Earthy and roasted malt stout. A fairly simple stout but it is tasty enough. Something you could have a pint of and not think about too much.

A very pretty amber. Toasted, breads malt. Malt oriented. Not a lot going on but it is a good pub style ale.

Nice C hops on candied fruit in this orange hued brew. A straight forward, citrus IPA. Medium body. Lingering bitterness.

I’m not a fruited IPA fan generally. This isn’t changing my mind, however it is one of the more well done ones I’ve had. Very grapefruit juice forward, more than just GF hop profile. Lingering bitterness.

Medium brown. Luscious sweet caramel, light wood, some booze heat, vanilla, some toasted malt, too. Smooth and medium body. Finish has nice toasted caramel and vanilla with light oak. Juicy. Good.

Draft pour pint at The Collective, Woodinville, as part of their brewers night. Clear golden copper pour with a patchy head. Malt forward aroma. Soft citrus hop flavor. Almost a green tea like flavor going on. Interesting hop bill. Refreshing, cool finish. Pretty good IPA.

Draft pour to a schooner at The Collective, Woodinville. As part of the Bainbridge Island brewers night. Dark brown pour with almost no head. Slightly doughy, bourbon, and roasted malt aroma. Flavor is a huge chocolate syrup like flavor. Smooth, soft bourbon afterthought. Love the cocoa nib finish here. Love the chocolate flavor overall. Love the amount of barrel impression. Good warming imperial stout here. Loved it.

Bottle - Dark roast and some nitty notes with some barrel. Deep dark brown with a quick dissipating head. Dark roast and some woody barrel notes. Not bad, but a little mild.
