Very dark and deep copper, bronze and almost cola coloured clear body with a thinnish, half centimetre tall off-white and tan head - very deep and not very pleasant looking for the style. Aroma of earthy, nutty, grainy malts with a bunch of caramel, cardboard, rye, peanuts and funky yeast in the nose, without seemingly any hops - this one smells like a brown ale! Medium-bodied; Deep, caramelised sugar and toffee flavours show at first with some bread, yeast and a touch of sugars towards the end, but again, no real hoppiness, pungency, alpha acids or even any characteristics aside from the earthy and nutty notes. Aftertaste is one dimensional as well, with a faint hit of rye and specialty grains here, but the aforementioned caramel and toffee is the only note in the finish. Overall, this is very poor, especially for the style and I'd be disappointed even if this was categorised as a brown ale, but this is devoid of anything of value here. Definitely pass this one up and should I find any more from this brewery - I'll probably pass them up as well. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Hy-Vee Grocery in Madison, Wisconsin on 08-August-2021 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 09-October-2021.

Tap at Wauwatosa. Interesting beer, cool display of Hallertauer Blanc. Definitely adds some berry tone, but bright and tangy. Pleasant backdrop, crackery, bready tones. Straddling the IPL/Pils fence. Good. Kind of reminds me of a good one of those Mikkeller Single Hop beers from a decade back...in a good way.

Tap at Fermentorium Cedarburg. Creamy almost lactose touched ..I don't get any real prickly pear flavor, more salt and vanilla, lime...closer to key lime pie than prickly pear. Tasty OK.

Tap at Fermentorium Cedarburg. Really nice and drinkable for the ABV. Fudgy chocolate and caramel malt tones. Sweet and delicious.

Pint can thanks to Drake! Back to back pineapple IPAs. Orange-amber with a hint of haze and an off-white head. Floral hops, pineapple, light pine nose. Toasted malt, pine, pineapple... lacking a citrus bite. Tastes a bit stale too. The other one I just had was far superior.

Enjoyable rich milk stout, had at home on a Saturday afternoon on the last day of April. Heavy vanilla in the nose but balanced in profile. Very good stuff
