Delicious brew. I had to have another one in Seattle. Local brew from on tap. I’m not sure how good it is off tap, but it sure was good on tap. Malty and fairly smooth. Yum. Best beer other than Guinness I’ve had lately.

Hideous. There’s is just nothing here to make me want to drink this. Thin, lacking in everything....a step above Bud. Maybe.

Draft: Poured a dark reddish brown with an off white head. The aroma is sweet malts. Taste is very lively with malts, caramel, and chocolate.

Unclear dark ruby brown, average creamy tan head lingers. Sweet roasty malt aroma. Sweet dark malt taste, some toffee and dark fruit. Oak and whisky emerges as it warms. Low hopped, softly carbed, medium body, silky mouthfeel. Light sweet and bitter alcohol finish. LBW (Lagerboys Be Wary)

From tap at taphouse grill. Pours hazy dark brown with a small off white head. Aroma is mild spiced, vague phenolic and dark roasted malty. Light phenolic, toasted malty and dark caramelish. Bitter and dry malty finish.

Pint @ 418 Public House. Smells a tastes a little smoky and certainly malty but it’s just not big enough to really hammer it home. After all of those Elysian Valhallas, this scotch style ale is practically sessionable.

650ml bottle pours amber in color with a finger and a half of off-white head which leaves little lacing on the glass. Aroma is smoky malts. Taste is smokey with some caramel malt sweetness and a slightly sour finish. Medium body and light carbonation. A decent scotch style ale but nothing really special.

An esbls tasting. Clear and coppery. Na small tan head. A soft nose has light fruit and mild hoppiness. Molasses flavors, chocolate, light fruit. Nicely understated andvit gets nicer as it warms.

Pours with a ruby-copper body and a huge and very languishing head. The aroma is soft fruity malts with a hint of caramel and cherry. The taste is heavy malt and a sharp alcoholic finish. It’s pretty, but it needs a lot more work to become truly tasty.

22 oz from malt and vine in redmond wa. pours dark amber, but interesting within seconds looked more like a root beer color and got dark. off white head. very easy going down and malty.

Draught at St. Augustine, Vancouver
Dark amber to brown color; creamy head. Light caramel aroma. Caramel flavor, with a strange touch of raspberries; some residual sweetness; correct bitterness.
Pleasant.
