Undated can from tfontana, drunk 5/27/26. Thanks, Tom!
Oh wow, interesting. Very fruity and easygoing. I get neither toast, caramel nor C hop that I'd expect from an American brown. Maybe some very light toffee on the end, but mostly just a huge yeast-like fruitiness.
Definitely not malt-forward, as they claim, and it's very dry, watery, fruity again, but this time with some roasted character and light pine and grapefruit. The roast/toast/C hop kind of wears on you, as the base malt isn't deep enough to accommodate it. That said, these guys are brand new, and once they (hopefully) work out the kinks of their brewery, they should be putting out some great beers, as these first offerings show lots of promise.

Can from the brewery. Clear, maple-syrup brown, tons of sparkle, decent head with fair retention, trace lacing. Aroma is strong roasted, slightly earthy, malt, hint of coffee. Nuttiness emerges as it warms. Taste is strong roasted malt, hint of coffee. Similar to aroma, nuttiness emerges as it warms. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste with mild lingering bitterness.

Canned 1/12/26, drunk 4/29/26. Compliments of tfontana. Thanks, Tom!
Super earthy cacao. Smells coffee-like, as the roasted barley mixes in. A hint of vanilla, but you wouldn't guess vanilla bean. Very nutty, very chocolatey.
Not very roasty, but with tons of chocolate and cacao character. Smooth, soft, silky, moderately sweet. Wish there was a bit more vanilla bean. There's a sugariness to this beer that is weird. In place of rich malt I'm just getting a very basic sugar flavor and the chocolate sweetness and low acidity isn't helping either.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you Tom! Aroma is mild cocoa, vanilla, and very mild Praline. The power of suggestion hits me again. Because the praline is definitely noticeable in the flavor. Good amount of soft, cocoa, and vanilla. Respectable body and texture for the gravity. I finished the can REALLY easy.

Not bad, a little simplistic but it drinks easy. Some melon and tangerine, low bitterness, general citrus. A touch on the sweet side but fine overall.
