Draft pour at Toronado. A dark, muddy reddish brown pour. Plenty of sticky head and lacing. Cherry, malts, and an apple like nose. Flavor is a bit oapery, and leather like. Some true cherry flavor to follow. Good things going, but the construction paper seems to be the main flavor going on for me. Flavor isn't too heavy here. Watered down a bit. Not bad.

Schooner at brewery. Clear slick dim gold color. Flavor really has a flavor ruining hop flavor. I could smell that bitterness as well. Mosiac is a fun hop when people that make it bitter. The rest of those hop flavors that rock are subdued. Light, clean malty bread beer behind that. Why ruin beer with so much bitterness.

Schooner at brewery. Probably my last trip here. I imagine if I come back to visit I won't really go out of my way to get here. Really dark brown color that looks black. Stick khaki lacing. If this wasn't advertised as fruit flavor added I would think it's natural from the hops. The orange is mild, tastes natural, and closely aligned to the bitterness of the beer. Lots of bitterness, not oppressive but a lot atop a clean beer. Not much black from this IPA.

Poured out a pitcher from tap to fill this schooner. Full of floaties which may be lemon pulp. Tastes like actual lemon and light tonic water mixed in this. U guess it mimics a gin and tonic relatively well. Though that isn't particularly interesting to me.

Tap. Brown color with reddish highlight. Aroma is coffee, brown malts, a touch of smokiness. Taste is mineralic, coffee, brown malts, earthy, with a rather dry finish. High, but soft carbonation. Good.

Draft 12 oz pour at Tornado. A copper pour with a rocky foam head and a ton of lacing. Very standard IPA. I guess the name said it best. Malt forward in aroma and flavor, with a grassy hop profile that battles. Not a whole lot standing out, but good overall.

2016-02-07, draught at the brewery, 6.2% ABV, 6-4-6-2-12=30
Black color with creamy head. A bit roasty and a bit chocolatey, muffled, I suspect there is some nitro in the tap.
Easy, but not bad. Soft.

2016-02-06, draught at Perihelion, Seattle, 5.6% ABV, 5-4-6-3-12=30
Black color. Roasted malts, but mild, the mouthfeel is dry, it’s also a bit chocolatey.
Easy but not bad.

Draught at the brewery; Randall with chipotle
Dark color, the aroma is rather mild, but it has a nice mix of dark chocolate, roasted malts, and smoke; the chipotle adds a much appreciated hit kick.
Very nice.

Draught at the brewery
Golden color, creamy head. A bit too much malt to let the hop shine, anyway the hop qualities are a bit muffled, although it has enough bitterness.
Average.

Draught at the brewery
Black color with brown head. Good Stout, the rye clearly adds a light spicy touch to the roasty Stout.
Very nice.
