Miles, Brooklyn tap ($6): Pours light brown with a slightly off-white head. Aroma is earth, toffee, and bread. Taste is earthy malts with a slight hop bite. Not too much going on in the taste, but what is happening is quite good. Great bready aftertaste. Very slight bitterness. Extremely easy to drink. It would be excessively easy to down a great number of these. A good foray into this style for Barrier.

Bottle sample at Dror’s place. Thanks Dror. Opaque black with a firm, rather stable, light brown head. Aroma is heavily roasted, a bit burnt, with coffee, lots of dark chocolate, a bit of licorice and a bit of alcohol. Bittersweet flavor with dark chocolate, coffee, big roastiness, a bit of alcohol, a bit of dark fruits notes and an ashy bitter finish. Rather full-bodied, kinda silky. Very nice.

The Sampler, Brooklyn tap: Pours copper with a white head. Aroma is smoke, light meat, with a little sweet malts. Taste is smoky up at the front, but then goes into a somewhat sweet lager. The smoke really isn’t powerful enough or distinctive enough for me and sort of takes second whistle to the malts as you continue sipping.

Location: Draft at Growler, 3/28/14
Aroma: The nose is fruity hops, some grass, and some sweet malts
Appearance: It pours a clear orange color with a creamy head and sticky lace
Flavor: The flavor is medium sweet and medium bitter, balanced, English-style flavor
Palate: This one is clean and drinkable, it has a medium body, and a soft carbonation
Overall Impression: This is a nice lighter hopped IPA. English-style. Simple and solidly made. I'd drink this again.

Miles, Brooklyn tap ($6): Pours red with an off-white head. Aroma is caramel malts, some lightly fruity hops. Taste is just a tad sweet. Nice underlying hoppiness. Ultimately, I was expecting a tad more. But this was still a nice brew from Barrier.

Miles, Brooklyn tap ($6): Pours black with a nice brownish head. Aroma is a combination of roasted malts, chocolate, piny hops, and just a little bit of citrus. Taste is less assertively IPA than it is in many other iterations of this style. This is more of an assertively hopped porter. In any case, I thought it was tasty.

On draught at Fette Sau. Clear dark golden color with a medium fizzy white head that evaporates steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of grassy hops and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of herbal hops, doughy malt and a touch of fruit. The finish is mildly bitter with a spicy hop aftertaste. Decent overall.
