On tap at the source. Pours a reddish brown color with a creamy beige head that fades quickly. Smells of brown sugar, caramel, lightly fruity with a hint of chocolate. Taste is mostly brown sugar and caramel but does have a touch of ethanol and some chocolate. Medium body and carbonation level with a sweet almost cloying mouthfeel. I find old ales hard to do well, sometime they feel like extract based home brewed beers because of the caramelization that is almost a trademark of the style. I found this one only ok and my least favorite beer of the bunch.

On tap at the source. Pours a cloudy murky reddish amber color with a creamy off white head that provides maximum stickage to the glass. It doesn’t look great. Smells of citrus pine and resin with bits of apricot and tropical fruit. There might be some bready malt in there but its hard to tell. Taste is fruity hop goodness with citrus and pine flavors and little bits of bread every now and then. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a slick resinous mouthfeel. Really nice double IPA that looks like shit but tastes like buttah.

On tap at the source. Pours a solid black color with a creamy tan head that sticks lots of lace on the side of the glass. Smells roasty and chocolaty with hints of caramel and earthy hops. Taste follows the smell to a tee. My wife reminded me that I took the first sip and said damn that’s good. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a smooth slick mouthfeel. That is a nice stout!

On tap at the source. Pours a clear deep golden color with a creamy white head that slowly dissipates to a cap. Smells of sweet honey and grainy malt with a hint of corn and a solid earthy spicy hop presence to provide some backbone. Taste is grainy sweet malt with a hint of corn and a nice bit of spicy hop. Creamy smooth mouthfeel with a sweet mouthfeel and a spirited level of carbonation. This is a great cream ale and it led me to spend more time investigating their other beers than I think my wife had anticipated.
