Seasonal: Station Bitter
In a mall-type environment. Business is booming!
Stout: Fat, creamy head. Probably pumped through a nitrous pump. Almost black in color. Aroma is faintly malty - is hard to discern through the foam! Two sips and still only tasting the head. It is on the bitter side. As advertised, malt and hops are both in the flavor - seemingly the two flavors never meet. Initial taste is all malt - finish is all hops. Not much happens in the middle. A difinite bitter aftertaste, as in the English style. 7.7
Something Red: Pleasant hoppy aroma. A moderate head with some staying power. The initial taste is nicely balanced - the hops take over and mug the malt in the finish. On certain swallows the hops can leave an unpleasant aftertaste in the mouth. The beer definitely has a lot of flavor, but the balance is off. Also, body is a bit on the thin side (not badly). 8.0
A small disappointment: We were told of 5 available beers, then saw a sampler tray of 6. The waitress mentioned the "cask conditioned" ale - like the scotch ale mentioned in Barleycorn.
