On tap at brewery. Not as roasty as I’d like, more amber sweetness than roast malt. A bit disappointed in this. The search goes on for a good American dunkel.

On tap at brewery. Dark amber pour with small creamy head. Malty aroma with some hops on the backplane. Taste brings out the hops more, as well as the thicker, musty rye character. Close to an IRA.

On tap at brewery. I’ll admit I went for the high rated beers first, but there’s a reason they’re highly regarded. Big roast grains in aroma and taste, bitter bite lingers. Head fades fast, pretty thick coating on the glass. But this ones all about the roast malt. Really delicious.

On tap at brewery. Big meaty red ale, hoppy, malty, plenty warm. Perfect accompaniment with Saw food. Hope to see this beer fair well.

On tap at brewery. Don’t be surprised by the faint nose, big hops follow. Deep golden color, soft creamy head, some streaky lacing. Silky smooth, almost syrupy body. Hops linger...for a while. Big hoppy IPA.

Bottle share. Silky smooth, super hoppy aroma and taste, mildly viscous, light on presentation but huge on taste. Just great.

750ml bottle pours a hazy dark gold with some frothy, white head. Nose has candy, some peach, soap, lots of couch. Flavor is candy sweet, grass, straw, pepper. Harsh finish. Not real good.
