Bottle. Coffee, chocolate malt, and dry hay aroma. Black with moderate tan head. Mildly sweet coffee, chocolate toffee malt, and moderately bitter dry hay and ash flavor. Good body. A great porter.

Bottle. Pine, grapefruit peel, lemon, and biscuit malt aroma. Slightly hazy golden yellow with large light tan head. Mildly sweet citrus, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter pine/grapefruit peel flavor. Body a bit light. Okay, but not great.

Sways wildly between indulgently sweet and strikingly bitter, offering up huge buttered caramel and toffee notes before drying out considerably for the floral, lingering finish. Gains a nutty depth on the back end, while the fade offsets the clingy hops with hints of toast and honey. Pours a dark, dark brown-orange, but gives up a slight head with very little lace. Sweet nose smells like autumn in a pint. Perky texture verges on overcarbonated, but not quite. Overall a bit too heavy-handed for my tastes.

Boozy as hell, with a deep vein of bourbon accentuating the dry bitterness of Peoples. Dark, bitter roastiness meets vanilla, chocolate, dark fruits, and loads of liquor. Still prefer the original, but BBA makes for a nice variation.

High hopes for this low abv cream ale. After all, I like Genny cream! Hey, you know, I liked Carolina Beer Co. Blonde (retired), and it wasn’t bad and I heard a rumor this is the new carolina blonde, almost same recipe! From a bottle I assume its clear pale yellow. Smell is a little sour. Taste is initially a little tart, I think. Good bubbly sensations. Enjoyable, un-offensive with just a tail of that ale attitude. Yes, could drink a couple of these mild ales, not bad.

Tap at Sedona. Pours black, looks thick, brown head. Absolutely wonderful aroma of smoked peat, chocolate, coffee. Flavor is on par with the nose. Damn. Smoked peat, chocolate, sweet caramel, light fruity notes. The peat lingers throughout which is nice, and there’s little bitterness. This is one of the best beers I’ve had in awhile, and I just tried two others that were outstanding. Damn.

Either a very early or very old bottle, code is 0831163115, who can tell me? 2016? A little darker than a pale ale. Smell is somewhat veggie, no real hint of pumpkin. Wasn’t expecting much in the taste but I am pleasantly surprised. Very good co2 cutting thru and there is this hint of mild tartness in there. Not overly done on the pumpkin spices and I appreciate that. Yes, in the middle of the session I think I get some hints of soda pop, just a hint. Not really like pumpkin pie but perhaps something a little better. Must be the real pumpkin in this that pulls it on thru. Just a subtle hint of pumpkin spices, well balanced and never in yer face. Probably one of the better pumpkin beers I’ve had. Yes, much better than expected, good job foothills; and if this is last year’s, perhaps every bottle should be aged a year but I think this may just be a real early 2017, no?

Bottle from Harris Teeter, Hampstead, North Carolina. Deep amber pale ale style beer with a small head. Has a fair strength with good tropical fruits behind this.

OK, so anything from a bottle called frostbite should be white? Well, no, this is big and black but large and in charge. Smells like IPA fer sure, tastes like IPA fer sher and it feels like IPA; ferrrr sherrrrerr. If my eyes were shut I would think this is just another potent IPA. But they’re not and I see a big black beer that is insulting my cheap pale lager taste buds wwheww louie louie louie louwoahwwww. Terribly on style and I may say it treads into imperial IPA territory. If you like IPA, try this and do not care about my numbers, whew. Big ass volatile brew. Seems like much more than 7%. Some hidden carbonation cutting thru in the end.
