flatmatt Profile - Brewver (Dev)

On tap at HopCat Livonia. Pours a clear coppery amber with a white head. Toffee/molasses in the aroma. Flavor is toasty molasses and toffee, ginger, and nutmeg. Pleasant, with the spices on the lighter side but still very distinct.

16 oz can from Plum Market West Ann Arbor dated 05-Dec-2025. Lighter amber pour, clear with a white head. Toasty caramelly malts and piney hops in the aroma. Flavor has the toasty hops with caramel and butterscotch, plus some piney, floral, herbal hops. Okay, but not their best work.

16 oz can. Pours a clear yellow with a white head. Yeasty, pearlike aroma. Flavor is also yeast-dominant, clove and pear, some green apple and white grape mixing with the pear, especially toward the finish. Pretty good, not overly sweet. Nice.

12 oz bottle. Pours a largely clear amber with a white head. Dark fruit aroma, molasses, bourbon. Flavor is bourbon forward with notes of oak, dark fruit, molasses, caramel, and some booze. Body is fairly restrained for a 9% beer. I think I'd like a bit more body. Overall tasty, though.

Pour from a 16 oz can. Deept brown to black with a light tan head. Rich coffee aroma, cocoa, cream. Flavor is a good mix of coffee and cocoa with a light to medium roastiness, molasses, creamy vanilla. Smooth but a bit syrupy with some booziness. A tasty mix.

Pomacity 2021 from Stormcloud Brewing Company (Frankfort, United States 🇺🇸)

6.9/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 6.5 Texture 7 Overall 6.5

750 mL bottle from the brewpub. Pours a lightly hazy golden with a few small particles. Aroma is grape tartness, brett. Flavors of green and red grapes, pear, a bit overripe. Drying grape finish. I can't really say I recognize anything from the base beer, and I don't think the grape aging is really hitting me right. So it's just okay to me.
