Can (2/19/26) from Friar Tuck, Crestwood. Dark, iced tea brown, nice sparkle, ring of head, light lacing. Aroma is sweet malt/caramel, light fruit, mostly sweet but vaguely tart. Taste resembles aroma. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation, dry, mostly bready finish but still that tart aspect. The tart aspect confuses me. This doesn't strike me as occurring due to age but could that explain that as opposed to just brewing flaw.

12 oz. can shared by tfontana, ty. Flavor of earthy grain, molasses, and a odd sour hint in the finish. Perhaps it fairs better fresher as this was canned 2/19/2026. Hard to know.

Pour is a mice clear mahogany with a small white head. Aroma is some mocha with some cherry wood. Flavor is more of the mocha with some cherry and toasted malt. I don't know how spot on for the style this is but it is a flavorful malty beer.

Pour is more of a honey color with a large white head. Aroma is an ok bready neutral malt. Flavor is not much. Some grain with a bit of honey malt at the end. Crushable but only because this does not taste like much.

Can (5/15/24) pour. Lightly hazy, honey brown with light sparkle, thin head with fair retention and no lacing. Aroma is sweet malt, honey and herb reminiscent of Christmas spice. Taste follows aroma with stronger spice. Smooth texture, flat carbonation and finish as taste. Age has likely killed the hops and doesn’t taste like Basil. Hard to know how reflective this is.

Pour is a black with a quickly fading tan head. Aroma has a nice mix of roast and char malt. Flavor is a dry burnt malt and some bitter bakers chocolate at the end. This was spot on for the style.
