750ml bottle. dark copper pour, small beige head. biscuity malts, sweet fruit, minerals, herbal hops, and some light farmhouse funk. Solid mouth feel, quite lively carb. The finish is medium bitter, some spices, light alcohol, crisp, and quenching. Quite nice, some age would really bring everything together. interesting beer.

Sampled from a 750 ml corked bottle this beer poured a hazy brown color with a large beige head that left decent lacing. The aroma was toasty malts, bread crust, grain, vague fruit and molasses. The aroma was malt with strong bread crust, faint earthiness, grain, fruit, molasses and vague herbs. Long finish. Moderately full bodied.

Bottle: Poured a clear brown color ale with a medium size off-white foamy head with medium retention. Aroma of caramel malt is dominating which is not what I was expecting considering the style. Taste is dominated by loads of caramel malt with some light grainy notes and a dry finish. Body is light with good carbonation. Big time disappointment as this is not close to the style guideline which I would have expected considering the labels plus I really don’t care to drink this much caramel malt.

Bottle - Malty, spice and funky yeasty esters. Clearish copper with a creamy beige head. Sweet brown sugar, molasses, yeasty sweet fruity esters. A bit sweet for me.

This ale poured a deep amber colour with a big, fat light tan head. Scents include ripe fruit, coriander spice, cloves and light malt. First swig was quite carbonated with a very fizzy mouthfeel and flavours of cloves, coriander malt and wheat. Remindes me of a more malty version of a wheat beer. Finish is malty with a lingering clove/coriander flavor.
