Thanks to the cheeseman!
Well looks like this is another 5. Pours jet black witha mocha head. The aroma is intoxicating, there is do much going on. First thing that hits you is deep roasted almost burnt malt, piney hops, thick chocolate wrapped in oaky vanilla goodness......... I can’t get my nose out of the glass! The flavor is sublime. Lots of hops kick in and the oak is prevalent up front witha great oaky vanilla. The alcohol is there snd it warms nicely as it goes down. The mouthfeel is surprisingly
Smooth considering the oak ageing and the alcohol. Overall to me this is a perfect beer plain and simple!

Clear brown pour, small white head. The aroma is bold and in your face. Huge raw espresso, smoke, and tobacco with some roasted nuts for good measure. Light mouthfeel, solid carb. The finish is surprisingly light, with a light bitterness. Touches of espresso with cream, and even a bit of vanilla in the finish. Nice stuff!

Thisis the darkest most viscous beer i have ever seen. Aromais very roasty, and the hops are definitly noticeable, with a LOAD of cedar. The cedar really comes through. LOts of chocoalte, and roastiness, with an odd grainy pepper flavor. Its an interesting beer,but not one of my favorites.

Huge aroma of fresh cedar and juniper. Like grabbing a handfull of fresh spring growth from a cedar shrub. As i dive in i notice lots of citrus hops, and some light honey. The flavor is a big dose of cedar and grapefruit. A very bitter pithy grapefruit. Intense bitter finish, great stuff.

rich roasty malt aromas with lots of caramel, some smoke,and a touch of chocolate. The flavor is very very malty. there is a nice sweet breadiness, with touches of tobacco, and cocoa. A nice scotch ale.

Very spicy nose. Herbal tea, powdered tea, lavender, rose hips.
Carb is a little high, but no biggie. Very dry bitter finish with a rose water finish mixed with some light tea and grassy hops. Very complex.

Beer pours out quite thick and a very dark brown with a thick fluffy mocha head with aesome lacing. Aroma is juicy piney hops, sweet malty caramel, and sweet rye bread. Flavor is hoppy but the rye also makes an appearance. Lots of nice caramel bready sweet malts. Wow I love this.

Hazy golden pour, huge white head. Aroma of tropical fruit, yeasty esters, and some sour funk. The funk is there, and there is a nice peperiness you would find in a saison too. Flavor is quite dry, and fruity with some more sourness. The carbonation is a little over the top, and it does take away from my enjoyment, but other than that, this is a great saison. A nice beer but I just fine if lacks that saison crisp, refreshing lightness, it seemed a little too dense and heavy.

Very very dark brown pour with s thick mocha head. Sweet bready malts in the aroma, with some hazel nut and subtle hops. Flavor is quite malt forward and pretty one dimensional. I’m not as impressed with this beer as I was sbout some of this breweries other offerings,
