sweet but that is what I like about it.

Draught at Beer Love: pours light orange with a small head. Strawberry, honey, yeast and flowers. Taste is sweet and lightly tart. Nice fruity notes and ample honey. Pretty nice and drinkable. Reminds me of the honey kombucha I had today.

Single from that bottle shop in Nashville. You know the one. Sleepy time in the fridge for like 8 months. Canned 12/20/24... it's porter.
Pint glass at home. Tall tan head that cleanly recedes. Dark brown body with some vino highlights.
Licorice & unsweetened choco nose with a bit of ash.
Dark & sharp malt, bitter char, red wine dark fruit, subtly pleasant acid & accompanying sweetness. Lingering astringent char.
Drinks thin & easy. Like.

Can from trade with ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Clear, pale yellow, light sparkle, thin head with fair retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong malt, bread crust, mild florals, lager yeast. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste, lingering dry bitterness. A lager with good strength. Light additional interest.

12 oz can in a trade with Clarkvv. Thank you! Aroma shows me mild honey, like hints with baked bread and mild lager yeast. Flavor follows the aroma with a light crisp texture. Good malt backbone for the ABV. Nothing too complex but certainly is well-made and clean.

5 oz draft at YRL. Aroma of mild rye grain and soft caramel. Flavor falls with a very mild hint of smoke and ash. Very weak maple. Extremely flavorful for the style. i’m going to venture to say this is my highest rated smoke beer ever. Since I’m personally not a fan of smoke malt.

Pours clear gold into a tulip. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving spider lacing to coat surface. Horse blanket and lemony funk aromas. Sharp and tart with horse blanket, aspirin and lemon zest front to back. Lasting earthy brett funk and lemon pith finish. Visions of lemony Spoon Whacker.
