Draft. A- Toasted coconut, dark fudge, vanilla. A- Black color, black liquid, minimal head. T- Toasted coconut, chocolate, vanilla. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- This was killer. I wish Kros Strain would do more stouts, because these are White Elm level. Barrel aging isn't an overkill and while it is fairly sweet, there are loads of rich dark chocolate with tons of toasted coconut. Very good.

Draft. A- Watermelon, subtle manure. A- Gold color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Watermelon, kiwi. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, tart finish. O- Watermelon juice all over. This was the best most natural watermelon beer I've had. The kiwi more so just added a nice tartness to it. Really enjoyed this one a lot.

Batch 6. 16 oz. can. Most families are not perfect. I had some BS go on today in mine so I thought a beer called βWeb of Liesβ would be a perfect way to finish my afternoon. Aroma has soft pineapple, grapefruit, maybe a peach hint. Flavor is a mirror. Softer mouthfeel and zero bitterness. As it should be.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear copper/amber with a large creamy/foamy white head. Malty aroma with a hint of hop. Med body or better. At the end of a quaff it was clear that whatever hop is in use is pretty much what was used in the original Olympia beer back in the '60s. Light caramel malt with hop that seems grassy. Flavors are firm. Bitter is moderate. Dry is not quite. Good drink. Surprised!

Can pour from share with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Appearance is opaque yellow-orange (orange juice) with no discernible sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with good retention and light soapy lacing. Aroma is strong orange citrus, vanilla and cream. Taste is strong creamsicle/Orange Julius with orange, vanilla, and cream, and then just a hint of herb. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thin, frothy texture, soft carbonation, and finish as taste. Overall, they nailed a creamsicle experience BOTH without being too sweet AND without using lactose! Props. Really well done. A tad thin in the mouthfeel for the style--nitpicking.
