Bottle. Fruity aroma with some traces of pine and hops. Malt sweetness with much hoppiness like a good IPA. Lingering hop finish with a bit of metal for which a demerit. Overall a drinkeable IPA.

Another rare beer from Skyview. The aroma is simple with sugar and fruit. Flavor is a little bit sour, and I’m not sure if it is intentionally sour or not, but it tastes good either way. More fruit, thick, and a sweet finish. Almost no hop presence. An usual, interesting quality barleywine.

From Skyview’s growler carried back from Montana. The aroma has malt and soy sauce. It is a very thick beer, heavy and slow pouring. Black and almost no carbonation. I was happy that there was no whisky flavor. Thick beer. Flavor has roasted malt, just a litlte smoke, more soy sauce, some alcohol and unprocessed grain. Not quite world class, but well done. 7/5/7/5/14 Rerate from a bottle. Big wine flavor, and light sourness in addition to the other flavors. Much better from the bottle.

Light floral hop aroma backed by light malt. Orange tinted amber color with a white head that didn’t entirely leave, and gives a lace tease. As the glass approaches the mouth the hop aroma intensifies. Starts with floral hop. Some malt accompanies this, but it’s mostly about the hop. The finish has a little bitter, and floral notes hang around. If the carbonation was toned down, this would be close to an ESB. Really enjoyable.

Aroma of toffee, coffee and light hints of chocolate. Deep brown color with ruby hilites. Beige head that leaves quickly with some light lacing. Medium+ mouthfeel. Sort of chewy, a bit of sour, along with chocolate malt, not sweet. There is enough hop to balance the dark malt. A rather dry finish. Not nearly so harsh as most browns, but not so smooth as Newcastle by a long bit. Maybe a bit of fruit in the finish. Pretty tasty ale.
