What's Your Name Mean?
"Want to play a game?" Used to be our response, but because of our growth and your support we're adding this link to ease your curiosity. No, it's not an acronym. Yes, it is a name! But it's not a combination of ours. In fact, Andrew and Kai are brother-in-laws. Each married to 2 of 3 sisters. Richard's brother is married to the third. And Voila! There it is! We are all family by marriage and bond. Oh, and the name.... is the girl's maiden name! Brownie points

8 oz pour on draft at Aslin, served in a tulip/snifter. Black with a finger of tan head. Aromas of maple syrup mostly, caramel, chocolate, light roast. Tastes of big maple syrup, dark chocolate, caramel, raisins and dark fruit, subtle booze. Full body with a dry finish. They really knocked it out of the park with the maple syrup aroma/flavor. Up there with Macarooned for me for favorite Aslin beer.

Crowler shared at Travlr’s departure tasting. Poured into a snifter showing pitch black with a finger of latte colored foam. A lot of the beer foamed out. The nose shows a balanced mix of raspberry and roasted malt. The nose is light bodied and fully carbonated. Flavors of raspberry and vanilla forward but completely dry. Roasted malts are brightened by these flavors to be more akin to a milk chocolate. Drinks as if it was neopolitan with flavors of chocolate, raspberry, and vanilla.

Aslin rating #50! 8 oz pour on draft at Aslin, served in a tulip/snifter. Black with nice tan head. Aromas of dark chocolate, bits of coconut, gingerbread cookie. Coconut comes out a bit more on the aroma as the beer warms up. Tastes of dark chocolate, coffee, roast, toffee, toasted coconut. Super well masked alcohol. Full body with a dry finish. Probably the best beer I’ve had at Aslin.
