On tap @Zebulon while Wally ignores me to look for patron's dropping food. Dark, raisin-y, dark brown on not quite black, small lather. Candied, mildly fruity, caked, delicious nose. Smooth, silky feel. Savory ginger cookies & fruit cake spices. Touch of honey & fresh banana. Bit of warmth. Mellow carbonation keeping things from getting sticky. Cleaner yeast than a normal quad, which works for me Really great.

On tap @Zebulon but just labeled blueberry sour, 5.4%. Clear, rose-y copper pour with a skim-y head. Macerated & caramelized grape juice smell. Half twang, medium acid, lots of blueberry skin, lime, tannic dry finish. Half-sour, a touch of burnt white sugar. Not enough nuance. Better than pedestrian but still very approachable. Medium carb, a little frothy. Wife approved. Liked.

On tap @Zebulon. Dark brown on black, wispy head. Medium roast coffee, black cake, very slight fruitiness. Mild coffee, wood ash, burnt sugar, aged hops, calcium. Ashy texture, slightly milky feel, strong forced carbonation. Good but I think Whaley Farms down the road had a slightly better swing at this.

750ml bottle pours out dark brown almost black topped with a tan head. Nose is smoke ash some wood notes and a little meat. Taste is more of the nice smoke wood meat notes. Not as bad as I was expecting.

Shared by explosivedog: pours pinkish with white head. Aroma is loads of berries... slightly funky. Taste is lightly sweet, sort of sour, lightly fruity. Quite good.

Cask at the brewery. Beautiful dark copper colour with nice thick, firm, lasting head. Malty, some fruity notes, biscuit, very smooth and easy drinkable. Nice moderate bitter finish. One of the best examples of the style.
