12oz bottle. 3 days old. Wow. This really exceeds my expectations. Thick, unfiltered yellow-tan body. Steady, bright, white head. Juicy tropical citrus aroma, some rind, mostly mellow tropical fruit. Really drinks just as solid as anything I’ve had in the style. Excellent stuff.

It’s a nice spicy doppelbock, but could use a little more carbonation. Slightly boozy finish.

Aroma’s nice, roasty, bit a malt. Flavor’s on the sweet side, slight bitterness, good finish. Straightforward porter.

Bottle. Black coffee, dark chocolate malt, and hay aroma. Black with large brown head. Lightly sweet dark chocolate malt, and moderately bitter coffee bean/light hay flavor. Nice body and balance. Good black coffee flavor.

From a cask. Very heavy chocolate, yet I works well, same with the bourbon. Good body. Long finish. Rich, fairly smooth.

Very good traditional style barleywine. Aroma’s malty, toffee, hint of yeast. Flavor’s like nose, bittersweet and fairly easy drinking. Strength shows later. Good stuff.

Outstanding fresh hop Aroma with just the right amount of malt to back it up. It’s a bit light in body though. Also a bit light in strength for an IPA. Very drinkable and good finish.

Aroma is Coco, dark malt, and roast. flavor is similar to knows, starts out a little on that sweet side and then finishes a little on the dry side. Body’s both chalky and silky with ok carbonation. Decent finish.

It’s pretty good but not great. Appearance is a huge thick creamy fairly long lasting off wife head with plenty of lace and a clear medium Amber color. Aroma is fragrant fresh citric hops and some malt. But flavor goes more towards resinous. Very drinkable; nice finish.
