This is a black ale, with manuka honey and Belgian yeast. It was OK, kinda reminded me of 1516 from New Belgium. Nice roasty character, but fairly estery and the manuka pops through. One of the better offerings from these guys.

some chocolatey character and restrained. Boring as hell and so similar to many brewpub porters around the world. Whatever

chestnut color. Malty, earthy mouth with a hint of whisky. Austere. Very malty, a touch dry, full bodied malty mouth. Rounded and fairly well put together, though a bit restrained on flavor. Fairly decent.
