Old Growth
Tree House Brewing Company

16oz can into a pint glass. Canned 9/1/22, so 7 months old. Brewer describes it as a Kentucky Common.

Beautiful clear deep auburn body, aroma is a bit off. Similar to an English dark mild, with a sweet smoky roast.

 

Dark looking when poured from the can. It looks a bit like cola. In the glass it has more of an amber color. When held up to the light, the amber really shows up in the glass. The head is off white, 2 finger, and quite frothy looking. Decent retention, and some great lacing on the glass.
The aroma isn't too strong, but is very malty. I get some grain, and biscuit. Faintest hint of hops shows up in this beer also.
The flavor is malty, grain, biscuit. I get a licorice flavor that hits more toward the back. Slightly roasted flavor.
Body is lighter, but not watery feeling in the least.
Delicious, and a pleasure to try.

 

 

 

Canned September of 2022. Pours a bright light reddish-brown with excellent clarity and a solid amount of head that displayed good retention. Overall, good looking beer. Nose is mostly sweet grains / corn. Taste largely follows, but with a little more bite than the nose. Some faint malty flavors on the finish, and tasted blind I might have thought there was some bourbon barrel, even though that's not the case. Light and easy going down. Overall, a little more bite from the hops than I would have preferred, but still very easy drinking.

damn good. draft at Deerfield location

A dark, very lager-like ale with lightly roasty and caramely malt flavors and a fairly substantial, earthy hop presence. Very dry, bitter, and crisp. A really fantastic, rustic brew that makes me want to find more in this style.

4 months old. Can to snifter.

L: Pours a muddy dark brown with a foamy light brown head that dissipates rather quickly and leaves just a bit of lacing. No floaters.

S: Brown sugar, caramel and coffee. Malty, bready and slightly sweet.

T: A malty, bready and slightly sweet body followed by an intense bitterness.

F: Slightly creamy, yet highly crushable. Medium carbonation.

O: Solid beer. Not too flavorful but very nicely drinkable. Interesting style I've never heard of before, but would definitely drink again.

 

16 oz can

pours a clear dark amber color, thick creamy off-white colored head. great head retention. Aroma is sweet and grainy, a little toasty, a little cracked corn, some earthy malts. similar taste, on the sweeter side, and a long finish. thin to medium bodied. overall it's easy drinking

 

 

 

 

 

Bartender achieved a really perfect pour in (my new) Tubinger mug, looks amazing. Deep orange body and great ivory head. Lots of lacing, no distinct rings.

Earthy, malty aroma. I'd probably get more if I let it warm up some. Goes nicely with this fireplace :)

Taste: again, getting more as it warms. At first it was a delicious refreshing malty beer, pleasantly lighter than most of the Marzens I've been drinking lately. The Cluster hops are getting more of a word in later on, also the distinctive corn sweetness on the swallow.

Feel: substantial but not overdone, mild carbonation.

Overall: a very satisfying quaff, probably with more to reveal on a second or third try

 

Pours clear, copper in color with one inch head. Taste is big corn, grain, cola, and a touch of barrel. Light bodied, slightly sweet, moderate carbonation. Makes for a lovely lager. Nice sweet grain, very well done. Does not drink like a steam beer.
