On tap at the brewery. Deep brown pour with a white head. Roasty aroma. Flavor is roasty cocoa and coffee, with a medium light palate. Finishes early on with some yeast. A solid porter.

Accidental re-rate, just listed as BBA Gerald's Talking Dog this time. On tap at the Stormcloud Brewpub, tried right after the non-BBA version. 2020 vintage aged in Iron Fish bourbon barrels served in 2022. Pours brown with an off-white head, notably darker than the original. Creamy bourbony oak aroma. Flavor of bourbony oak, red grape, earthy, with a red cherry brightness. Not bad at all.
On tap at Stormcloud. Pours a deeper brown with an off-white head. Bourbon brown sugar aroma, fruity. Bourbon, cherry, and molasses flavors, red apple, caramel. On the lighter side of bourbon-aged beers. Quite nice. 7/4/8/4/15/3.8

On tap at Stormcloud. Pours a clear gold with a white head. Floral and perfumy aroma. Flavor is again floral, perfumy, yeasty, white grape, candy, and pale malt. It seems well-made, but the perfumy floral flavors don’t totally appeal to me in this beer.

On tap at Stormcloud. Pours an orange golden, clear, with a white head. Yeasty aroma with pale malts and some fruitiness. Flavor is yeasty pear with kind of a general cherry tone that doesn’t take over the beer. A good mesh of flavors.

On tap at Stormcloud. Pours a clear gold with a white head. Yeasty bubble gum, pear, and apple aromas. Flavor is yeasty bubble gum, pear and apple, some candy sweetness that’s well balanced. Definitely strong, and also tasty. The estery fruit, candy, and alcohol mix very well.

On tap at Stormcloud. Pours black with a light tan head. Roasty cocoa and dark malt aroma. Flavors of roasty, smoky coffee and cocoa, pepper notes. As I continue to drink it, I get only the slightest hint of heat from the peppers. Anise.

On tap at Stormcloud. Pours deep brown with a light tan head. Aroma is anise-led with roasty coffee. Flavor is again strong on anise with tangerine zest serving to emphasize it, later incorporating roasty coffee and cocoa. I do recognize how the tangerine zest works with the anise, and while it doesn’t appeal to me in particular, it’s still a solid beer.
