Draught at Brewer's Tap and Table, 6/27/18.
Clear, brass-copper. White head sits at cover.
Mineral and plaster rise up very aromatically in the nose. Wow, was not expecting that! Would actually guess this to be German-made. Herbal, leafy, fresh noble hops complete the picture and there is a great white bread and sourdough maltiness lingering with faint honey, on the end. Clean and enjoyable.
Honey, bread and mineral in the mouth with perfect attenuation and good maltiness. Bit of plastic/wax is the only slight detractor, but this is pretty top-notch stuff.

16 oz can from Tavour. Deep golden body, two finger foamy head. Bready, malty aroma gives way to some milfly biting hoppiness, but the caramel malts carry the day. Thick and rich

12 oz can pours clear dark gold, medium bodied with light carbonation. Not much aroma. Tastes like flat champagne with some funk. Unpleasant finish.

Draught @ Albion. Opaque dark brown with small beige foamy head, faint coffee aroma, adequate carbonation, mildly bitter coffee taste, with coconut flavor, thin body, longish finish with coconut aftertaste. Coconut is quite dominant, but not bad.

Pours hazy gold into shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Peach and funk aromas. Soft with sour peach, unripened pear and wheaty funk front to back. Lasting bitter crushed seed finish.

Aromaz are kind of a basic fruity tart combo. Flavors are similar to nose slightly on the dry side nothing too remarkable and actually kind of forgettable. Good body and decent finish but again nothing that stands out.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Andover Liquors. Appearance is hazy dark brown with mahogany, dark particulates, decent sparkle, finger-width light brown foamy head with fair retention and trace leggy lacing. Aroma is strong coconut, mild almond, roasted chocolatey malts. Taste is as aroma. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, slick texture, average-to-lively carbonation and mostly sweet finish as taste with late bitter. Overall, the coconut dominates both the base porter and the almond. That's not a bad thing but makes it less complex.
