Crowler from the source shared. Thanks Matt! Pours a thick and viscous deep brown to black with a small bit of beige head that lingers. Very chocolate milk forward nose with coffee and bourbon notes. Some vanilla as it warms. Smooth and rich on the palate, very full-bodied and complex for the abv. Barrel notes are there with a touch of bourbon coming in mid-palate and lingering towards the finish, but it never overpowers the base beer. Excellent example of a low abv stout being complex with barrel treatment and not losing any body either. Great. --- Beer merged from original tick of Barrel Aged Love Supreme on 10 Mar 2018 at 19:41 - Score: 9

Groovy IPA, west coast as hell with a wicked bitter streak and a wonderful mix of resin, citrus, and earthy hop notes. Mild malts form a solid cracker-ish base, while the finish gives a clingy, pine-laden finish. Pours a beautiful unhazed gold with a massive white head and endless lacing. Nose offers up citrus and dank. Oily and well-carbonated, like a good IPA should be. Delicious.

Oh so lovely, with indulgent waves of vanilla, chocolate, and coffee, yet still remaining easygoing and friendly. Subtly sweet, and with a strong oak presence on the back end, but the moderate ABV means you can have more than one glass without getting floored. Imperial stout richness in a manageable package. Nice.

Tasty IPA, West Coast-ish without entirely relishing in the punishing bitterness highlighting the style. Lots of lemon, grapefruit, mango, stone fruit, and dank notes, with moderate pine finish and some good ol' IPA vitriol on the back end. Not as bitter as I'd hoped, but still very drinkable, and the toasty biscuit malts never grow overly sweet. Massive tropical-pine nose, and the pour comes out a hazy gold with a fluffy white head and moderate lacing. Perky IPA feel is a plus. Good beer.

Draft at SG 2 Year Anniversary. Pours a deep gold with some orange with a finger of creamy foam. Big hop-forward nose with tangerine and peach aromas. Sweet on the palate with a somewhat creamy mouthfeel. More peach and mandarin notes. Medium bitterness on the finish. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Hop Kush on 10 Feb 2018 at 18:29 - Score: 7

Draft pour at SG 2 Year Anniversary. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of beige foam that lingers. Big vanilla, coffee and creme brulee aromas. Some dark fruit on the palate, blueberry and hazelnut sweetness. Somewhat drier on the finish. Body is a little thin, but really makes up for it with the big flavors. --- Beer merged from original tick of Love Supreme Stout on 10 Feb 2018 at 18:29 - Score: 7

Pretty good milk stout, a bit more restrained than most H&A stouts, with an easygoing milk chocolate soul and a subtle but pervasive lactose sweetness. Slight notes of coffee cherries, anise, and a little dried fruit, with a back end that offers up a mild roasted malt vein and a gentle hop bitterness. Pours a thick brown-black with a beige head and modest lacing. Straight chocolate sauce on the nose. Mellow texture goes down easily. Not bad.

Shocking how drinkable these H&A Kush IPAs can be. Bahama Mama lives up to its namesake, with subtle notes of orange and pineapple on top of a slightly more prominent cherry streak. Lactose adds a gentle but welcome vanilla-tinged sweetness, while the finish grows citric and moderately bitter. Pours a slightly hazed gold with the slightest of pink tinge, a fluffy white head, and healthy lacing. Loads of citrus, pineapple, and cherry on the nose. Slick-n-creamy feel is accented by perky carbonation. Tasty pint.

Somewhat perfunctory NEDIPA, juicy as hell, opaque as milk, and with just enough deep, resinous bitterness on the back end to make it a worthy pint. Tons of grapefruit, lemon zest, mango, and berry on the front end, all backed up by a thick, grainy malt base and a citric, moderately bitter fade. Pours a uber-hazed yellow-gold with a thin white head and slight lacing. Incredible juiced-up hop nose, full of citrus and pine with a little booze mixed in. Good feel with a slight bit of heat. Not bad.

Delicious milk stout, waves of vanilla and coffee mixing with a subtly sweet chocolate center and a mild roasted bitterness on the finish. Pours a thick, opaque brown with a thin beige head and plenty of lace. Decadent aroma of pipe tobacco, vanilla, coffee, and chocolate. Smooth, sumptuous texture. Tasty as hell.
