From notes. Bottle poured into a shaker. Sweet grains, caramel and citrus. Decent barleywine, but nothing super special.

Draft sample: STILL have some notes from the 2011 Midwest Brewers Fest. A little darker and cloudier than the Uinta WYLD I just had. Thin, clingy head of foam. Smell shows some good Cascades, a little citrus and pine. Good citrusy hop taste to it too. Caramel malts and crystal involved in sending it down very nicely. A lot more hop in the backstop.

Draft. Pours black like used oil with a half finger of dark tan head. Aroma is huge vanilla. Coffee, chocolate and black licorice follow. Taste is about the same. Medium sweet. Vanilla, caramel, licorice with a hint of oak. Full bodied with a thick and creamy texture. Soft carbonation and a very very long finish. Overall, great. I’ve not been too impressed with most of the stuff from Finch, but this one kicks ass.

can. to be honest, I have no idea of it’s color/appearance - I went straight from the can. Very solid IPA - smooth, yet hoppy. Super easy to drink. Liked it.

Sampled from a 16 oz can this beer poured a caramel-amber color with a medium sized foamy white head that left decent lacing. The aroma was sweet pine, grapefruit and a bit of catbox. The flavor was somewhat harsh and bitter pine, catbox and lemon. Medium length finish of pine and lemon. Medium body. Solid.

a 5% stout? In a can? Hmmm.. Served fairly cold in a pint glass. No head was produced. Poured midnight black. I can smell vanilla from a few feet away. licorice and tobacco on the nose. Taste is very pleasant. Sweet, vanilla, toffee, oak and licorice. Medium body despite the midnight oily color. Decent beer.
