Pint at the source served on cask. Dark brown with a huge head for a cask beer. Roasty chocolate with hints of oak and light fruit. Creamy slightly ashy mouthfeel. Really nice cask offering.

Growler from the brewery. Dark brown/ black color with a smallish tan head that persists. Rich milk chocolate dominates the nose. Faint bits of creamed coffee, light pitted fruit, and earth play supporting roles, but this one is all about the choco love. Silky creamy mouthfeel medium body with a moderate carbonation. Great brew, I’m trying to figure out the best way to incorporate this with some ice cream honestly.

Pint on tap at the brewery. Slightly hazy deep golden bordering on amber with a decent sized off white head. Juicy tropical fruity with a light citrus and a solid dank resinous aroma. Light bready almost toasty malt deep underneath. The flavor follows the aroma quite well. Clean well made IPA, dangerously quaffable given its abv. Great Beer!

Pint at the source. Deep reddish auburn color with a fair amount of haze and a frothy off white head that shows good retention. Rich bready pilsner maltiness with slight hints of light fruit. Initially I thought the spicy hop bite was a bit overdone for the style, but my palette adjusted quickly and I enjoyed the hell out of this pint, and the company!

Keg pour at NH Brewfest. Appearance is nice light brown pour with no sparkle, light head with decent lacing. Aroma is roasted malt more than smoke. Taste is smoke dominant bitterness. Palate is medium bodied with creamy texture, with long, pleasantly bitter finish. Overall, a lot to like here. Given that the smokiness is going to dominate almost everything, there is surprisingly more going on.
