Bottleshare at CBJ. Thanks to Wingman. Near opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Airy smooth and semi dry palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Mellow dark chocolate malts, a little dark malt cream. Rich bourbon soaked fruits. Spicy bourbon finish. Standard stuff done well.

Aromas are dark malt, toast with hints of vanilla and molasses. Flavors are bittersweet with medium body and crisp carbonation. Leans more towards stout than towards brown ale. Decent but not great.
gave a cheers!

Tap at Nisha Kaunas. Med-thin body, med-high carbonation. Med-high bitterness, med-light sweetness. Not much character in here. There is caramel, a bit of honey and a hint of roast. But overall a semi-dark beer. Not great, not terrible.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Central Waters. A blast from the past. Glad these guys are still around and brewing. A mild to medium haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a little airy, reasonable fine carbonation. Fluffy but very light pale malts, a very light creamy sweetness. Hops bring light pine into a very pleasing hop fruity array. Elements of juicy orange and mandarin citrus, very mild pineapple. Crisp pine and light but persistent hop spice. A mild citrus peel tang on the light and semi dry finish. Goes down very easy.
