Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown in the pour but leaves more of a black color in the glass with a lasting finger's worth of tan foamy head head and that took it's time to dissipate then leave a little bit of lace
Aroma: dark chocolate, cocoa powder, black coffee, earthy sweetness, light notes of char and a touch of toast
Flavor: leans towards the dark chocolate & cocoa powder with the black coffee tones; finishes semi-dry through the coffee, and cocoa powder notes
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, smooth with appropriate dryness, good carb level
Overall: nicely done Irish dry stout worth coming back to.
gave a cheers!

On tap at Vermont Tap House, Williston, VT on 08/26/2017.
Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: cloudy yellow pale color with a quickly dissipating frothy white head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: light Brett/sour notes, some citrusy hop tones, light oak sweetness with rounded tones of some mineral water then sweet woody aspects
Flavor: leads with a subtle sweetness then a light tart and sour fusing from under; finishes somewhat citrusy sweet with an ample tart to sour brushing
Texture: light to medium bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper; some smoothness to it
Overall: nicely done saison I'd be willing to partake in again.

Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: copper to dark orange color with a finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: starts with some black pepper and a touch of more of a crushed coriander tone then some honey with some wet hay scents then some orangey whiffs
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine semi-spicy to bitter sort of quality underscored by a little bit of the honey; finishes the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning into being a sipper; some smoothness but also a touch of dryness
Overall: pretty good saison I believe I could come back to.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: copper color with an ever so slight transparency along the sides of the glass with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to piney hops with a touch of floral and a light woody tone to them as well; slight malty backbone - somewhat bready
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a fine semi-sweet to slightly bittersweet quality; finishes leaning into the malts and a little bit of non-distracting dry note
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability; good smoothness, good level of carb to this
Overall: I liked this one for me and would welcome it again.

Can to mug.
Appearance: semi-glossy burnt yellow to copper color with a finger and a quarter of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: light cereal notes, some floral to grassy hops with straw
Flavor: fuses the prior noted aromas to a fine biscuity to floral sweet and bittersweet quality; finishes the same way with a touch of dryness
Texture: light bodied, sessionable and a welcoming smoothness rolling along the tongue
Overall: I say a pretty nicely done Helles lager very worthy of coming back to.

Can to mug.
Appearance: bronzed yellow color with a sly transparency and a two finger white foamy head which trailed off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: wet grains, floral/herbal tones, sweet smoke, some honey, and a dose of bready malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fair and balanced smoky bready and herbal quality; finishes smoky smooth with a touch of herbal character
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; very smooth along the tongue; nice even flow of soothing smoke from the front to the back
Overall: that was a different way of doing a smoked beer and I liked that very much despite there wasn't any bacon/ham-like features but yes, I'm okay with that and would revisit this one.

Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bready sweet to funky toned citrusy to floral quality; finishes funky dry with bready to tart and floral tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning to be a sipper; some smoothness but ample amount of dryness hitting in a semi-sour and funky sort of way
Overall: pretty nicely done saison worth coming back to.
