Regarding style, it looks like there's no consistency on whether smoked porters are entered as porters or as smoked for style. I went with porter as it seems to be the dominant characteristic of this beer. Pours near black with a small tan head. The aroma is of roasty smoked malt. The flavor is roast malt, smoke, and coffee. It's medium bodied with balanced hops bitterness and a lingering roasty finish.

Pours clear copper with a lingering off-white head. Laces nicely. The aroma is of citrus and resinous hops. The flavor is bitter as expected though maybe not as crisp as I'd like, and it starts tasting off somehow in the finish.

Very hazy yellow-gold pour. The aroma is of oranges and grainy malt. The taste is fairly sweet with oranges and mild hops bitterness. Carrots? I think I get some but it's kind of hard to tell. It's a decent beer.

The version I had recently was listed at 4.5% abv. It may well be a different beer than what they released three years ago, but it has the same name. I'll rate it here for now. Hazy gold pour with a small white head. It has a pleasant, natural peach aroma. The flavor is sweet and very peachy. It's not cloying though. There's some slight hops in the finish of this refreshing brew. It certainly is what the name indicates.

tap - Near black pour with a small tan head and a seriously chocolatey aroma along with vanilla. The flavor is very sweet with lots of chocolate and vanilla. Rich. This is dessert. It's really good, especially if you want a sundae with a kick.

tap at the brewpub - This version was 12% abv. Black pour with a small tan head. The roast chocolate malt aroma was actual more mild than I expected. Flavor is sweet and malty with lots of roast coffee, some chocolate, and some alcohol. Full bodied. Quite good.

tap - There's no clever name on this one. They just went with IPA and that's what you get, a straightforward American IPA. It has a clear copper pour with an off-white head. The aroma is of resinous hops with a little citrus. The flavor has lots of crisp, bitter hops with resin and citrus character and a good malt backbone. Medium bodied. It's a solid IPA.

tap at the brewpub - Not to be confused with their prior release, a Strawberry Rhubarb wild ale. This one's definitely a wit. Pours hazy pinkish gold with a yeasty, strawberry rich aroma. The flavor is similar and sweet with some yeast spice. It's tasty enough if not outstanding. Light bodied.

tap at the brewpub - Hazy gold pour, citrusy, hoppy aroma. Flavor has fairly strong bitterness with citrus and some off flavor I can't quite place. Medium bodied. Overall it's okay but not as clean as it could be.
