Excellent barleywine, reminiscent of Bigfoot but offering more balance, with heavy notes of caramel underlined by citrus pith and dried fruit, followed by pine and a moderate woody bitterness. Delicious.

Very acidic for an American stout, with a strong cascara presence overshadowing the unsweetened chocolate and dry roast. Undertones of berry and caramel. Finishes dry and moderately bitter. I dig the back end, but that bright acidity is distracting.

Very raw quality to this pint, with an outsized wort note offset by yeast, apple, and a modest citrus bitterness. Finishes with a lingering pine and mineral streak. Seems unrefined.

Odd IPA, with a husky, toasted graininess that adds a dark roast coffee-ish quality to the pint. Citrus and a slight stone fruit note leads to pine on the back end. Just an all-around weird pint.

Hoppy, floral saison, offering up a mix of clove, vanilla, cut grass, and a touch of pear and banana, with a firm bitterness on the back end. Bitter streak comes on strong for the style, but drinkable.

Just labeled as Saison in the tap room & their website, 7.8%. Orange-y gold, slightly jellied, tulip pour while waiting for our dinner table to open up nearby. Peppery, yeasty, apple aromatics. Taste is black pepper, lime leaf, earthy bitterness, starch, lingering mild pith. Spirited, crispy, quaffable. Great.
