Crowley from AFH. orange coloring, 1 finger head. Smells great, floral with some citrus aroma. taste is pretty good. it’s a thin body, drinks like a beer that’s way lower in alcohol. a little citrus and wheat. drinks really easy.

32oz crowler in trade from puboflyons, thanks. Lt brown-black. A-juicy pine/citrus, dk malt. T-pine hops, roasty/ashy dk malt.

Sampled at the source. Pale yellow color, very small head. Aromas has very mild esters and phenol’s, hay and a straw like malt profile. Mild fruity yeast.

Flavors are nicely phenolic yeast up front, again notes of straw and grain. Straw and grainy malt structure. Lively bubbles and lightly dry texture. Slight pepper in the back of the sip. Body is on the lighter side of medium.

Sample at the source. Deep brown color, thin head. Lace shows in the sample glass. Aroma is deep grain, mild roast, pine.

Good amount of roasted grain body with pine in the finish. Comes off just a bit astringent but still right along the style guidelines.

Crowler from Bert’s Slightly hazy deep golden color with a bubbly white head that persists. Spicy earthy herbal hoppy nose with bits of citrus pepper and light sweet bread at the edges. The flavor is sweet bready malt with some big peppery spicy phenols. Not as hoppy as the nose suggested although there is a lingering light astringency in the finish. Not a bad little sipper.

32 oz. Crowler purchased at Prost! Specialty Beer and Wine. Pours a very deep amber / almost brown color with plenty of carbonation. Aroma is caramel, earthy malts and some pine hops.

A good caramel, toffee, and sweet bread backbone. The bitterness is mild (leans to medium) and the beer tends toward the hoppier side of ambers/ hoppy browns. The body is medium with carbonation right as it should be. Overall I think it hits the mark on the intention of the style.

Crowler, ~2 weeks old, shared by AFH on 11/28/15.
Dark black pour, probably opaque, with a small tan head that slowly fades to cover.
Chocolatey roast and light fudge in the nose with buttercream, light raisins and salty toffee. Little/no hop character, with a yeast and vanilla softness on the end. Light diacetyl, but it’s not so problematic and melds with the toffee to give a buttercream character that you often find in dark beers that don’t have any diacetyl.
Bitter roast, dry coffee and lightly sweet fudgey malts are very nicely extracted in the flavor. For 5.4%, this has a soft, supple yet chewy texture and very big flavors, yet is nicely attenuated. Vanilla, toffee, very faint ash and again some diacetyl on the end. Really dosen’t take away much from the beer; this is by no means a butter bomb. Only thing that concerns me is that this is the second Garrison beer I’ve had that’s had apparent flaws, the last one being an IPA I had on draught at WHYM with massive petrol/gasoline character. Still, they can obviously brew and develop very nice, richly flavored, well-textured beers (and Brett Raspbeerience was flawless).

Crowler from the brewery, I don’t know about 2 weeks old? In fridge the entire time. Pitch black very thin lasting head. Aroma shows old coffee beans, mild roast maybe a earthy grain.

Flavor is chocolate, light espresso beans, ale yeast. Mild butter, slightly off, diacetyl. Maybe just a tad off.
