Can, many thanks FinnIckler. Hazy amber color with eggshell head. Aroma is chocolate, molasses. Taste is chocolate, lacto, caramel. Medium carbonation. Quite drinkable, surprisingly good!

Can. Pours dark brown with a soft head. Aroma is barrel and booze, vanilla, chocolate, light acetone. Body is medium, strongly roasted, coffee and chocolate, liquorice, a lot lighter and simpler than the Alesmith Wee Heavy. Good!

Dark brown with little beige head. Aroma is coffee, fresh brewed coffee. No chocolate, not very deep. Taste is sweet caramel at first (brown sugar maybe) with sudden coffee bitterness later. Very balanced. Fuck yeah! All styles!

Not too much smoke in the nose, to which I say thank goodness this time around. Instead, just a hint of peat under a light nose of cherry leather. Opaque redish brown in a small goblet. Taste is a bit more malty and almost creamier than almost any Scottish style brew I’ve had. Thick mouthfeel. With a nearly chewy texture. Dark dried cherry predominates, a bit of treacle sweetness, with just a hint of English hop. I keep looking for lighter sumer beer specials this June, but these wonderful heavy brews keep turning up.
