Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a mostly dark brown color with some light red hues along the sides. Finger’s worth of tan foamy head that quickly dissipated to leave light messy sliding lace.
The aroma had some coffee bean roast and sweetness. Light hazelnut, some bitter to sweet chocolate.
The flavor was somewhat sweet with the bitterness making a good effort to try and balance somewhat nicely. Malty sweet aftertaste rolled right on into the finish fairly nice.
The feel was between light and medium on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, nicely done brown ale that I could come back to if I could get it again.

The appearance was a dark brown color with a sustaining finger’s worth of tan foamy head. Dissipated slowly and left some spotty lace.
The aroma had some roasted coffee bean, light dark chocolate nibs. Ends with a little bit of earthiness.
The flavor seemed to blend fairly nice between the roast, chocolate nib bitterness and the earthiness. Not much of an aftertaste. Finishes dry with a bittersweet clingy-ness.
The feel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt reasonable.
Overall, pretty good session dry stout worthy of having again.

Can from Kelly and Paul, Thanks Pours a deep amber color with mild clarity and a bubbly off white head that persists. Caramel maltiness with a hint of chocolate. Light fruity earth to counter. Nice gateway craft beer.

Can sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Alon. Hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma of citric hops, a bit floral. Flavor has light bready sweetness, and bitterish citric hops. Light-bodied. Decent, refreshing.

At the source: pours amber with an off white head. Aroma is caramel and toast. Taste is pretty toasty. Somewhat sweet. Plenty of caramel. Easy drinking amber that is somewhat away from normal.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5
At the source: pours slightly hazy with a white head. Aroma is weirdly mossy and dirty but not in a bad way. Taste is very lightly peachy with a nice wheaty finish. Refreshing.
