GarrettB	3.4 BoB Social Club Coffee Milk Stout July 3rd, 2015 - My palate here at Beer on Broadway is getting a bit fatigued, so I finish with the Coffee Milk Stout. The smell spills out of the taster glass too quickly for me to catch much of a whiff, but there is a bit of a cream and coffee smell, though not complex or deep. I blame the vessel. The body is thinner than I expected, but the brew offers a long, savory coffee satisfaction, dry and not especially bitter. There's a slight tang too, though not especially strong. Thursday, September 27, 2018
GarrettB	3.6 BoB Eagle Rock Pale July 3rd, 2015 - The last two tasters from BoB were phenomenal, and even their Pale Ale has a distinctive touch that's rare to find in brewery operations this size. More leather and tobacco in color, the aroma is slightly weedy but normally hoppy. But suddenly fruits lunge out of the flavor, leading with mango, and finishing with strawberry and pineapple. More excellence! Tuesday, September 18, 2018
GarrettB	3.6 BoB Placer ESB July 3rd, 2015 - Brewery on Broadway really impressed me with their stout, and the ESB follows in suit. Light and slight on the nose, it has a fine clear and golden color with plenty of visibility to take in the other side of the bar. As an ESB it is robust, with some muscles to flex, but importantly, finesse in balance. There's a slight sweetness in there too with a dusting of Bazooka Joe bubble gum, but nothing off-putting. Just supplementary. Another winner from an under appreciated brewery. Monday, September 17, 2018
GarrettB	3.8 BoB Gothic Sour Imperial Stout July 3rd, 2015 - Sour? Stout? This is weird, but this is a strange brew. Sour and lactic and tasty on the aroma, it invites lots of extra sniff samples. And when I indulge, I get oak and a bit of tobacco flavoring, which wins my approval. The flavor introduces my acidity and lactic acid, with a tasty oak and tobacco flavoring, which DOES win my approval. But the overall impression here is of funk - potent and powerful. And while not definitive, it's an important dimension of this brew. (Note, my mother who hates beer said this was her favorite beer of all time. Weird.) Sunday, September 16, 2018
Ratman197	3.5 BoB Colorado Brut IPA On tap at Strange poured a clear gold with a lasting creamy white head. Aromas of straw, citrus, earthiness and pine. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of straw, pine and light citrus with a crisp dry lingering bitter finish. Monday, August 27, 2018
onceblind	3.1 BoB US 285 Kölsch Hazy deep golden orangish under a thin white cap. Slightly bready yeasty grainy aroma. Grainy bready light flavor that’s a touch yeasty and muddled. Saturday, August 25, 2018
GTAEgeek	2.8 BoB Goji Berry Pale Ale Taster at the BoB. Pours a slightly hazy, orange color, with a medium, frothy, white head. The aroma is bergamot, green tea, apple juice, pine, and resin. Some sugary sweetness, and a hard, earthy bitterness. Medium body, with a harsh, sticky, and chewy mouthfeel. This is an interesting, bitter, and fruity pale, but not really enjoyable. Thursday, August 2, 2018
GTAEgeek	3.3 BoB Placer ESB Taster at the BoB. Pours a nice, clear, bronze color, with a small, fizzy, tan head. The aroma is caramel, pecans, rye, sweet cherries, and hay. Sweet and syrupy, with a sharp, pleasant bitterness. Light to medium body, with a syrupy, flat mouthfeel. This is a balanced and smooth ESB, but nothing special. Thursday, August 2, 2018

hayayoshi	3.3 BoB One Barrel Hot Buttered Rum Lingering light foamy head. Not much there for the aroma. The flavors pretty unique. Caramel, slight rum, cinnamon, sweet butter, nutmeg, and a Xmas spice kick too. Looks like a dark beer but is pretty light and heavy in carbonation. Wednesday, February 14, 2018
hayayoshi	3.9 BoB Olof's Chocolate Imperial Stout Real dark pour. Brown bubbles but doesn't carbonate much. Really heavy and rich on the palate. Super chocolatey, milkshake like, malty, sweet, oat and barley flavors, with a boozy finish. Pretty straight forward. Not a complex stout but still pretty good. Wednesday, February 7, 2018
hayayoshi	3.8 BoB Social Club Coffee Milk Stout Dark pour that doesn't let any light through with a brown head. Smooth on the palate. Almost hardly any carbonation. Definite raw coffee beans for the aroma. Taste starts easy and then introduces light roasted coffee, slight bitter chocolate, and light on the sweet. Little bit of burnt oak on the finish. The nitro version is higher on the sweetness, stronger on the coffee and milk profile, and in my opinion better! Tuesday, January 16, 2018
Thechasm442	4 BoB Kölsch Ale Draft. Cloudy golden yellow in color with an average white head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is light citrus, floral hops, grains, and lime.

This is one of the better coffee stouts I have ever had. Friday, May 12, 2017
Thechasm442	3.5 BoB City Mark Mild Draft. Mostly clear honey colored with an average off white head. Aroma is toffee and bready malts. Taste is toffee, nutty toasted malts, and floral hops. Slightly sticky and light overall. Friday, May 12, 2017
Thechasm442	3.1 BoB Cilantro Chili Cinco De Mild Draft. Murky brown with an average beige head that leaves decent lacing. Aroma is mostly peppers. Sweet malts and faint cilantro as well.
