Bottle thanks to Toby. Pours a pitch black color with a medium brown head. A big chocolate and spicy nose. Sharp spicy flavors, dry, anise, chocolate. Very dry cocoa. The beer isn’t bad, it’s just really sharp, bitter dark chocolate and head. But OK. Just a bit raw.

On Tap at the Haus. Clear golden. No head and just a single row of bubbles trying to make it all the way around the glass. Server even tried to coax a little bit out., but no. The ABV is definitely there but I am pickng up a little buteriness and slick palate at the end. Pretty bitter I think as well. Just OK

On Tap at the Garden City brewery. Clear deep golden. Mild and a little vegetative. Smooth soft malt body. Fairly heavy slick palate esp for a modest ABV blonde.

On Tap at the Garden City Brewery pours a clear deep copper with a scant wispy head. Biting bitter fumey aroma. Mostly resinous pine. Similar flavors. Clean and well attenuated. Not so much freshly juicy hoppiness but plenty of clean IBU bite. Glad to see PH stepping up its game

Bottle. My first brew from the new brewery on Chinden… just a 10 minute trip from my house and I still haven’t found time to visit yet. Pours a dark amber/chestnut brown color, great clarity, and a thin beige cap. The aroma of the beer is toasty, toffee, chocolate, and fruity sweet. Most of the same players in the taste, its more sweet than anything, very slight bitters. It does well while it’s cold, about halfway through the glass rubbing alcohol starts to come through. I wanted to like this more, and I did at first, but it ends up being lackluster.

Bottle from Albertsons. Trying to give this new brewery some props, as they’ve been a letdown to date. Decent looking pour, and then it just becomes a malt bomb. Minor hop bitterness at the end. Just plain average.

On Tap at the brewery. Black with only a trace of hean/lacing. Dry roasty and while the high ABV brought it up a notch, it just seemed thin and simple. Nothing off, just plain.
