22oz bomber shared by DrSilverworm, thanks! Filtered amber brown. Ammber vanilla honey oak tones. Easy going medium body. The honey takes center stage, but it very balanced, and has some respectable depth. Smooth honey malt. Nice.

Tap at Jerry’s in Wicker Park. The beer is super straw pale, clear as a macro beer. Has a thick foamy head with a lacing that coats the side of the glass as it fades. Aroma is cleaned up sharp, but light, pear esters. Everything else is dulled down, or not there. Just a bit of Belgian sweetness. Flavor is same with a bit of a dry, sandpaper feel to the green, unripe pear esters. A mineral tingle all around with a slightly bittered wort finish. Basically a vehicle for light pear esters. I was hoping for something more.

A deep dark stout with a thick creamy brown head. In aroma, a nice sweet sweet milk chocolate with creamy notes, nice. In mouth, a rather run of the mill stout with light powdery character, grassy hops, so-so. On tap at Mugs Alehouse.
