CLW Profile - Brewver

4 oz draft at the brewery. Pitch black color. Aroma has soft dark fruit, prune, raisins. Flavor is very similar. Alcohol is not noticeable. Yet, I was hoping for a lot more body for the style. Pretty thin.

Bigelow Hollow from Taylor Brooke Brewery

6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6

4 oz draft at the brewery. Brown in color, zero head. Aroma shows mild oats, weak chocolate. The flavor would indicate it is lighter then 5.3%. It shows almost zero malt backbone. Thin would be a compliment. This has oats? Wish it would taste more like it smelled. This needs a lot of work.

Passionfruit Gose from Black Pond Brews

3 months ago

7.3/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

4 oz draft. Aroma is nothing but bold passionfruit. The flavor starts out sweet and then it turns mildly tart in the finish. Just a touch of salt here. Well, it certainly doesn’t lack passionfruit.
