Pours black with a small tan head. It smells of roast malt and resinous hops. The flavor is moderately bitter, if not more, with roast malt and coffee. Pretty good.

Pours black with a small tan head. The aroma is mainly roasted malt and chocolate. The flavor is of dark roast malt, chocolate, coffee, and oats. It's on the sweet side. Full bodied. It's very good, hitting the usual notes for this bold style, without being truly outstanding.

Lightly hazy orange pour. It smells mainly of piney, resinous hops. The flavor is bitter and resinous balanced by an almost cough syrupy malty sweetness. Medium bodied, it's an okay beer.

Can drunk 7.29.18.
Dark gold to copper. Small white head showing low retention. Clear.
Horrifically oxidized in both aroma and flavor. Normally I'd skip reviewing in this situation, but this can was both bought from the fridge and is undated, so I feel pretty swindled as a customer.

Pours a hazy orange-gold color with a medium thick bone white head that recedes gradually to an outer ring. Stringy lacing. Citrus, hops and malt in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of floral hops, fruit and doughy malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a short hoppy aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Draft. Peach, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Hazy golden yellow with small head. Mildly sweet peach, milky biscuit malt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Kind of heavy body. Peach flavor subdued.

tap at Fortezza’s, the placemat showed it as Red Ryeding Hood, the chalk board listed it as Wry American. The bartender says the name was changed to Wry American shortly before they released it. Still trying to figure out if it’s the same beer with a different name or a different beer. - Pours lightly hazy amber and smells mainly of rye and malt. The flavor is caramel malt and rye and is quite sweet. There’s a fair amount of hops hiding under all that malt and it comes through more in the finish. It strikes me as a bit medicinal though and like the other Chapman’s beers in my flight, the sweetness is cloying, though not nearly as much so as the Monstre.

tap - Pours near black with a lingering tan head that laces heavily. The aroma is of roast malt and coffee. It tastes of dark roast malt and more coffee, has a medium to full body, and the dark roast flavor lingers pleasantly. It’s a well balanced, enjoyable stout.

tap - This IPA pours hazy copper colored and has an off-white head that leaves lots of lacing. The aroma has citrus and pine hop characteristics. The flavor features good, crisp, assertive hops bitterness with some citrus notes and a long bitter finish. It’s a very solid IPA.

tap - This brew has a very mild, malty aroma. The flavor is of caramel malt, maybe a touch of citrus and has at most moderately strong hops bitterness. It’s light to medium bodied. It’s okay.
