BuckeyeBoy	3.7 Plough Monday Imperial Breakfast Porter 750ml bottle pours out dark brown topped with a tan head. Nose is nice roast coffee chocolate ash and some light smoke. Taste is more of the coffee roast malts chocolate. Saturday, September 16, 2017
BillKismet	3.2 Plough Monday Organic X-17 Hoppy Pale Ale Sparkly, highly carbonated body with a poofy white head. Soft floral hop notes meld sweetly with the an amber malt and hay backbone. Body has a floral and herbal hop character with some ESB-like bitter notes that linger on the palate. On the light end of the spectrum and a tad watery, but easy drinking.

gregwilsonstl	3.6 Plough Monday Imperial Breakfast Porter Chocolate. Cola. Mild coffee. Thx aaron. Shared on wilsons cousins trip tillamook. Saturday, August 26, 2017
Reid	3 Plough Monday Organic Abbey White Ale. 750ml bottle from Lifesource in Salem OR. $7.99 I am apprehensive about this as i start., PL do excellent darker styles but not so good in lighter..and this is as light as they get! Pours a pale yellow that is ever so slightly hazed. Small white head that dissipates to leave nice lace down the glass. Not much aroma..slightly yeasty and phenolic..with whiff of alcohol. Taste is classic witbier..light, phenolic, honey and straw. Light with a semi dry finish. Palate is to style and nothing more or less. Could use a touch more carbonation. This is a "OK" beer..again PL prove not to be able to master the lighter styles..but its drinkable certainly. Tuesday, April 4, 2017
douglas88	3.9 Plough Monday Organic Imperial Stout 750 ml bottle from Whole Foods. Pours a nearly jet black color with a medium brown head. A Big roasty and chocolate nose. The flavor is very good: roast, heavy at times, metallic, dark fruit, sugary caramel and toffee, some vanilla. Round earthy malts. Milk sugar. Quite good. No heat at over 10%. Licorice, anise and dark roasted malts. Lovely. Thursday, March 16, 2017

Aromas of creamy dark chocolate and roasted oatmeal some dark fruits. Very nice. Taste similar..very smooth and balanced but with a nice bitter aftertatse.dark french coffee. Good smooth mouth feel.

