Hardywood - Singel

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

Very yeast forward. I wish DC Brau's Citizen tasted like this. Nice enough. 

Hardywood - Sidamo Coffee Stout

Old review. Picture lost to the gods. 

Yet another coffee stout. Nothing says May or Summer quite like a coffee stout.

Fine enough. I wouldn't go out of my way to get it again. Doesn't have a super strong coffee stout, but there is some bitterness here. 

Hardywood Park - Bourbon Barrel Sidamo Coffee Stout

Even more old reviews. 

Second beer from my stop at the brewery.

This was surprisingly good after the disappointing Hoplar and average raspberry stout and "jalapeno" stout I had samples of at Meridian Pint.

I don't get a strong assertive coffee presence, but there's a great hint of vanilla and bourbon from the barrel aging. Good carbonation, nicely coats the tongue. The best "local" barrel aged beer I've had. (pretty sure its better than the Alewerks offerings but maybe not?)
