Pours gold with a small white head. It has a bready, grainy malt aroma. The flavor is sweet and grainy with a touch of fruity notes and mild balancing hops. Straightforward. Decent.

Pours black with small tan head. The aroma is bourbon led with dark roast malt and chocolate. The flavor is fairly sweet with roast malt, bourbon, and chocolate. Full body. I love a good barrel aged stout and this is very good if not as intense as hoped.

Pours hazy pale yellow small white head. It has a fruity, hoppy aroma. The flavor is typical for the style in being hoppy but not very bitter. There’s citrus and malt and it’s surprisingly flavorful for a session IPA.

Pours lightly hazy gold with a minimal off white head. The aroma is of clove, yeast, and lemon. Frye flavor has clove accented spicy saison yeast, lemon, grainy malt, and a little hops bitterness. Lively palate. Good saison.

Pours amber-brown with a very small head. The aroma is of caramel malt and booze with a little dark fruit. The flavor is very sweet with caramel malt and some cherries and other dark fruit. Full bodied. It's alright but sweeter than I'd like, sugary sweet. I usually like barley wines that are darker and/or hoppier, preferably with some barrel aging.

Pours dark brown with a small, lingering head. It's a straightforward brown ale with an aroma of toasted caramel malt and a similar flavor, sweet from the malt forward focus but not too sweet. Medium bodied.
