Tap at brewery. Looks like a brown ale. Nice light malty aroma. Yes, there is rye in there but don’t think its gonna be an IPA, its not. Its more like a conservatively brewed ale with a tad of tartness. Yes, is more like a brown ale with rye compared to most ales. I’m not an IPA fan and I think this is a great beer but if you want a typical IPA blast, go elsewhere.

Dark brown. Friendly smell, like it has a slight malty yeasty background. Taste is nice mild ropey thing. Easy going and fun to be with. I like this. Good stuff, well done. Really enjoyable. Yes, there is just enough bitterness in there to let you know its beer but its never in yer face.

Slight yeast aroma. Yes, spice fer sure, however, not over the top. A darker cloudy ale light brown in appearance. Not black tho. Yes youcould taste all the spices but no clear definition of any particular spice. Interesting, not many spiced beers out there I like but this is OK stuff.

On tap at the pub. From the start I found this to be an enjoyable fruit beer. It rises above the noise of so many ill brewed fruit brews. Cloudy with an off arrange vanilla color that barely has a tinge of pink. Very nice aroma that never comes across as artificial. First impression is nice easy raspberry on the backbone of a well done wit bier, lovely and fun. So much better than most fruit beers fer sure. Yes, a fun and easy beery berry experience. Light co2 makes it rather enjoyable. I could drink this all day. No hint of alky anyplace in this brew.

I’m not sure why they call this style bitter, all the good examples I’ve had are never really bitter, go figger. Dark and friendly looking. Smell is rather malty. Initially I barely detect any co2 in there. The taste is is medium gentle mild with a ESB feel there fer sure. Reasonably good bitter that stands up with the best of the style I’ve tasted. Good overall friendly impressions. Well done and well balanced. Nice!

Big & black with a nice choco moose head. First taste is smooth and easy, surprising for a beer rated near 7%. Yes, this brew hides its alky content well. Never leaves the realm of good sweet stout. Fun. Well mannered and civilized. For sure this is one of my favorite beers at this place. One of the better sweet stouts I’ve had in a while, its right there with the well behaved lower alky versions. Yummy, good job 4 bros. Slight bite of old wet partially burned campfire wood for a pleasant finish. Good overall beer experience!

Nice initial mild coffee aroma. Big & black presentation. No head to speak of. Whew, first taste is just what the name implies; coffee. Not quite as gritty and rude as most coffee beers. Yes, coffee all over but done in a way that is not offensive. Alky is well hidden in the brew, you’d never know it was near 6%. Well balanced coffee wise. I’m not much of coffee beer lover but this goes down well. Retains many good stout attributes throughout.

Mild smoked aroma fer sure. Quite attractive tot he nose. Big and black on the eye. Initially I think the smoke is well done, not over the top and so friendly. Just enough o keep you intrigued. Therfe is no rude bacon in yer face on this one. All the ruff smoked attitudes so common in unbalanced smoked beers is missing. I don’t like smoked beers but this one is sortah pleasing to me.

On tap at the brewpub. Look, I am by no means an IPA expert and I can care less for the bud numbing bitter style. However, this beer probably should be in the APA style regardless of its name, its quite mild for an IPA. Darker with a big head. Nice mild ipa perfume aroma. Yes, initially it starts out fairly mild then tries to build. Has an IPA backbone but it lacks the common terrible bitter rudeness so prevalent in todays IPAs. As a lager lover, this is probably one of the better IPA I’ve ever tasted and that’s due to the fact I don’t like the style. If this is 9%, it really hides the alky well. very little co2 and its not mouth coating viscous either. No long bitter finish on this one. Go figger. Yes, my girlies lager loven taste buds kinda enjoyed this one.
