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
Grapefruit and unripe pineapple. Pretty nice initial hop aroma. Pours clear golden with decent initial head. Light slightly tangy end, some bitterness. A little cloy but doesn't hang out too long. Tap at Herndon taproom.
Pretty nice. Chicory adds a good vibe to this one. Roast, some bitter dark chocolate and coffee. Pours black with pretty good head. Bitter end with a hint of caramel. Best dark beer I've had from Aslin in a minute. Tap at Herndon taproom.
Maple syrup isn't too potent on this one. Adds some dimension to an otherwise unimaginative beer. Pours dark brown with ok head. Light tangy end that cloys for a bit. Tap at brewery taproom in Herndon.
Tangerine and some peel. Pine. Rye malt comes through fairly big. Pours dark orange amber with ok soap bubbles. Medium bitter end. Pleasant rye IPA. Tap at Herndon location.
Big lemon juice here. Rides through to the finish with a sour aftertaste. That finish isn't totally unpleasant. Some candied lemon drop there too at the end. Tap at Herndon location.
Some cascade mountains hops aroma here on nose. Not a ton of flavour but quite decent for the style. Pours hazy yellow with decent head. Light bitter end. Tap at Herndon location.
Reviewed from notes. On tap at Vermont Tap House, Williston, VT on 08/21/2021. Appearance: dark brown close to black with a bar pour's kind of slim eggshell white foamy head which slipped off nicely and barely left any lace Aroma: the maple, coffee roast and coffee sweet tones up front with some milk chocolate and dark chocolate in the middle then some sweet tones of bacon-ish & salty whiffs far down in there Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet & roasty quality and once again, the semi-sweet & salty bacon tones are hidden way in the back; finishes maple and coffee toned Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning to being a sipper; good smoothness and nothing really distracts the beer from staying smooth all the way down Overall: nice enough milk/sweet stout but there wasn't a whole lot of bacon.
Reviewed from notes. Can to becher glass. Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a two and a half fingers of eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace Aroma: sweet coffee, roasted coffee tones, subtle ash, sweet maple, light caramel/toffee malts and a little bit of chocolate Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to roasty quality; finishes coffee sweet with maple notes Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning to being sessionable, good smoothness Overall: nice enough milk/sweet stout that has what Aslin says are there.
