Very dark. Nitro head. Chocolatey, balanced, mild. Good stout. I look forward to trying this on CO2, though. I feel the hop will come out a bit better.

Okay, has a dull appearance. But nice lacing. Malts are a touch thick, bitterness moderate and while they use Nelson and I7 in this, there isn’t nearly enough hop expression for me. So it’s just okay - but plus for the abv to not be too harsh.

Smoked, oak-aged doppelbock. Bright amber. Not much head. Sweet, a bit sticky actually. Light beech smoke and a fairly strong impact from the American oak tannins. They needed that barrel to bring a sense of balance to a sticky doppelbock.
