Pretty good beer. A little more bitter than the actual Czech pilsner's that I've had. Fresh, grassy, bready, bittersweet. Clean and satisfying.

16 oz can from Woodman's, Rockford. Frothy pour with some spongy tan foam. Beer is reddish brown. Toasty malt nose like most any porter. Taste is noticeably drier up front than any dark ales. Still a slight touch of fruitiness, too. Decent hybrid of lager ferment and porter style malt bill, though perhaps a little more hoppy than either style wants.

Pour is a clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is a spicy hop with not much of a malt. Flavor is grainy and maybe even a little corny with again a spicy green bitter hop on the back of the tongue. This was a different pils for sure. I went back and forth on it but It ended up being quite tasty.

16 ounce can. Translucent dark brown color. Large frothy tan head. Stringy lacing. Rich, roasty malt aroma leans towards brown bread, tobacco leaves and Bakers Chocolate. Flavor upfront brings notes of bittersweet chocolate, crushed black peppercorns and dark chocolate. Medium bodied. Finishes dry and bitter. Quite tasty.

Grove draught, 2/15/24. Dark, undetermined clarity. Small tan head of modest retention. Pretty round, mellowish whiskey with soft chocolate-vanilla-roast and good base maltiness. Not boozey. Wow that's...shockingly good. The whiskey imparts a strong spice and savory character that works with the mild, mellow roast and light vanilla. Great balance, with good malt depth and attenuation. Nothing sharp or tannic here, no big coconut or anything from barrel. Lingering chocolate and honey-like maltiness with easygoing bourbon.

Grove draught, 2/15/24. Hint of chill haze. Muted brass-golden. Small smattering of white head sits at spotty cover. Malty (cookies and honey) with lightly peppery hops to balance. Can't say I don't get a bit of flour again... Powdery, floury again in the flavor. Seems like these need to age a bit longer? Kind of muddled flavors as a result. Which is a shame bc the dbl decoction gives a great texture and the beer is dry and not over-hopped.

Grove draught, 2/15/24. Clear, light amber-bronze. Small white head slowly to spotty cover. A bit floury in the nose. Very light, herbal hops and strong mineral character, minimal specialty malt. Good bitterness up front with modest maltiness (biscuit, cookie) and good attenuation. There's a pervasive slight flour character, for lack of a better way to describe it, that I don't live, but otherwise this is well-done.

Can from Tavour. Pours gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma of grass/spice with pale malt support. Med body arguably. Clean. Crisp. Dry. Grass/spice on top of light pale/bready malt. Very nice.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear dark brown with orange glints and a decent foamy tan head. Aroma of pie spice. Not quite med body. Flavor is pie spice, tho a bit peppery, and it seems a little wheaty. Dry, but more spice than bitter. Think I may be detecting actual squash. A veg thing. Decent but different.