stchloe	4 Plough Monday Organic Brown Ale A mighty fine brown indeed, nice sweet malts, very fruity or floral, well balanced with a bitterness and roasty notes, hints of chocolate, solid body and finish and just a lot of depth. Tuesday, January 3, 2017
Reid	3.3 Plough Monday Organic X-17 Hoppy Pale Ale 750ml bottle from Lifesource in Salem OR. $6.99 Clear darker gold in colour with a nice thick and frothy cream coloured head. Nice to look at. Weirdly subdued nose..some faint hops and mainly caramel malts. Taste is similar.very balanced indeed.caramel malts and some resiny herbal hops. Hops become more noticeable as an after taste. Mouth feel is fine enough..rather smooth and silky. Not the best. I prefer their darker beers . Friday, December 16, 2016
bpreo	4.5 Plough Monday Organic Summer Stout Amazing flavor, I really love the dark chocolate that the previous rater noted. Only downfall is the weak alcohol content. Other than that, terrific beer! Tuesday, December 6, 2016
luttonm	3.6 Plough Monday Imperial India Pale Ale SIBF 2016, Seattle. (as a 9.5% Amarillo DIPA). Cloudy orange, soapy head. Sweet, chunky hop. Raw, unfiltered, malty. Big Plough Monday character. Pine, bittering hop. Clean, modest big juice. Wednesday, November 23, 2016
Reid	3.4 Plough Monday Organic Basil Ale 750ml bottle from Lifesource in Salem OR. $6.99..usual good value. Pours a clear golden colour with a small off white head. Aroma of fruity hops, herbs and pine. Some caramel. Taste similar to the aroma but the basil appears stronger. But doesnt really get in the way too much. Liked the carbonation in this lively and light. Maybe a tad too much alcohol showing in the end. Good beer..as usual from PM. Friday, November 18, 2016
seehaferb23	2.9 Plough Monday Organic Brown Ale Tasted by Cannery Row Beer Club out of a wine bottle of beer. Between $6 or $7 on sale price from Whole Foods. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Tuesday, November 8, 2016
bpreo	4.7 Plough Monday Imperial Breakfast Porter At over 9% alcohol, and at a good price, there was no way I would pass up this Imperial Porter. Wednesday, October 12, 2016
Reid	4 Plough Monday Imperial Breakfast Porter 750ml bottle from Lifesource in Salem Oregon. This is now Organic and 10% alc, Batch #3. Pours the darkest of browns with a small lighter tan head. Aromas mainly of medium roast fresh ground coffee and 70% cacao chocolate bars Dome slight ash and woodiness..but nice. Smooth tasting..chocolate, coffee , cream and toast. Alcohol is there but barely noticed. Nice mouth feel its thick but not as thick as most of the style which adds to the drink-ability. Very nice porter. Friday, October 7, 2016
OldMrCrow	3.4 Plough Monday Imperial India Pale Ale Bottle. From Last Drop maybe? I don’t remember. Big aggressive IIPA pressing into barleywine territory. I don’t often drink beers like this but I’m actually kind of enjoying this one. Huge amounts of malt, hops already tasting a bit aged, unfortunately. Earthy, tasty. Alcohol reasonably subdued (I would have thought 8.5% not 9.7%). Not a bad deal at six bucks. I’d try their beers in styles I like a bit more. Thursday, September 29, 2016
brianprentiss	4.1 Plough Monday Imperial India Pale Ale From the bottle and label design to the aftertaste I’m impressed with this one. You can definitely taste the alcohol in this one, but it’s not overbearing. Very nicely balanced. Tuesday, September 20, 2016
Reid	3.6 Plough Monday Organic Oatmeal Amber Ale 750 ml bottle bought from Lifesource in Salem OR. $6.99 Pours a deep amber colour with the most gorgeous thick, undying cream coloured head. Oddly very subdued aroma even when a hole is blown in the head..mostly caramel and oats. Taste is of chocolate, cream, caramels and cocoa. Nice.Few hops in the end. Mouth feel is very nice smooth maybe a little thin and carbonation medium. A nice amber..one on the maltier side. Sunday, September 18, 2016
douglas88	3.5 Plough Monday Organic Oatmeal Amber Ale 750 ml bottle. Listed as Oatmeal Organic Amber Ale, no Imperial in the name. 6.3%. Hmm. New listing? Hard to say, but hard to imagine that they make a 7.7 and 6.3% version. Anyway, I?ll check. Pours a clear reddish color with a large white head. A light husky grainy nose. Sweet caramel, toast, some floral elements, clear oats. Sweet. OK. Would be good on cask I suspect. Sunday, September 18, 2016
Capa	3.8 Plough Monday Imperial Breakfast Porter Batch #4. Very dark pour with a beige head. Aroma is sweet vanilla, faint coffee bean, caramel, brown sugar. Very sweet aroma. Full bodied. Flavor loads of sweet vanilla, sweet bread malt, light brown sugar. Finish is mostly syrupy sweet with a touch of bitterness. I wish it followed closer to the aroma. A very nice, but very sweet, imperial porter. (#2700) Thursday, September 15, 2016
Reid	4 Plough Monday Organic Summer Stout 750 ml bottle from Lifesource natural grocers in Salem OR $5.99 Darkest mahogany brown ale..with amber aspects held to the light. Small creamy tan coloured head. Aromas of brown sugar, molasses, cream and ash. Hints of dark chocolate and Italian coffee.very nice. Taste is all of the aroma plus more cocoa,,sweet hot chocolate style. Excellent Mouth feel is really good in that it is not heavy as one would expect giving this tasty beer a light drinkable feel. I am very impressed with this beer..it is indeed a summer stout..complex yet drinkable. I think I m falling in love with this small brewery..they make good beers at good prices..and not the usual Oregon hopped out IPA. Keep doing what you are doing guys! Sunday, August 21, 2016

A work of art to behold. Aroma or caramel malts with a bit of demerara sugar cane, also a slight lactic/milky aspect to the smell. Taste is very balanced..milk chocolate, nuts, brown sugar and raisin bread. Good smooth soft mouth feel yet a nice ending drying bitter chocolate in the end, .Very complex ale for the style..contradiction soft yet complex. I really like what this brewer does.

