This was the first of a short-lived effort at cataloging my tasting notes using paper and pencil. It was also my first attempt at recording my thoughts about the pour, nose and taste of beer. I’m hoping that with more experience, I’ll be a shade more creative going forwards!
Disclaimer: I'm not an artist and there will be some shockingly poor logo sketches in this series! I just wanted to mention this before someone else did!
