Taster at the brewery. Pours black, with a small, creamy, tan head. The aroma is tart raspberries, light dirt, bitter cocoa, raw coconut, and maple. Sweet and very tart. Medium to heavy body, with a syrupy, acidic, and clingy mouthfeel. Very interesting, perhaps even the best sour stout I've tried.

Taster at the Feast of Saint Arnold. Pours black, with a big, foamy, brown head. The nose is sharp coffee, biscuit dough, cinnamon, bittersweet chocolate, and vanilla. Sweet up front, with a sharp bitter finish. Very heavy body, with a sharp, boozy palate. This is a complex, harsh, and tasty stout.

Sample at the Feast of Saint Arnold. Pours a hazy, purple color, with a medium, frothy, pinkish head. The aroma is berries and cream, lemon juice, vanilla, and toasted oak. Sweet, and a bit tart and a bit bitter. Light to medium body, with an acidic, relatively thick mouthfeel. This is an interesting and tasty IPA.

Taster at the Carter Payne. Pours a bright, hazy, orange color, with a small head. Smells of grapefruit, whole grains, wet grass, and resin. Nicely bitter, and not very sweet. Light to medium body, with a crisp, clingy, and chalky mouthfeel. This is a mellow, and interesting IPA.

Taster at the Carter Payne. Pours dark orange, with a small, creamy, white head. Cherry pie filling, rye bread, caramel, and some resin. Sweet and syrupy, with a light bitterness. Medium body, with a sticky, syrupy mouthfeel. This is a fruity, and balanced beer. Pretty fun.

Taster at the Carter Payne. Pours hazy gold, with a small, off-white head and good lacing. The nose is orange peel, cinnamon, light ginger, floral hops, and leather. Not very sweet, with a sharp bitterness. Medium body, with a dry, crisp mouthfeel. This is a fun, cinnamony, hoppy Belgian.
