Draft pour pint enjoyed at Crooked Label, Monroe. Dark muddy brown appearance. Robust bold malt aroma and flavor. Has a slight coffee note on the nose. Burnt toast, dark bready malts, almost spicy like a rye hint. Malt turned up to 11 in classic Crooked Label fashion. Pretty good porter overall.

Draft pour pint enjoyed at Crooked Label. Dark cola, near black appearance. Moderate foam head. Really solid oatmeal stout here, and probably my new favorite brew from these guys. Aroma is a nice milk chocolate and toasty malt. Barely sweet, more so robust. Flavornis a mocha constant, with a bold, roasted malt finish. Smooth, easy drinking stout. Nice brew.

Om tap at Crooked Label. Golden amber appearance. Quick fading head. Unique Vienna here, somewhat metallic nose, caramel malts. Relatively smooth taste. Rich grain, caramel, earthy malts. Somewhat watery finish, but flavorful enough for the style for sure. Fun style to enjoy in my walking distance local. Pretty good.

Draft pour pint at Crooked Label. Probably my first brew from these guys to feature any real hop influence. Pours a somewhat cloudy golden orange with a moderate foam head. Malt forward pale, as expected from these guys. Bready and pils like grains with a decent amount of citrus splash. Hints of pine late as it lingers on the moderately bitter side. Lingering earthy wet malt. Unique pale here with good qualities.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6
Draft pour pint at Crooked Label. A mostly clean copper appearance with a thin fizz head. Tons of malt all around here, think with bready, caramel, and nutty malts. A bit of a dusty finish. Malt and berries nose. Easy drinking for the malt lover. This beer really describes what these guys are going for as a brewery. Traditional malt dominated ale. Some days I look for the hops. Some days I look for this. Not your typical amber by today's standards for sure, but pretty good overall.
