4 Pines Brewing Company - Oaked Baltic Porter


There is a strong oak aroma with a black/red appearance.  I get a sweet chocolate with a coffee hit.  The is a subtle mustiness to it that is almost fizzy or zesty.  There's quite a bit going on here.

6/10

4 Pines Brewing Company - West Coast Red Rye IPA

Fresh creamy aroma with a dark red/brown appearance.  Muted berry flavour.  The mouth feel is waxy but clean.  This is a fresh beer that has a fullness and roundness I wasn't expecting.
