Draft pour pint at Route 2, Monroe. Presented on nitro. Dark, dense black pour. Thick cream foam head that lasts until it's the only thing left. Checks all the boxes for the style. Toasty flavor, dry throughout but flavorful. Smooth cream body. Subtle cocoa, espresso nose. Really good brew.

16.9 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy amber with a medium beige head. Aroma is pure brett on the nose, with bready toffee, and mostly just funk. Flavour is likewise pure brett, with tons of funky brett, caramel malt that’s been dried out, and a touch of breadiness. Massive brett bomb that works well with the caramel malt. Good stuff.

Darkish amber Thin head. A fair bit of brett on the nose. On the palate, this has some bretty notes, and a touch of malt sweetness. It comes together decently. Not actually as complex as it probably should be.

500mL bottle. Pours murky amber-brown with a white head. Lots of brett on the nose, some malts. Flavour has brett, some bready malt. Not what I was expecting from a stock ale, but it seems well done.

16 oz. can, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Nose has somewhat sweaty hops, some earthiness, and bready malt. Flavour is somewhat dull in the hop department, with soft bready malt dominating. Easy-drinking but ultimately not that interesting.

473mL can. Pours clear gold with a white head. Sweet malts and candied orange peel. Flavour has bitter resinous pine, candied orange peel, biscuit malts. The hops are not coming through very well, quite tired.

On tap at Loyal Legion, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma has tons of peppermint, with a thin toasted malt base. Flavour is much the same, with peppermint dominating, and a thin toasted malt base. Pleasant enough but not much body.
