7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Black with a medium tan head. Roasty malts, chocolate syrup, wood, toffee, sherry, dark ripe fruits. Full bodied. Finish has some booze over a tangy fruity note with some wood. Could be a bit more smoothed out. As the booze gives it a sharp edge that detracts some, but otherwise a nice beer.

More cloudy than hazy golden with a white head. This strikes me as a mashup of NE and WC because while it is sweet and oat filled with tropical bits, there are good citrus hops and nice bitterness. Finish has tropical fruit twang with some bitter notes too. Medium full body. It works for me since I don’t like NEIPAs. Not sure it’ll work well for hazy lovers though.

Very dark but with a touch of reddish highlights. Big, creamy tan head. Classic Irish stout profile with dry roasted malts, chocolate, a touch of coffee, light earthy notes. Finish is lingering roasted malts and quite dry. Full, creamy body. This slaps for the style.
