Enjoyed on tap at Revolution Brewery with my bandmates before a bar show in that area. Appearance is a slightly cloudy dark amber with rich white head. Aroma smells like whole hops, mixture between grassy, citrus, and weed. Taste is an explosion of bitterness and sweet, definite hop dominance with a bit of malt to slightly balance it out. Very good IPA.

Enjoyed on tap at Revolution Brewery in Chicago, IL with some friends prior to seeing the band F*ed Up. Didn’t take notes while drinking, but this was a decent offering from one of my least favorite styles. Definite nutty / malt presence and I remember this being a bit tart, and also remember that this was towards the bottom of the keg which may have altered the taste a bit. Still pretty decent though.

Enjoyed on tap at Revolution Brewery in Chicago, IL with some friends prior to seeing the band F*ed Up. I didn’t take tasting notes, but from what I remember this looked really nice in the glass, dark amber with a rich head in a weiss glass. Aroma was a bit faint, but definite malt presence. The one thing that stuck out for me was that this one had an apricot flavor, which could’ve been an off-flavor, definitely ester-y and yeasty. It was still good, just tasted like it may have come from the bottom of the keg.

Enjoyed on tap at Revolution Brewery in Chicago, IL while eating dinner with some jabronies who I happen to be in a band with. Rated while watching Teen Wolf. Appearance a vibrant bright gold with thin white head that rims around the glass. Aroma of spices, coriander, wild yeast, very floral, stings the nostrils. Taste very floral and spicy, but smooth at the same time with decent carbonation. Wild yeast and spices are the prevalent ingredients, kind of sour in the finish. Really is pretty good.

Enjoyed on tap at Revolution Brewery in Chicago, IL while hanging out with my bandmates who offended our waitress within the first 30 seconds of sitting at our table. Appearance pitch black with tan head that rims around the glass. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, definitely nutty, very nice. Taste is very smooth and delicious, chocolatey in the front with nice burning sensation in the back end. Great profile and flavors, carbonation level is good, nice bitterness. Exceptionally good and solid.

Opaque black, steady beige s=rusted head. Mellow, sweet chocolate aroma. Big and chocolaty, with some molasses touches. A touch sugary, but quite well done and delicious. Coffee notes in the aftertaste. Quite robust, but still capturing the Porter style well.
