Texture: medium bodied, sessionable, good smoothness with a delicate dryness along the tongue
Overall: nicely done American stout very worthy of returning to.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: light yellow color with some transparency and a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissolved fairly nice to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy hops and subtle lemony hops; light bready malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes crisp with the lemony toned hops
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, nice smoothness along the tongue
Overall: nice easy going pilsener, I believe might lean towards a Czech pils slightly but hmmmm...also might just be one of "modernized" pilseners. I'd still bang again.

On tap at Vermont Tap House, Williston, VT on 07/20/2019.
Appearance: chalky pale yellow haziness with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which trailed off fairly quick but didn't leave any lace.
Aroma: white pear, mango, floral and a lighter danky/sweet onion hop character with a nice clean malt backbone
Flavor: combines those aromas to a fine bittersweet to sweet juicy quality; finishes mostly with the pears, mangoes and floral tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, very smooth along the tongue with a little bit of dryness
Overall: when dry hopping works wonders on a beer! Daggum right, I'd return to this!

Can to tulip.
Appearance: red in color with a two finger white foamy head which trailed off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: starts floral and piney then quickly dives into the tequila barrel notes of vanilla and sweet woody tones
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas from a semi-sweet hoppy vibe to a light bittersweet vanilla to oaky quality; finishes like vanilla and pine and floral mixed together
Texture: medium bodied, leaning into being a sipper; some smoothness but also some barrel spice nicking the tongue
Overall: interesting idea to age an IPA in tequila barrels. Maybe I could come back to this.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black with a rapidly dissolving foamy head, no fizz, just seemed to not want to stick around and also didn't leave any lace
Aroma: big roasted malts, strong coffee notes, dark chocolate bitterness, then at the end a subtle crisp little tart and semi-sweet touch of cranberries
Flavor: pretty much mirrors the aroma (that cranberry is there underneath it all). And the finish is the same as well
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper, lean smoothness along the tongue as the cranberries stifle just a wee little bit with a light tart sting
Overall: nicely done impy stout with an ever so slight kiss of tart from the cranberries. I'd have again.
