8.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Draught at Ginger Man Boston, 7/12 and The Guild, 9/2/17.
Clear, bright, beeswax and goldenrod yellow body shows plentiful carbonation and a fluffy white head that shows moderate retention.
Fresh yeast adds a plethora of minerality as the malt adds a snappy graininess to it that is softly balanced by light honey-like notes from the malt, as well. Proper hopping with noble hops or something akin, showing no pine/grapefruit/resin/orange or any of that jazz. Just fresh cut grass and herbs. No alcohol or flaw.
Crisp, clean, clear and full of mineral water-like notes with fresh yeast, light baked bread and plentiful, but well-attenuated honey-like malt notes. Snappy hops add flavorful grass and herbs with gentle bitterness and there's a proper grainy character on the finish that is quenching and crisp, keeping the beer dry and drinkable. Moderate, engaging carbonation with no flaw or alcohol. Immaculately brewed and highly flavorful stuff. Wonderfully-done to-style. Man do I have to get down to this brewery.

Pours a yellow-green from a bottle, thin white head. Skunky aroma along with some tropical fruit, similar flavor, oily mouthfeel, a little barnyard funk. Meh.

Pours a purplish-red with light pink head from a tap. Aroma was masked by the head. Flavor was mostly raspberry and blackberry, with a slight tea backdrop. Rather thin in the mouth. Okay beer.

Pours an amber from a can, white head dissipates leaving a fair amount of lacing. Aroma is an intense juicy white grape and dankness, maybe some sweat? Flavor is a syrupy grape along with a rather intense bitter grass. Well-balanced malty sweetness with the bitter though. Pretty good beer.

Pours a nice golden amber from a tap. A little thin, somewhat spicy floral and citrus aroma, similar flavor but very thinned out. Good beer.

Pours a nice gold from a can. Crisp grainy aroma lightly assaulted with brisk lemon. Slightly wrestled with crackers in the mouth, palate is firm, but fair. Pretty good beer.

8.5/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 10 Overall 8
Draught at Row 34, 4/21/17.
Dark ebony with some dark chocolate hues and a large, dark beige head atop showing strong retention.
Fresh yeast, mineral, light fudge and caramel with plum and fig-like acidity balancing. Dainty cocoa, light coffee-vanilla; really quite a bit of complexity but nicely balanced between base malt and fruity acidity from the roasted barley. The beer smells fresh and lively, as well, sort of an intangible quality, but certainly important. No alcohol, flaw or intense fudge or acrid roast.
Incredibly soft yet dry malt profile provides moderate choco-caramel sweetness with light coffee transitioning in to light vanilla, plum and raisin on the finish. The dark malts are near-perfect here, making it seem like coffee has been added to the beer and providing fruitiness and acidity without going overboard or fatiguing the palate. The malt sweetness is ample to balance and provide a soft texture but it too doesn’t get fudgey/cakey/syrupy, as many stouts do. Moderate carbonation, nice and engaging, and the beer is a relatively low abv, with a drinkable nature to it (light wateriness, as there should be here). Really god damned impressive. One of the better stouts I’ve had in a while.

Pours a coppery brown from a tap. Immediate ginger and citrus aroma, flavor is a rich but not heavy-handed spiciness with subtle vanilla notes. Well-balanced, pretty good beer.

Pours an opaque black from a tap, roasty aroma. Bittersweet flavor, a bit of toffee, not picking up on any briny oyster flavor. Good beer.
