Market Cross Porter:
Not nitrous poured, but the head is foamy and fat. Sweet roasted malts and hops evident in the aroma. Flavor provides exactly that, although a bit more bitterness is present then expected. Malts and hops are well-balanced. Unfortunately, the body is severely watery and very thin in the mouth. With a little viscosity this could be a very good porter. Hops start to dominate as the beer warms, throwing it out of balance. Beer is very similar to Black Chip Porter at Main Street Station's 777 Brewery in Las Vegas. 8.1
Ole Yeller IPA:
Nitro poured - it took about 10 minutes for the foam to settle down enough to serve the beer. Nice copper color. Hop overload - needs more malt to balance the hops. The body is rather thin. Also, the beer doesn't warm up all that well. They tried to make a very assertive beer, but to do that well, you need more than just hops. 7.7
