The appearance was a mild hazy gold sort of color with a quickly removed semi-foamy white cap of a head. Lace? It’s somewhat there, slightly speckled and messy.
The aroma had some sweet grain/toast/cereal, light honey, subtle lemon rind then
some floral hop qualities.
The flavor tried to blend the previously mentioned aromas together somewhat sweetly, but seems to keep a slight separation between the sweet and the bitter portions. Somewhat lemon/earthy sort of herbal aftertaste and dampened the finish in the same sort of way.
On the palate, this one sat between a light and medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. ABV felt fine. Moves nicely along my tongue.
Overall, decent APA that I think I could have again.

The appearance was a black color with a nice looking foamy eggshell white head. Slow dissipation. Mild lace.
The aroma had a nice blend of roasted coffee beans, moderate milk chocolate sweetness, light dark chocolate nibs. Touch of dark fruits at the end.
The flavor leans towards the sweet side initially and then develops into the roast fairly nice. Light acceptable herbal kick hits and then helps to blend into the aftertaste. Sly earthy/dark fruity/roasty sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about medium bodied, maybe just a touch higher. Good sipper. ABV did feel right where the brewer projected.
Overall, I liked this RIS, very well done. We’re getting there Vermont, aren’t we, (with our stouts)?

Reviewed from notes. Disclaimer: Usually not a fan of this style and mostly hard for me to rate this one actually to style, but given Pro Pig’s creativity in doing something different, well, here’s the rest. The appearance was a semi-pale yellow color with some carbonation seen rising at a fair pace. No head or no lace but expected.
The aroma smelled like the last malt liquor I just had before this.
The flavor was the same as mentioned aroma, same aftertaste, same finish.
On the palate, this one was a medium on the body with a sipping kind of quality about it. ABV seemed a bit higher than what the brewer projected in this one. I really think this seemed way more than the 8%.
Overall, well, I’m getting in my Vermont ticks in, right? If anything, I really didn’t much difference in this than the last one other than a bigger booziness.

The appearance was a semi-pale yellow color with some carbonation seen rising at a fair pace. Film of white foamy/bubbly head dies off extremely quick. No lace but expected.
The aroma had some sweet grainy/cereal booziness flowing over some citrus/orange zestiness. Floral hops? Ok, well, I didn’t mind, kinda different for a malt liquor.
The flavor was pretty much the same as the aroma, sweet booziness with that kick of the citrus/orange zest seemingly leading to balance. Aftertaste is pretty boozy and kicking around the same flavors in the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a sipping kind of quality about it. ABV seems what the brewer projected.
Overall, I don’t think I’m rating this to style, but rating it more towards observations. I think I kind of liked this, oddly enough.

The appearance was a semi-murky brown with a film of a small white foamy head. Subtle lace.
The aroma had some boozy Belgian sugary sweetness, light bananas, and some breadiness. Then some cereal/herbal malts, nuts (somewhat like pecans), ends with some dark fruits.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet side with a mostly boozy aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body. Sessionable? Well, it’s a bit all over to be honest as the booziness seems to not coincide with it’s feel along my tongue. ABV definitely feels as projected, damn, oh boy.
Overall, not really sure about this one. I can see a bunch of other English Strong ales that are way better.

The appearance was a mostly dark brown close to black color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a fair pace. Light lace.
The aroma had some semi-sweet milk and dark chocolate nibs. Light biscuits, subtle cereal tones and then some vanilla. Some roastiness.
The flavor leans sweet with a touch of earthiness ever so slightly underneath. Slightly melds all together to slide into the aftertaste, which seems barely there. Quick finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a good sipping quality about it. Moderate boozy heat to this one, somewhat felt. ABV did feel as projected by the brewer.
Overall, pretty good imperial porter, wouldn’t mind a little more roast in the flavor but other than that, I would come back to this.

The appearance was a mild pale bronzed almost amber color with a film of a white little head. Sly lace.
The aroma started with a creamy sweet earthy stale maltiness up front. Light bubblegum and then a light tea sweetness comes about (guessing that’s the Chai). Some floral hops at the end.
The flavor yields to the charge of the sweet creamy-like lactose involvement. Earthiness propels some spice rubbing against the bubblegum, interesting. Super weird aftertaste, I didn’t mind, but I’m thinking a ton of people are going to hate this aftertaste, I think. Malty to tea-like finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt as appropriate.
Overall, leave it to Pro Pig to take an English styled mild ale and \"weird it out\" for the rest of us to say, what in the what were they thinking. A rare oddity, but somehow, I didn’t mind this.

Correct review this time:

The appearance was a semi-soft yellow-ish almost bronze color with a thin white foamy head. Slight messy lace.
The aroma had some sweet corn, some cereal and then some grassy sweet to semi-bitter hops.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet side with a mild aftertaste of dried biscuits and corn. Brisk sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a slick crisp contour over my tongue. Some carbonation was felt. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, not bad as a pale lager. I could come back to if someone put it in my hand.

Reviewed from notes. On tap at the brewpub. The appearance was a semi-burnt amber color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a mild pace. Sliding semi-foamy lace. The aroma had some semi-sweet toffee/caramel malts, super light nuttiness, lightly hopped - somewhat grassy. The flavor brings all of the previously mentioned aromas together-somewhat sweet yet lightly touched by some bitterness of the grassy hops. Light smooth biscuit notes coming out. Smooth semi-sweet malty aftertaste flowing into the finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Good ABV - felt fine on my tongue, as appropriate as it can be. Overall, not a bad Vienna lager, probably could do again, preferably with some soft pretzels and a football game.

Half glass sample at the brewpub.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt orange to amber color with a thin finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Messy stringy lace.
The aroma had some juicy pulpy citrusy sweet rindy bitterness. Light strawberry and peach make up a nice arrangement underneath.
The flavor leans to the sweet side of a blend of those previously mentioned fruity aromas. Lingering malty fruity notes in the aftertaste and in on the background.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine and fairly low.
Overall, really nicely done APA that I would definitely have again.
