Father John's Black Friar Oatmeal Stout
Rated on 8-30-2013 at Father John’s Microbrewery, Bryan, OH. This draft beer has a very small head that quickly dissipated, dark brown body and no lacing. This beer’s aroma is coffee, roasted and malt. The flavor mimics the aroma. The mouthfeel is light carbonation and this beer is light-medium bodied. A quaffable Stout that does not have a lot of character to it.

Father John's Intolerant Ale
Sample at The Ohio Taproom. Brown pour with a medium light beige head that dissipates steadily. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of grain and hops. Medium-bodied with a mineral character and notes of grainy malt and metallic hops. The finish is grainy with a stale malt aftertaste. Unenjoyable overall, another gluten-free beer that misses the mark.

Father John's Eye For An EyePA
Murky orange/amber color with a very thin off white head. Fruity and floral hop nose. This is an odd IPA, and is definitely not a PNW IPA. Lots of fruity notes with apple and pear and some floral hops in the finish.

Murky orange brown color with a short lived off white head. Light orange citrus hop nose. Flavors of tangerine, Mandarin orange and candied orange rind. There is a broad fresh bread maltiness. The beer seems a bit disjointed. Long red grapefruit bitterness in the finish. Okay pale ale.

Father John's Father Hanigan's Dry Irish Stout
I drank this while on a tour with Dr. Trippy, who created this space. Dark beer with a foamy beige head. Dusty chocolate and roasted grain nose. This is a very dry stout, with lots of chalk and mineral tones accompanying the chocolate and sweetened coffee flavors. Nice end of the night digestif.

Father John's Brother Heisenberg Dusseldorf Alt Beer
On tap at the brewery. This is a deep dark amber color with a sticky khaki head that left attractive lace on the glass. Sweet nose with some burnt caramel notes. This is a sweet beer up front with brown sugar and some caramel, with the burnt sugar and ripe fruit coming out from behind the sweetness. Fruity flavors of apple sauce, pear and plum with some acidity and lemon rind in the finish. Interesting beer.
