- Greg C. is drinking a London Porter by Riverhead Brewing Company at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Roast - almost burnt - malt. Notes of dark roast coffee and cocoa husks. Needs a bit more body but generally well made.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hammer of Sucellus by Humalove Brewing at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Smells old & oxidized. Flavour is short and strongly bitter. Not much subtlety or complexity. Not to my taste. Ah well.
- Greg C. is drinking a Commissar by Unfiltered Brewing at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Some age on this, but held up well. Malty, boozy, rum & dark sugar. Warm finish, hit of bitterness. Rough but great.
- Greg C. is drinking a Ladder To the Moon by Henderson Brewing Co at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Excellent melding of saison, herbs & barrel. Works so much better than it should. Very impressed!
- Greg C. is drinking an UVB-76 Mikhail by Wellington Brewery at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. A step above its siblings. The spices work so well with the cocoa & vanilla notes. Absolutely fantastic.
