On Tap at the brewpub. Nice very hazy red, amber with a very large persistant creamy light tan head. Aroma is medium malts with a quite bitter woody bite to it. Tastes quite bitter but lacking many of he nice citrusy flavors that come w/ that hop bitterness. Very rich a full bodied. Creamy and softly carbonated. Long lasting sharply bitter aftertaste.

On Tap at the brewpub. Pale slightly hazy yellow with a nice thick white head. Light grain aroma with nary a hop note. Flavoe was again light, soft and pale. Some paper notes that made it seema bit stale. Very lightly hopped. Feel was thin and fairly fizzy. Refreshing cold beer on a hot day, which I suppose is its purpose.

Draft: nice medium/dark amber color with a decent white head, nice lacing as well. Sweet malty presence as well as citrus and floral hops. Clean, crisp flavor and very drinkable.

On Tap at the BrewPub A clear light golden with a modest quick white head, and spotty lacing. Light grains and easy on the hops makes it refreshing and clean. Very slight bitterness at the end and a light feel. Pleasantly surprised.

On Tap at the BrewPub. Nice deep redish brown with a modest light tan head. Malty, sewwt woody aroma Nice heavy feel, a bit sweet and easy on the hop bitterness. Goes down easy despite its robust body and ABV. Washed down my Chipotle Burger nicely.

Draft: Re-rate. Color was this pure blonde/golden color with a thick white head that lasts and lasts. Taste is a medium intensity with fruit tones, sweet malt, and very light hop bitters. Very creamy texture coats the mouth well. Better the second time around.

Very dark brown, almost black pour. Thick to drink with deep coffee flavor, as well as chocolate, roastiness, malts, and hopiness to finish. Similar to thier porter, but more intense coffee flavor.

On Tap at the brew pub Very dark black, very small tan head an only a few specs of lacing. This was not the nitro version dark chocolate and deep roasted aromas. Lots of nice very dark roasted flavors and not too much coffe. Feel was a bit thin and overall well balanced. Quite good.

On Tap at the brewpub Light golden, slightly hazy with the expected thin but dense "lid" of a head dues to the nitrous. Pale and soft in the aroma and flavor as well. Very light on the hops and while uninspiring, interesting and quafable.