Taste the same as the aroma..very rich..like drinking caramel covered in dark chocolate with mint aspects.

luttonm	3.7 Plough Monday Organic India Pale Ale Draft at Uber, Seattle. Batch #2 (originally brewed as a one-off, the brewer told me that they happened in to more of the hops so brewed it again). Clean, cool gold, white creamy head. Malty, wheaty amber aroma. Grassy hops. Quite balanced and tasty. Robust backbone. Round, earthy, tropical hops. Interesting, and unique profile. Pretty delicious. Friday, March 11, 2016
Reid	3.7 Plough Monday Organic India Pale Ale 750 ml bottle purchased from Lifesource natural grocers in Salem OR $6.99 Pours an ever so slightly hazy golden colour..with a nice sized bubbly white head..leaves great lace Very fresh sharp hoppy aromas, mainly floral with a touch of grass..small bit of lemon peel..very nice really. Taste is hoppy fizzy but well balanced..maybe too balanced for a typical American IPA..by the biscuity malts. This is nice though and what used to be called English IPA back in the day. Mouth feel excellent and very smooth..small carbonation bubbles caress the tongue. THis is a nice bottle conditioned ? ale..if your looking for a hop bomb..this is not it..but a mild hop kick and great palate..this is your beer. Friday, February 26, 2016

trevor211	3.2 Plough Monday Organic Oatmeal Amber Ale On tap at Uber. Hazy orange. Smells like a bowl of cereal. A sticky bowl of cereal. Oats come through a little more in the flavor. Dries out toward the end. Residual sugar... wort-like flavor. Maybe not fully attenuated? Not bad. But needs a bit of work. Thursday, August 6, 2015
luttonm	3.4 Plough Monday Organic Oatmeal Amber Ale Draft at Uber in Seattle. Different name and abv from the ’original’ Oatmeal Amber. Clear, coppery brown, small gray foam. Big butterscotch aroma.

ACHops	3.3 Plough Monday Bitter Pale Ale On tap @ Uber for their debut. Pours bright orange copper with medium white head. Aroma is sweet oaky caramel malt with just a hint of hops on the back. Taste is dry sweet semi-dark roasty oaky malt and sharply bitter hops on the finish. Light notes of dark citrus, pine, and coriander. Malt is solid here, hops need a bit more positive flavor though. Still, solid effort here. Sunday, April 5, 2015
luttonm	3.6 Plough Monday Imperial Breakfast Porter Draft at Uber, Seattle. Hazy, darkest brown. Cream head. Lots of coffee, and smoky sweet grain up front. Ruddy, nice flavors but could use some refinement and definition. Tasty. Friday, March 13, 2015

trevor211	3.8 Plough Monday Double IPA Sampled at Seattle International Beer Fest 2014 (delayed rate). One of the more refreshing double IPAs I’ve ever had. Very crisply and sharply bitter, without a whole lot of malt backing it up. This is a true Northwest DIPA if I’ve ever had one. Really good stuff. Wednesday, December 3, 2014
andrewje41	2 Plough Monday Chinook Pale Ale Draft pour at uber tavern. Pours a heavy copper color with a ton of straw and bitter hops on the aroma. Intense and off putting. Long story short with this beer, I didn’t really like it. Just really piney and super bitter. Didn’t drink easy for me. Hope to try more from these guys soon, but for me this one was a miss. Friday, October 10, 2014
maxwelldeux	3.3 Plough Monday Imperial India Pale Ale Draught. Pours a clear dark amber color with a very small white head on there. Nose is bready with some slight grass, and just a bit underwhelming. Taste is slightly bitter and moderately fresh, and some slight floral notes coming through. Sunday, September 28, 2014
Salmoniform	2.9 Plough Monday Chinook Pale Ale Poured from tap to glass. Clear golden hue with creamy white head that dissipated to a ring. Aroma is Copenhagen chew, straw, pine. Mouthfeel is nice with a medium light body and zesty carbonation. Taste is dry sweetness followed by a nice hop bitterness that extends through the finish. Overall this is a decent brew but I can’t get past the Copenhagen tobacco aroma. Wednesday, September 24, 2014
Salmoniform	4 Plough Monday Basil Pale Poured from tap to glass. Golden hue with fizzy white head that held a ring. Aroma is straw, sweet basil, grassy, melon. Mouthfeel is great with a medium light body and crisp carbonation. Taste is dry sweetness followed by a nice bitterness and a clean finish. Overall this beer is really nice with a big basil presence but not overkill. I really enjoyed it. Tuesday, September 9, 2014
