With Tryanuary 2019 in the history books, here’s a gallery of photos from those I shared on Instagram and Twitter…

Molasses aromas Black plum, brown bread flavors Caramel aromas Red fruits & caramel flavors Tasting the alcohol! Chicory aromas and flavors plus dark chocolate on the palate Also, ashy aftertaste
Passion fruits on nose & palate With grapfruit peel & a pleasant hoppiness Malty biscuits & spent grain aromas White plums & depth on the palate The bitters run smoothl Mint develops on the nose with supporting chocolate Flavors carry the spice & herbal note over a hint of sweetness—but not quite a dessert beer
Hops on Rye, and the Brutus Brut IPA Dark green limes Not much aroma Dark golden color, a little opaque, low head Grapefruit & pine on the nose Grapefruit peel on the palate w a caramel undertone
Plush aromas, almost like perfume Cereals on the palate, Frosted Flakes plus hint of cloves Funk on the nose like wet leather or overstained wood Roasty & raisin flavors Round malts on the nose Easy drinking, a bit of red fruit
Biscuity nose Easy drinking palate, a bit sour Dipping your nose into a bottle of molasses Flavors go more towards darkcane syrup Low head, deep opaque brown Even wash of citrus & florals Smoothed out both in nose and palate; white plum fruits Zest in flavors, with a bit of an edge
Red fruits & cereals on the nose Full bodied w dried mango, plums on the palate & a bitter streak Moderate finish Roasted plum, coffee aromas Molasses, dark roast coffee, touch of mint on the palate Coriander seed aromas Intriguing flavors of coriander with a salty streak
Berliner weisse… Fresh squeezed passion fruit Light golden, mostly clear Florals and stone fruits on nose and palate Barleywine; Cocoa cracker & red candy aromas Cocoa nibs & bitter palate Strange, keeps evolving, Necco licorice wafer
Coffee Stout; Robusta coffee aromas Mocha flavors Creamy deep opaque brown Sassafras and molasses nose And onto the palate Alcohol is well integrated Smells of coffee and iron, then vanilla stewed plums Cardboard bitters on the palate with molasses and malt running through the back
Roasted malt & burnt caramel aromas Nutty taste Sediment, as one would expect Dark chestnut brown Creamy head Raisins on the nose Maple, berry syrup, pecans on the palate
