Have always loved porters and stouts. In recent years I have grown to really enjoy European and American lagers.

4 oz draft. Thirsty Moose Exeter, NH. Aroma is bold cocoa powder, soft vanilla and mild roast. Flavor follows with a soft bittersweet chocolate for balance. Almost a coffee hint.
Nice fuller body (for 6.5%) with a strong chocolate finish. Robust nose and flavor!

4 oz draft. Thirsty Moose, Exeter NH. A crystal clear golden color. The aroma smells like nearly nothing even when warm. Maybe a week and minimal.Almost like putting water to the nose.
Flavor is weak banana, weak malt, with a weak black pepper finish. No alcohol found but also a super thin body. Nothing off here, but not much flavor. Zero malt and weak yeast characteristics.

7.1/10 โ€” Appearance 6 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7.5
4 oz draft. Thirsty Moose, Exeter New Hampshire. Crystal clear, copper in color. Flavor is dominant in earthy grain, subtle clove and mild caramel-like malt. I donโ€™t get much yeast character in the flavor. Ends on mild hops. Thin body. Ummm. Not what I was expecting for the style.
Disappointed. A rare swing and a miss from this brewery.

4 oz draft. Aroma of mild cracker malt, soft yeast. Flavor Shows a good malt background with a light body. Finish is crisp with a mild hop balance. Standard macro lager. The price of a pint is not bad. Have no idea what a four pack would cost. Not sure how much this makes sense. Financially speaking

16 oz can. Aroma is A mixture of grapefruit and mild tropical fruit.
Flavor shows me passionfruit and pineapple upfront, and then it moves into grapefruit juice in the finish. Speaking of juice the texture is quite juicy. Very low citrus peel bitterness. Hidden ABV. Nice!

CLW updated a beer: Ectonaut brewed by Ever Grain Brewing Company

19.2 oz can. From the brewery. Aroma is mango, melon, soft herbs.
Flavor follows the aroma with the herb turning into pine. Thankfully, there is no obnoxious resin. Some cracker maltiness for balance. Texture is medium bodied with fruit turning into a mild pine finish. Pretty decent.

16 oz. can from The City, Sanford, ME. Deep brown / black appearance. Aroma is caramel and cocoa. Flavor follows the nose with body being on the lighter side of medium.
Ends on some burnt cocoa and roasts malts. Decent enough black lager. Body is a tad flimsy. The brewery calls this a โ€œwinter lagerโ€. Ok, winter lager is not a style.
This fits best under black lager / Schwarzbier style.
