Bomber courtesy of Irish Boy and shared with some of the Richmond, VA crew. Pours pitch black with a thin brown head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of roasted malts, nutty notes, sweet malts, caramel and vanilla. The taste is roasted malts, bitter hops, caramel, vanilla, coffee, bourbon and faint fruity notes in the finish. Medium-full bodied. Nice beer.

Ebony with massive deep brown head. Massive chocolate aroma. Hershey chocolate taste. A little too bitter/biting at the end. This is a great beer!

Tap at the Natomas location. Pours brown with a creamy off-white head. Slight roast malt aroma. Med body/mild carb. It’s rather fruity with "brown" roasted malt, and there’s enough bitter to offset the sugar.

Musty, malty aroma of an American Brown Ale - maybe a bit light. Dark reddish copper color with a substantial beige head. Starts a bit sweet, followed by a leafy, dusty vegy taste. Don’t think there is any hop. All weed. Actually a bit ongoing sweet in the finish. Sort of coats the tongue. It is what it is.

Tap. Poured a ruby color with a small-ish white head. Aroma is a tad fruity, malts, caramel, fruit. Flavor was malty, hoppy. This one was smooth, clean, and really good.

12 oz. bottle, pours golden with a medium white head. Aroma of citrus hops and grapefruit. Flavour is fairly standard hops, with nothing really to distinguish it. Solid, but forgettable.

Bottle. Poured deep clear red with thick white lasting head. Moderate lacing. Very full aroma, more like an IPA than a pale, much orange fruit. Flavour is more restrained, like a pale. Lingering hop finish.

Bottle. Poured amber with thin fast dissipating white head. Full floral and citrus aroma. Full flavoured a lot of balanced hop without being a hop bomb. Lasting grapefruit finish. Good on a muggy day.
