This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a thin white foamy head that dissipated at a decent pace. Stringy lace.
The aroma starts off with some robust dry coffee bean, subtle cocoa powder and then some light brininess.
The flavor leans to the roasty sweet side. Robust coffee bean. Dry and barely any brine. No aftertaste, sly roasty finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation feels good for the most part.
Overall, pretty good effort at an oyster stout by an American brewer.

Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a ruddy dark yet burnt purple almost brown color with a thin white foamy head that dissipated evenly. Lingering sticky lace.
The aroma bleeds Belgian spiced fruit. Yeasty effects take some place with a light bready to semi-white pepper background.
The flavor balances between the yeasty/breadiness and hits the fruit and the spice fairly decent. No aftertaste but it does have a quick sweet yeasty sort of finish.
On the palate, this one was about medium in body with a fair crisp carbonation about it. Bready malts slide over in a smooth fashion on my tongue.
Overall, decent Americanized dubbel that I could have again.

Served into a tulip, the appearance was a ruddy burnt pale orange to yellow color. Thin white foamy head. Slow dissipation. Mild stringy lacing.
The aroma takes some herbal and floral sweetness rolling into a light citrus and somewhat grassy smooth quality. Opens up into some smooth lemon sweetness. Light white pepper. Some toast.
The flavor balances crisply between the sweetness and some super light bitterness of the hops. Herbal again. Smooth dry floral and herbal aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Medium carbonation, feels good for the most part.
Overall, good Belgian pale ale, willing to have again.

Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a ruddy semi-dark brown color with a thin finger’s worth of white foamy head that quickly dissipated. Sly messy lacing.
The aroma had some roasty dry and and sweet coffee beans up front with a light cocoa powder rolling in underneath with some nutty and caramel malts as well.
The flavor leans sweet through a combination of the coffee, cocoa powder and caramel malts. Light nutty to coffee sweet aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a great sessionability about it. Carbonation feels spot on and the malts help create a nice smoothness rolling over my tongue.
Overall, nice brown ale that I would have again.

This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt amber to red color with a sly finger’s worth of white foamy head. Subtle dissipation. Messy lace.
The aroma leans to some citrus to piney bitterness hops initially and then brings in a nice caramel to toffee backbone.
The flavor swiftly moves nicely between the malts to the hops. Really nice blend. Dry smooth clean hoppy to malty aftertaste rubbing against the finish nicely.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Mild carbonation allows the malts and hops to work very nicely and blend pretty good.
Overall, hitting all of the spots of a red IPA, Zero Gravity made this one work nicely. I’d have again.

Growler share with Doug.
Mine was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-burnt orange close to brown color. Slim messy lacing after the little cap of a white head dissipates.
The aroma starts off with some bready and roasty to nutty sweetness. Dosed with some citrus hops, a nice bitterness comes in for a good balance.
The flavor was basically the same as the aroma. Nutty roasty malty aftertaste with the same sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation feels good for the style and for me. Dry semi-sweet crispness rolling over my tongue.
Overall, really nice American styled brown ale that I would have again.

Poured out of my buddy’s growler my first time into a becher pint glass. Second time was a Heady Topper glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Sly messy lacing.
The aroma starts off with a sweet bready blend into some lemon zest, and citrusy hops.
The flavor leads to a nice blend between the malts and the hops. Really nice crisp balance. Bready citrusy aftertaste with a quick semi-wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice balanced bitter to sweet blend laying down on my tongue.
Overall, very well balanced AIPA that I would have again.

Poured into a pint glass, the appearance was a ruddy golden color with a thin white head. Quick dissipation. Mild lacing.
The aroma had some rye spice, then flaked rye malt (sweet portion) of it. Some light breadiness.
The flavor balances crisply between the spice and the sweet of the rye and then brings in a nice semi-sweet use of the lager yeast to smooth things out in the feel and cause a slight breadiness. Bitter grassy hops seem to come through in the flavor, but not so much the aroma. Light to medium bodied. Low to medium carbonation. I understand what Zero Gravity wanted to do with this beer and I like what they did. Good job as I would have it again.
