On tap at Prohibition Pig Brewery, Waterbury. It pours a hazy, orange colored body under a creamy, finger-thick off-white head. The aroma has a light malty touch, some wort, citrus and resins. It has a light sweetness in the mouth, as well as a supporting light bitterness, with some citrusy hops to fill in the blanks. It’s smooth and nicely carbonated, full-bodied, with a lasting finish. Not a bad one, but I sure prefer my IPA’s hoppier and drier. 150610

Tap. Prohibition Pig, Waterbury, VT. Clear gold. Thick, lasting, white head. Juicy, fruity citrus. Some peach. Notes of pine. Nicely fusty and skunky. Mouthwatering, really. Taste is chewy, lightly resinous bitter. Stays clean and drinkable. Finishes zesty, robust bitter. Very clean DIPA.

This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a hazy burnt yellow almost orange color with a slim little white head that quickly dissipated. Barely any lacing.
The smell had a huge amount of citrus pulp riding into some mainly sweet grapefruit rind and pulp, bitter bursting fully and eloquently.
The taste too those flavors and added a nice bitter edge even further. There’s a slight bitter citrusy rind in the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation runs just right. Bitterness is invasive enough on my tongue bu wheat helps to tame it a bit.
Overall, Prohibition Pig did what they wanted to and I would have this again.

This was poured into a half pint glass at the brewpub.
The appearance was a dark brown color close to black with a bar pour’s kind of slim head and no lacing.
The aroma started off with some sweet cocoa running into some roasty coffee bean.
The taste was basically the same with the oatmeal adding a nice depth of a heavier graininess but not too heavy. There’s a light semi-sweet to roasty aftertaste running into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs light allowing the oatmeal to take the place and being somewhat grainy but not overbearing - hitting just right on my mouth.
Overall, this was a really nice sweet stout with the oatmeal playing a good part not to detract to lead to an oatmeal styled stout but remaining on the sweet side.

On tap at the brewpub.
This was poured into one of their half pint glasses.
The appearance was a ruddy brown color with a bar pour’s kind of slim head that dissipated left no lacing.
The smell started off with some smoky sweet-like meatiness opening up into a delicate underscore of pumpkin.
The taste was mainly sweet again through the meatiness and pumpkin adding a touch of toasty/breadiness (like an English mild ale should). Rolling sweet touch of herbal to slightly sweet bready aftertaste slyly moving into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a nice sessionability to it. Carbonation runs really low as it should (almost like its on cask). The smoothness of this ale is mighty fine.
Overall, wow, super nice take on a style that no one wants to bother with these days. Props to Pro Pig for adding their take, nicely done guys!

This was poured into one their half pints.
The appearance was a moderately hazy yellow color with a decent transparency about it. Carbonation could be seen rising at a moderate pace. A bar pour’s head yields barely any lacing.
The smell started off with sweet breadiness yielding some light sweet herbal qualities and a little bit of toast.
The taste copied the smell pretty much on spot. There was a slight sweet bready aftertaste running into a semi-sticky sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a good sessionability about it. Carbonation ran really light.
Overall, I don’t have much experience with kellerbiers, but I liked this one for me. I’d have again and would believe it would go well with its respected food.
