Tap @ Taos Ale House. Pours a cloudy, reddish brown appearance with a small white head. Fairly spicy, banana, burnt malty aroma. Caramel, clove banana, pretty spicy, toasty malty flavor. Bleh.

Tap @ Taos Ale House. Pours a bit hazy reddish orange appearance with a tan head. Somewhat piney, citrusy, fairly sweet aroma. Candy sugar, very sweet, caramel, a bit piney hoppy flavor. Unbalanced on the sweet side.

Hazy straw. pepper, coriander and citrus on the nose. Orange peel. And phenols...every beer here finishes with the same nail polish remover phenols. Gotta tidy up that yeast.

Hazy amber. Nice head. Lightly spicy, sweetish vague pumpkin notes. Strong, and there are still some random phenols which seems to be a house issue right now. Not bad, though, and at this strength drinking one probably all you’ll need anyway.

Roasty aroma. Light chocolate. Dark brown. Thin, a bit crackery. This isn’t a bad porter, but it kind of underwhelms on the palate.

Hazy tan. Thick head. Phenol/Band-Aid character explodes on the nose, overwhelming everything else. This continues on the palate - the hops are lightly earthy and the malts are bready but too much band-aid comes through, making this a challenge.
