Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark brown in color with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: toasted nuts, cocoa powder, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, light notes of dark fruits
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a toasty sweet quality with a light bitter tone underneath; finishes semi-dry with the nuts, cocoa powder and dark fruits
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness on the tongue and some dryness too
Overall: nicely done English porter I would welcome again.

Bottle to chalice.
Appearance: dark brown color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark fruits, light toasted nuts, caramel, banana sweetness; slight earthy tones, light cocoa powder, subtle Belgian spicy yeasty notes
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fair sweet to semi-spicy quality; finishes Belgian spicy, dark fruity and subtle bananas
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper; some smoothness but also the "back-of-the-throat" Belgian-like grab I was looking for and with some dryness
Overall: I believe I found another good Belgian beer by an American brewer! I would very much welcome this again!

Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: clear copper color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light messy sticky lace
Aroma: soft honey, subtle bubblegum, herbal tones, some floral scents, fresh lemon peel, funky, vinous, grassy and earthy character
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to semi-spicy quality; finishes herbal/earthy, light lemony and funky
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness along the tongue but also some vinous assertiveness nipping at the tongue
Overall: pretty good saison worthy of possibly coming back to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark yellow semi-cloudiness with a finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: lemongrass, floral, light hay notes, some herbal tones with a clean bready/biscuity malt backbone
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine malty sweetness; finishes clean through the hay/lemongrass and floral portions
Texture: light bodied, sessionable; very smooth along the tongue
Overall: nicely done pilsner but I couldn't exactly pinpoint if a German or Czech one, perhaps a cross or even one of those noted modern pilsners. I'd still have this again.

Bottle. Not a big fan of this style but thought this one was very good. Cloudy gold with a giant long lasting head with lots of lace. Aroma was a fruity and slightly spicy smell with a touch of funk. Taste was a complex fruity taste that had notes of wine like sourness.
