No aroma. Light body, smooth with a light toastiness and a pleasantly light hop finish. Vienna style lager that is slightly better than most I drink.

Rich malt in the aroma. Taste is like a bread or biscuit. Reminds me of a brown and serve dinner roll. Went down smooth with high drinkability. Would order more pints if I had the time.

Cascade hops in the nose and flavor. Medium bitterness, light to medium body with citrus coming thru from beginning to end. Decent APA.

Hazy yellow in color. Traditional nose of banana, bubblegum and wheat. Light, smooth, clean and refreshing. I ordered more than one, because it was just that good! A very well-done wheat beer.

On tap at Moat Mountain. Typical color, light and spotty lacing. Nice coffee and chocolate nose and taste. Medium mouthfeel. Beer finishes with bitter chocolate. Good drinkablity. Would drink again.

Overly expensive 22oz bottle poured into a snifter. Pours a solid black with no light penetration. smallish tan head dissipates quickly to a ring around the top of the glass. Smells of roast caramel, toffee, and chocolate, spicy perfumy hops, touches of alcohol and a slight smoky phenolic in there as well. Taste is roasty and smoky, mix up with some chocolate, caramel, and spicy hops. The body on this one starts off really thick, but somehow finishes quite dry on the palette with a lingering smoky roasty-ness. Low level of carbonation, creamy smooth mouthfeel. This is not the worst stout I’ve set to my lips, but certainly not worth the 20 dollar price tag. The body could be a little thicker, and I think the smoke is too strong and detracts more than it enhances this brew. One and done for me.

Newly available in 24 oz cans, very cool. Pours a deep golden color with a good sized fluffy white head that slowly dissipates to a cap. Smells of citrus, grapefruit, lightly toasted malt, a little bready maybe a hint of earthy. Smells like a nicely balanced pale ale. Crisp bitterness right up front followed by some grapefruit and a bit of biscuit. Leaves a long lingering citric tartness after every sip. Very nicely balanced brew. Medium level of carbonation and body. Great little pale ale, I could see lots of these easy drinkers in my future. Now if you could just bring down the price of the Imperial Stouts that you bottled....

Smokehouse Porter. Pours mahogany-tinged black into a Sam glass. Mocha pancake batter head with medium retention recedes leaving spotted sheets. Dark caramel, toasted pumpernickel and roasted Brazil nuts. Thin upfront with caramel and toast turning spritzy in the middle with a lasting roasted nut finish. Could use a little more smoke and body.

On tap @ Barley Pub in Dover, NH. pored into a snifter. A nice ruby red color. Small white head with very little lacing. Nose of sweet malt. Taste was a good balance of sweet malt and hops. Light body with a easy, smooth finish. A nice brew, that I would pay for again.

Pours clear gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Cookie, bread and caramel aromas. Sweet resin upfront turning to hay in the middle before the lasting hint of citrus finish.
