16 ounce can from Lower Merion Beverage. Medium gold pour. Large puffy white head. Spotty lacing. Bready malt aroma is flush with herbal, buttery Saaz hop aromas. Sweet bready malt flavor is balanced nicely by the spicy, herbal hop bill. One of the best local interpretations of of Czech Pilsner I’ve had. Right up there with Human Robot.

On tap at the brewery.
Poured into a nonic.
Appearance: a bar pour's kind of head gave way to semi-quick dissipation and no lace on top of a dark brown close to black color
Aroma: tons of chocolate malt and sweet oats seem to blend with baker's chocolate semi-sweetness, mild dark bread further underneath
Flavor: blends all the prior noted aromas very sweetly; milk chocolate aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability; pretty smooth along my tongue; finishes milk chocolatey sweet
Overall: nicely done milk/sweet stout worthy of coming back to.

Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: dark brown close to black with a thin cap of a little khaki foamy head which dissipated and left some light concave lace
Aroma: deep and rich dark roasted malts, coffee, light espresso and dark & milk chocolate, subtle earthy hoppiness underneath
Flavor: milk chocolatey sweet with the roast and coffee tones balancing for a stellar blend; sly aftertaste of the coffee and milk chocolate
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; semi-smooth along my tongue; finishes nicely through the coffee and chocolate smoothness
Overall: what an absolutely well done imperial porter more than worthy of returning to!

Thanks Dwayne
Crowler to tulip.
Appearance: ruddy orange/amber color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: grapefruity/pine and citrusy hoppiness and clean biscuity malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together bittersweetly, subtle piney to orangey aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, finishes grapefruity to pine hoppy
Overall: pretty nice IPA I could come back to.

On tap at the brewery.
Poured into a nonic glass.
Appearance: dark maroon/brown, bar pour's kind of head which slid off immediately and didn't leave any lace
Aroma: sweet nutty to caramel tones breathing through a nice English ale yeast and causing some semi-floral/earthy tones to run through some chocolate malts
Flavor: mildly sweet with a substantial roasty to earthy backing; sly aftertaste of caramel & chocolatey malts
Texture: light bodied, pretty sessionable, very smooth along my tongue, finishes clean, smooth and nutty
Overall: I say a very nicely done English dark mild well worthy of coming back to.

Can shared by Steve. Light haze, nice sparkle, good head, retention, nice lace. Aroma is pilsner malt & mild lime, vague hops. Taste is pilsner malt & light lime. Frothy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Wish hops were stronger.

16oz can from brewery. Normal looking pour, golden, white head. Hoppy aroma, citrus, dank. Taste brings in some bready malts, but they are therre to support the pretty bold hop flavors. Nice IPA!
