Cask - Some berry notes and caramel. Clear copper with a nice white head. Bready grains with a long bitterness. Not very pleasant.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown color with a half finger white to off white foamy head that died down at a nice pace.Some stringy spider web lacing slid right on into the beer.
The smell had a light roasty coffee to mild chocolate.
The taste was roasty and somewhat bittersweet.
On the palate, it sat right at a medium in body and was somewhat sessionable. The carbonation was good for the style and for me as it had just enough sharpness about it.
Overall, I say this was a good porter worthy of having again.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was black with a half finger off white foamy head that quickly dies into the beer with some spider web lacing.
The smell had a toasted oatmeal up front with some light dark chocolate hanging around over some light roasted coffee bean.
The taste had a thick roastiness over some coffee bean and then a slight oatmeal come out.
On the palate, this sat right at a medium in body. There was a subdued carbonation running over my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good oatmeal stout to come back to if I could.

12 oz. bottle, slightly hazy gold with decent amount of suds. The aroma is a hearty amount of citrus fruits. Mango, grapefruit and hints of pine.
Flavor starts with the juicy fruits, tangerine, citrus pith supported by plenty of bread and caramel malts. The finish shows a hint of pine however, still mostly juicy. Bitterness lingers for a good while after the swallow. This is well above average and anybody local should try this. I will be grabbing another six pack. Delightful.

Pours deep gold into a shaker. White head with excellent retention recedes leaving sheet lacing. Tropical fruit and resin aromas. Dry with rapefruit upfront turning to caramel in the middle before going back to grapefruit pith for the lasting finish.

Bottle from BottleSelect.com. Pours hazy amber with a creamy beige head. Aroma is sort of lightly spiced light stone fruit. Near med body. Flavor is spice and some sort of citrus. Meh. It’s a little gluey in flavor. Maybe even in texture. Finishes a little bit peppery/spicy.
