Tap at Sugar Maple. Opaque brown-black body, thin oily head. Massive coffee aroma. Big, serious coffee flavor. Perhaps one of the most coffee forward beers I’ve had. A pretty phenomenal Coffee Stout, the coffee dominates to the point where it is hard to gauge the ABV. Clean chocolate backdrop really lets the coffee shine. Top notch. The brown sugar and coffee meld perfectly. Thick coffee grounds. Exotic, bold, fantastic.

Tap at Pig Minds. Burgundy-brown, unfiltered. Thin, steady off-white head. Rich and malty, leans into the amber malt. I don’t get any lager tones. American version all the way, not too authentic. Chewy and full bodied, not a beer you’d want a stein of. Comes off more English than German.

Tap at PM. Hazy tan-orange. Kind of bland,straightforward. Boring Golden malt, sort of a sterilized Steam beer. Not one I’ll revisit. Drinkable, middle of the road.

Draft at pigminds during oktoberfest. Pours a mostly clear amber with a half finger of off ehite head. Aroma of citrus and resinous hops. Taste is lightly bitter. Herbal and citrusy. Medium bodied with a thicker yhan expected texture. Lively carbonation and a very long finish. Overall, very good. A great everyday drinker.

Draft at pigminds oktoberfest party. Pours a cloudy dark auburn with minimal head. Aroma of caramel, banana, clove and belgian yeast. Taste is sweet and cery lightly bitter. Candied belgian sugar, cloce and banana with a little bitter hops. Medium bodied with a slick texture. Lively carbonation and a very long finish. Belgians are not my favorite style, but im digging this one.

Draft at pigminds. Pours black with a half finger of dark brown head. Aroma is totally dominated by strong black coffee. Taste is light bitter. Coffee dominance with a slightly sweet hint of brown sugar. Full bodied with a thinner than expected texture. Soft carbonation and a finish that will probably stay with me for the rest of the night. Overall, awesome. This one would be great to try barrel aged.

Draft at pig minds. Pours a cloudy brown with a ruby hue and a half finger of dark tan head. Aroma of earthy and herbal hops with a slight hint of caramel. Taste is light bitter. Earthy and herbal with a hint of roasty malt. Something slightly fruity in the aftertaste too. Medium bodied with a surprising creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a super long finish. Overall, very good.

Draft. Pours a cloudy dark orange with a half finger of white head. Aroma is mostly caramel malt. Taste is light sweet. Caramel with a slight hint of fruitiness. Medium bodied with a slightly thick texture. Lively carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, very good. Marzen is absolutely my least favorite style, but i do quite enjoy this one.

Draft. From notes. Citrus and tropical fruits, but very mellow. Not my favorite from these guys, but still very drinkable and enjoyable.

Draft at the source. Pours a clear light amber with a golden orange hue. Aroma of resinous hops with grapefruit and a little hint of tropical citrus. Tazte is quite bitter. Grapefruit and a little pine but a very decent maly backbone. Medium bodied with a surprisingly thick texture. Soft carbonation and a super long finish. The abv is totally hidden. Overall, awesome. I pick this first everytime im here
