Draught at Columbia City Ale House, Seattle; 10oz; 8% ABV
Dark amber color with creamy head. Amber Ale, not even as bold as the abv would suggest, a lot of caramel, moderately sweet, and with butter in aroma and flavor.
Didn’t like this one so much.

Draft at brewery. Black beer worth a tan head. This may very well be the last Spinaker Bay beer I ever drink. When I moved to Seattle this was the closets brewery to my house. However, soon a closer very opened up and this place still required a drive. Plus, they don’t allow dogs and the beer was never that exciting. Alas, I’m moving soon and this may be my lady hurrah. This beer, well it’s not bad. Though nothing about it makes me want to drink it again. Sort of describes the brewery.

Draft at brewery. Black beer with ghost white head. The defining character here is a bitter black malt finish. Not sweet, a mineral quality cutting through the beer offsetting some of the black malts. A little toffee mixed up in there. Decent enough porter.

Draft at brewery. Muddy brown color, clear but dirty looking. I don’t believe it’s 9.7, can’t taste the etoh. Tasty though just like a Scotch ale should be, earthy, not sweet, low hops. Right up my flavor preference. Maybe a little sweet and a little cherry like astringency coming off the alcohol. A bit leafy aftertaste.

Draft pour at Spinnaker Bay. Dark reddish brown pour with a ton of cream foam head. Dark fruit swayed woody aroma. Cherry like. Flavor is a nice blend of cranberry and oak like character. Nice, smooth scotch finish, without near the double digit abv burn I expected. Excellent scotch ale here.

Draft pour to a tulip at Spinnaker Bay. Pours an ugly muddy bronze color with no head. Malt centered aroma with good hop presence. Flavor is dusty malt, caramel, maple, and a softer hop addition. Good scotch here.

Tulip at brewery. I agree with Andrew in many ways and I love the strawberry character. It’s not a saison and it looks great from he color. But it’s not overly estry, it’s not sweet, it’s one dimensional I like it.

Draft pour to a tulip at Spinnaker Bay. Pale golden pour with a thin fizz head. Straw like aroma with some wet hops. Flavor is a low bitter hop headliner. Somewhat of a dry finish. Grassy. Not the most interesting IPA, but could have much worse flaws.

Draft at brewery. Hell of a head. Dark ruby color. This is definitely barrel aged a d strong, not over the top. Tastes like scotch ale lightly alcohol candy. I really like it.

Draft pour to a tulip at Spinnaker Bay. Beautiful day out to drink a pink beer. I’ve always been a fan. I guess a somewhat floral aroa, but yeast dominanted. Has a bit of a strawberry character to it. Floral for sure. Mixed berry linger. Fun beer.
