Tap. Pours unclear yellow gold, small off-white head, good lacing. Aroma has notes of rye spice, pine, hint of caramel. Flavor is light sweet, light plus bitter. Medium body. Not much rye heat going.

Tap. Pours, clear mahogany, small off white head, some lacing. Aroma is tart, a hint of funk, cocoa, bourbon. Flavor is light tart, light plus sweet, acetonic. Hmm. Thin body. This wan is infected, my friends, but not too bad (yet)

Interesting. My experience was quite different than previous reviews. I would have sworn this was a straight up carbonated mead; honey and field grass, perhaps a trace of stonefruit if you are looking hard enough. Some brandy notes to finish things off. Pours clear golden orange, small off white head, decent lacing. Flavor is medium sweet, light bitter. Medium body.
Honestly, this should be a braggot by my understanding of the term, but whatevs; it aint great no matter how you cut it.

Last stop of the night. Easy parking, large interior space, a bit antiseptic perhaps. About 16 beers on, wide range of styles include BA offerings. Everything sold in a couple-three sizes including 4oz tasters. Solid service. There is an outdoor patio but it was closed because it was "cold" (ie like 65°) I started with some of the BA stuff which was a little rough and closed with a Rye IPA, which was a little rough. Oh well.

First stop of the evening after landing at MCO. Smallish space, between a BBQ restaurant and a homebrew supply store. They have parking, but on this Sunday afternoon there was a live band at the homebrew place and things were packed. Free street parking abounds however, so no biggie. Inside had a long bar some tables and a "back room" with a large TV showing the 9ers. Pretty extensive tap list, 16+ offerings. Flights of four available, priced individually. Decent service; good while you have their attention but not easy to get to that point. Beer quality so-so, unfortunately. The dopplebock was good. Food is from the BBQ place and is solid and pretty cheap.
