This stout is a hoppy, prickly, roasted imperial in the vein of Stone, but putting this on nitro is inspired, revealing a sweetness that is light and appealing. After the smoothness ends there’s quite a bitter finish though.

For a pastry stout this isn’t too sweet. Light fizz and a good balance between nutty caramel and roast. Tiny bit acidic on the end.

Classic, if young-tasting, barrel aged stout. Still quite sweet but less so than the mocha. Definitely thicker.

Thinnish, sugared coffee, strong alcohol. Nice aftertaste, but the uncomplicated flavor makes this less great.

Quite tart, it's dominated, almost to a pungent degree, by the flavor of lemon juice. Just a hint of lactose sugar on the finish, but it doesn't do too much to diversify the flavor. Tingles long after the sip. Would definitely have liked more "cake" here.

The same cloudy funk as the Muir Woods, but the hop presence is stronger and slightly more acrid. Malty - graham cracker/toffee sweetness on the finish.

Pine, lemon, a cloudy cereal funk. Barely bitter and very clean - liked this a lot!
