Full pour at the Forge Brewery. Poured a very light hazy golden orange color with a small white head. Aroma had light grassy notes. Flavor of sweet malts. Light, crisp. Would do well on a hot day.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a velvety black oil color with no, if any head to speak of. Aroma is light malts, nothing over the top, cherry cordial notes. Light milk chocolate. Very much like a βdesertβ, but not sugary sweet and with a decently low alcohol content to make this more drinkable than some high abv alternatives.

Draft at the brewery. Interesting beer. Poured like a cloudy, vibrant yellow-orange color with a small off-white head. Looks like a mimosa. Some juicy fruits here, apricot, mango, with some interesting bitter notes, sweet malts.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a hazy yellow color with a very small wispy head. Aroma was bitter hop cone, some tobacco on the nose. Probably my least favorite of their single hop series. Leafy, bitter tobacco at the end.

Bottle from Forge. Pours hazy chestnut, small kinda fizzy beige head, dissipates leaving a small residual and some lacing. Aroma is malty, dark breads, a bit of ash, raisin. Flavor is medium sweet, light bitter, malty, dark fruits and dark breads, a bit of acidity. Medium body, lingering malty, molasses feel. Not bad.

Tap. Pours opaque black, small tan head, good lacing. Aroma is quite roasty, ashtray, dark breads, touch of hay. Flavor is light sweet, medium bitter, very roasty, a bit burned, some hay and a bit of rye like spice. Not a lot of Belgian influence, but a solid stout.
