Taster at the Carter Payne. Pours black, with a medium, frothy, tan head. The nose is dark chocolate, smooth mint, rubber, and earth. Sweet and chalky, with a light roast bitterness. Heavy body, with a thick, grainy palate. This is a fun and well done stout.

Taster at the Carter Payne. Pours a clear, ruby-brown color, with a medium, frothy, beige head. The nose is dominated by a beautiful, smooth peat smokiness. Under that are some cloves, vanilla, and caramel. Syrupy sweet, with a touch of bitterness. Medium body, with a smooth and silky palate. This is a lovely smoked beer. Tons of peat character, but not abrasive.

Taster at the Carter Payne. Black, with a fleeting head. The nose is a nice, dry, red wine, dark cocoa, raspberry, leather, and cinnamon. Fairly dry and malty flavor. Heavy body, with a syrupy, astringent palate. This is an interesting and very wine-forward stout. Quality and interesting.

Taster at the Carter Payne. Pours a sorta hazy, orange color, with a medium, off-white head. The aroma is orange peel, tobacco, cinnamon, and Riesling. Dry and funky, with a really odd bitterness. Light to medium body, with a syrupy, astringent palate. This is a strange, not exactly pleasant, IPA.
