Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours very hazy ruddy with a huge pinkish head. Aroma is sourish berry. Med minus body. Flavor is mildly (very) sour redberry. Obviously I am not all that good with hibiscus. Light, fruity, and pretty tasty.

Tap at Preserve Public House in Winters, CA. Pours quite black with a slight beige head. Slightly plummy aroma. With chocolate and coffee? Med + body. Flavor is chocolate, mildly greasy/nutty and I still think a touch of coffee. It’s good.

Tap at Preserve Public House in Winters, CA. Pours ruddy dark amber with a beige head. Rather pine aroma. Med body or better. Flavor is roasty and piney (strange how citrus and pine seem interchangeable sometimes). No heat as such, but the alcohol hits the nose in a noticeable fashion while drinking. Really good.

Hops evident in the aroma at first pour, and then come on full strength at first taste. Hazy amber body with small silky head. Hoppy astringent aroma, taste of pine sol,caramel, slick mouth feel.

Draught at Garage 39. Big oyster-umami-soy sauce in the nose, along with chocolate, coffee, and burnt wood. Sweet and roasty, lots of umami again. Strong, prickly alcohol and hop finish. Good.

Tap at Dig. Nose or roasty chocolate, umami, wine ro port, and lots of phenols-berries and rubber. Flavor is super phenoloc, tons of black berry and burnt rubber, with chocolate and lots of umami. Nice silky body. This could be good but the phenolic character makes it almost impossible to drink.

Dark brown color. Very sweet, huge hazelnut, chocolate pie jump from the nose, with dark fruit and dark cherries playing in the background. Very intense. The mouth is sweet but eventually you realize it has nice bitterness to balance things out. Decent roastiness is impressive along with hazelnuts, chocolate, frangelico. Very intense beer that hits your five ways to Friday, but I loved it, though one pint is probably enough.

Full bodied, chalky, chocolatey & sweet dark cocoa. Smooth, umami, dark chocolate, licorice, bitter roasty notes. A top quality beer.

(Bottle) Hazy coppery amber with good dense off-white head. Lovely aroma - floral hops over toast with hints of pine and honey. Medium body with excellent carbonation - velvety and bright. Good session beer taste - not heavy or rich, but with rye giving unusual bread notes to the malt, and some nice crisp bitterness in the finish. A very quaffable American Pale Ale.
