Corner, Austin tap: pours black with barely any head. Aroma is milky coffee and lactose with minor roast. Taste is sweet and legitimately "milker" than other milk stouts. Very low bitterness and not overpowering coffee. Not a huge fan.

On tap at Zilker, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of yeasty notes, dry hop powder and earthy notes. Flavour is just unpleasant, with bitter hops, vegetal and herbal notes. This is just bad. Please stop using hop powder.

On tap at Zilker, pours a cloudy amber with a small white head. Aroma is very vegetal, with herbal notes and cabbage. Flavour is no more pleasant, with cabbage and other vegetal notes, rotting notes, and subdued citrus hops. Very unpleasant hop character. Not good.

On tap at Zilker, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out English yeast, cereal malt and light caramel. Flavour is similar, with toasted cereal malts and bready notes. Fairly dry and unassuming overall. Okay.

On tap at Zilker, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out biscuity malt, vegetal and herbal notes. Flavour is similar, with vegetal notes, dry biscuity malt and some herbal notes. Not really understanding the point of this.

On tap at Zilker, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out vegetal notes, fresh grassy herbal hops and dry biscuity malt. Flavour is similar, with herbal dry hops, some vegetal notes and biscuity malt. Not that fresh, but fairly bitter and expressive as such on the finish. Decent.

On tap at Zilker, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank, herbal hops upfront, with lightly sweet bready malt. Flavour is rather abrasive, with dank, herbal hops, some cloying sweetness and bubblegum. Chewy and sweet. Not really what I hope to have in a IIPA.

On tap at Zilker, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of roasted espresso beans upfront, accentuated well with the lactose. Flavour follows accordingly, with a very nice coffee character upfront, followed by lactose and a touch of vanilla. Very good coffee character on the finish. Medium-bodied with plenty of depth. Good stuff.
