Can thanks to Paul. Pours a dark amber with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is nuts and cocoa. Slick body, roasted malt, cocoa, walnut, clean finish, very good.

Pour is a clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is an English grain malt with a little lemon spritz. Flavor is again a chewy rustic grainy bread with a little lemon hop bitterness on the back end. Summer crusher for sure.

Pour is a black with a foamy tan head. Aroma is a slight roasted malt. Flavor is much the same a very slight roasted malt with a little bitterness on the back end. This was overall pretty light all around and a little bit underwhelming for this brewer.

Brewery draught, 2/16/24. Gently hazy, bright lemon-golden. Small, white head, low retention. Nose is bright with some nutty wheat, lemony character and minimal malt, little/no hops. Softish, with a slick, wheaty texture. Light lemon, basic white bread and cracker character with a bit of peppery note, light fruitiness and a short finish. Very basic, as an American wheat is apt to be.

Brewery draught, 2/16/24. Clear golden. Small, white head to ring slowly. Peppery honey fermentation with a bit of actual honey, vanilla, caramel and biscuit. Honey, pepper, honey-like malt. Clean, a bit sticky. Floral and peppery notes help but it's a bit bready and phenolic.

Brewery draught, 2/16/24. Clear amber-raspberry. Small, dark beige head to cover. Fruity, malty, lots of toffee, mineral, earth, spice. Extra hop in there goes a long way to balance. Clean. Soft, rich, juicy, fruity, good bitterness with sticky toffee and raisin. Very flavorful and drinkable. Fruity.

Brewery draught, 2/16/24. Saw there's an Irish stout in the database but this on is a full 1.2%abv higher. Dark, clear, perfectly retained, off-white head. Really like the water, mineral, lush grass and such that you don't get in most American versions. Actually reminds of Guinness in Ireland (I know, I know...). Vegetal, peppery, mineral rich, light roast. Could be a Guinness or Kilkenny. Perfect execution.

Brewery draught, 2/16/24. Dark, clear, small, dark beige head. Nose is honey, coffee, sticky toffee and vanilla. Clean, not over roasted. Soft, sticky, malty but nicely dry without excessive coffee or roast. Clean, fruity, snappy, even.

Brewery draught, 2/16/24. Clear light amber. Light beige head slit to light cover. Pepper, greens, moderate toast. Bit of cherry and vanilla. Clean. Soft, but toasty. Maybe a touch breadier than I'd prefer, with long toast, light acid and minimal fruit. Good bitterness, dry. Could use a bit more base malt depth.
