6/10
Even less interesting than I imagined. Like many blondes, come to think of it. (Myself included.)

Aromas are Coco, roast, dark malt and a little black patent. Flavors are thankfully not overly sweet, and like nose with the black patent coming out a little bit more with licorice. Maybe some molasses. Slightly chalky body but good overall.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, 11/25/20. Clear dark brown, thin head. Aroma of chocolate, nuts. Taste is roast, nuts, cherry, chocolate. Thin. Not bad, but this would be better if they called it a brown ale.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, 11/25/20. Slightly hazy gold, thin foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of nuts, hay, corn, earthy hops. Taste is pale malt, white bread, corn, citrus. Medium bodied, a bit sticky. Some diacetyl in texture if not in flavor. Decent balance. Pretty decent but some faint warning signs there.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, 11/25/20. Hazy orange, thin tan head. Aroma of corn and diacetyl. Taste is much the same. Butterscotch and buttered popcorn. Thin. I know there's corn in this, but it ain't good.

Apparently they recently changed the name from Joe Beer to Joe’s Beer. Maybe soon they’ll change it from faux-porter to real porter. Anyway, it’s a good drink.

NE IPA...yeah right. Filtered looking body, lowest of the low NE IPA frauds. An OK Pale Ale sort of, maybe a British Pale Ale. Pathetic attempt at the style.

Tap at Hillsboro. Brown-black body. Steady beige head. Homebrew body, poor attenuation. Decent enough flavor, no off tones, but no finesse either.
