Russian Imperial Stout from Yards Brewing Company
10 years ago
3.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 3 Texture 2 Overall 2
A vary rare beer and since I don’t care for imp stouts I hesitate to rate. But, it must be terribly on style. Big & black. Barely any smell on this. Wew, first taste knocks me off me stand. Big alky blast in the face. Way too much for the expectations of this lager lover. Reminds me of when I siphon the old oil out my shovel. What else can be said? Its simply a mouth coating experience. BTW. its way 2 expensive for what you get, $1/ounce, not impressed.

Poor Richard's Tavern Spruce from Yards Brewing Company

6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
12 oz bottle from The Beer Store. Mild resin notes under the molasses sweetness, clean finish. Spruce beer is interesting historically, but there is nothing that seems distinctive about the flavor.

Rival (Rye) IPA from Yards Brewing Company
11 years ago
5.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
Rich light brown and a deep copper and bronze body with a bright pumpkin coloured glow and a thinnish, single centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of rye (what else?), grain, alcohol, hops, earth and a touch of caramel and brown sugars. Medium-bodied; Assertive grain and rye flavour with some mellow earth and a little sweetness and a touch of hops noticeable. Aftertaste is relatively simple with a touch of sugars and some faint rye and hops - nothing special here. Overall, a pretty disappointing beer with not much hops, not much rye and no complexity at all. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Fair Lakes (Fairfax), Virginia on 02-August-2015 for US$1,99 sampled at home in Washington on 24-September-2015 to celebrate the Pope coming to Philadelphia (and Washington/New York).
