On tap at Callister, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of oats, some roast and a little dry cocoa. Flavour is hearty, with dry toasted malt and lots of oats. Not the most dynamic, but it's quite robust for a low ABV stout. Well-constructed, drinkable stout.

On tap at Callister, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out fresh piney hops upfront, with some tropical fruits and biscuity malt. Flavour is quite dry and not quite as full, with some piney hops and dry biscuity malt. Decent balance, with a fairly flat palate. Decent.

Draft - Light caramel and some hop leaf. Clear gold with a decent white head. Orange hoppy notes, a bit of sticky and a bit of bitterness in the finish. OK, but a bit boring.

Draft - Tons of roast and toast with some toffee. Jet black with a small brown head. Roast and toast with a bit of bitterness and toast in the finish. Aggressive, but tasty for the abv.

On tap at Callister, pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of spiciness from the rye, along with some fruitiness and light fruity esters. Flavour is quite fruity and spicy. The spiciness from the rye is most prominent upfront, then the sweetness kicks in. Don't really get much Belgian yeast at all. Bready and spicy on the finish. Nothing special but reasonably done.

On tap at Callister, pours dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma brings out tons of bourbon upfront, with a touch of roast and cocoa. Flavour is along the same lines, with vanilla and bourbon upfront, followed by a little cocoa. For a porter that they dumped bourbon into, this works very well. Enjoyable.

on tap. Pours a very dark brown with light white head. Aromas of nuts, coffee, and dry roasted malts. Flavors of same with emphasis on nutty. Possibly some resiny hops. Pretty much a simple easy drinking porter

On tap at Callister, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small tan head. Aroma is quite earthy, with bready notes, toasted nuts and an earthy character. Flavour is fruitier than the nose suggested, with red fruits, toasted malt, and earthy cocoa notes on the finish. Fairly dry despite the red fruits upfront. Solid stuff, though could use more robustness.

On tap at Callister, pours a cloudy darkish orange with a small white head. Aroma is very fruity, with young funky bretty notes and some prominent red berry fruitiness. Flavour is along the same lines, with astringent funky bretty notes, along with the aforesaid fruitiness. Fairly astringent on the finish, with a soft palate. A little harsh, but still fairly tasty. Decent.

Draught at Callister
Hazy amber color with small head. The aroma is promising, very fruity, tropical, but also some yeast; and some acetaldehyde. Mild malt flavor with a shade of caramel, and light residual sweetness, with low carbonation; expectedly it’s quite bitter, there are hop resins and some bitter oranges, the mild Brett seems to fight with the elbows to fit in, instead of working together and improve the malt and hop, and the final is a bit weak on the malt side and a bit earthy.
Not bad, but I’m sensing a rather chaotic and dirty pale ale.
