brokensail	3.1 The Lab Cold Fusion Java Coffee Porter Pours almost black in color with a khaki head. Nose is actually pretty good. Tons of coffee, some roasted malt, and mild chocolate. A hint of sweetness, too. Flavor is a real letdown. Very watery, roasted malt, dark chocolate, and a decent amount of coffee. The flavors aren't bad, but the beer is just too watery.

daknole	2.4 The Lab Big Ass Red Reddish pour, off white head. Aroma of caramel malt, yeast, bread, sweet esthers, old fruit. Flavor is not so great. Grainy, stale hops, a bit of a tart note...meh. Friday, June 15, 2012

BMan1113VR	3.4 Twisted Oak Tavern After Midnight Moo Milk Stout On tap at the brewpub. Pours with a near black body with a large tan head and good lace. Aromas are dusty, cocoa, roast, light coffee, bready, medium esters and earthy. Flavors show medium earth, leather, soil, toasty, bitter, medium roast, light lactose and a hint of anise. Some lingering coffee, medium bubbles with a fuller body. Pretty good, but for their darker beers, the Java Porter gets my vote. Thursday, March 15, 2012
BMan1113VR	3.1 The Lab Bad Influence IPA On tap. Pours with a clear golden hued body with a large and fluffy white head. Aromas are of pine, citrus, medium tropical fruit, orange, and a bit nutty. Medium malt presence. Flavors are estery and medium sweet (too sweet for my palate), tangerine and tamarind. Medium bubbles and a strong, lingering bitterness. Alcohol adds to a stickiness. Lingering sweet. Thursday, March 15, 2012
BMan1113VR	3.3 The Lab Wit On tap at the brewery. Pours with a hazy golden hued body with absolutely no head. Aromas are strongly floral, perfume, chamomile, coriander, light vanilla, tangerine and orange peel. Flavors are grainy, bready and a touch (maybe a bit too) sweet. Some coriander, grains of paradise, orange. Light hint of suntan lotion and pineapple. A bit of lasting citrus (grapefruit). Medium bubbles (surprising considering the complete lack of head). Light alcohol noted (odd), medium bodied. Pretty good overall. Saturday, November 26, 2011
