Smoke & Marzen from Gotahold Brewing

7.5/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Pint at a restaurant/taproom in Rogers, AR - a solid rendition here - rich smokiness that doesn’t overpower or become abrasive - the malt structure is a little on the thin side in the finish, but it is clean and lightly bready, with a touch of caramel - lingering smoke and light acidity - I got a second pint despite the very large restaurant taplist, so it must have been purdy good.

Confessions (Ghost: CONFESSIONS) from Adroit Theory Brewing Company

7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6.5 Texture 7 Overall 7

Can from Total Wine in Arlington, VA - viscous black pour - looks a bit oily, and the texture follows suit - I’ve had previous batches of this beer and have been impressed - while this masks the alcohol well and is fairy rich, it seems to lack the depth and complexity of previous batches - some chocolate, light vinous notes, a little coffee with cream - sugary finish - nose has some nice smoke to it that does not show up in the flavor - yeah, definitely not the same, but enjoyable enough - I feel like this brewery has fallen off in the last year or so.

Dogwood from Greenhouse Aleworks

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8

Can from a four pack picked up in Arkansas on a family trip - black pour - I appreciate the restraint on this one - the 9% abv is an aberration for such a stout these days, and it leads to a more balanced, semi-dry beer - the adjuncts are also used with a light hand - cocoa, earthy malt, coffee, light tannic character - finish has a gentle acidity - this is really a nice earthy malt showcase and is flavorful enough to sip - lightly warming finish - quite good and I believe my first Arkansas tick.
