Moving out of KS rate-a-poolza. 22oz bottle poured into an Ommegang tulip glass. Pours with a strong khaki head atop a black body. As the head fades it leaves a sticky lacing. Aroma is a nice and simple mineral roast, light yet full and clean. Flavor unsweetened cocoa with a clean yet spritzy mouthfeel. Mineral finish with a long but light roast aftertaste. Simple and right on the money.

Parkville Fest 2013. Cool idea for a beer. Pours with a thick head atop a golden body. Corny, lightly clean, boring. Not bad, could drink it but just super boring.

Parkville Fest 2013. Poured from bottle in a horrible six pack. Simply golden colored beer with a decent white head. This is your basic slightly sulfury, slightly metallic, relatively simple corny lager. Plain and simple.

22 oz bomber purchased at Metcalf Discount on 91st Street in Overland Park, Kansas. The pour is a brown burgundy with a 1/2 inch tan head that is lasting. The aroma is chestnut, mild roast, and a grassy earthiness. The taste is the roast, showing a bit of char up front, hitting on the chestnut flavor mid flavor, then moving to mineral and the dry grass in the finish. The palate is light to medium bodied, high carbonation level, and a dry, char roast finish. Nice, easy drinking Porter.

Moving out of KS rate-a-poolza. 12oz bottle poured into a .25L Corsendonk goblet. No date, but must be recent since its a Patty’s Day seasonal.
A quick note about Weston beers: they used to be infected and undrinkable but about 2-3 years ago they fixed the issue, almost deserves a new entry.
After stating that I will say this is a waste of a beer. Stale hops mix with stale malts and a dusty, old, useless beer really. No infection but nothing worthwhile about the beer.

Moving out of KS rate-a-poolza. 12oz bottle poured into a .25L Corsendonk goblet. No date, but at least the store where I bought it cold stores all the beer.

Pours amber-red with a medium head that quickly fades. Loud head. Body is a bit hazy with a low clarity. Aroma is malt driven, low on hops. A muddy, earthy aroma with light vegetal and stale breadiness. Flavor follows suit coming off as an amberish scottish/bitter. I think that is the intention. Better than the ratings but nothing to search out.

Bottle. Pours a clear deep amber with a white head that starts at the edges and remains. Aroma has a lot of bread and biscuit malts with a bit of caramel and straw backing. Flavor is similar with very sweet grains and biscuit backed by a bit of caramel. Doesn’t work for me.

Bottle. Pours a near clear amber gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma is full of bread with a bit of a buttery note with just a hint of earthy grassy hops. Flavor also has a strong bread note with a bit of butter and just a hint of earthy grassy hops.

Bottle @ Brad’s house Minneapolis, courtesy of jcnielsen. Pours a fairly clear golden appearance with a white head. Spicy pepper, celery, a bit fruity, apricot aroma. Tangy, slightly spicy, a bit boozy, apricot/mango flavor. Not horrible but nothing special.

Bottle purchased in Kansas - pour is fairly impressive - black with dark tan head that diminishes to a moderate, soapy lace - nose is a deep roast, light char, mild vinous notes, light mineral, cocoa powder - creamy mouthfeel, fairly full in the mouth - very dry and intensely roasty, with a lot of dark malt bitterness, but no abrasiveness despite their intensity - light tart and vinous notes - finish of espresso and cocoa powder, with a light woodiness - I am liking the hell out of this.
