On tap at Carson's, pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of citrus, with vanilla, and balsamic. Flavour is just fucked up, with a strange mix of balsamic, Worcestershire sauce, vomit and light citrus. Tart, acetic and just incoherent. Undrinkable.

On tap at Carson's, pours a deep dark amber red with a small beige head. Aroma brings out light coconut and a hint of lactose. Flavour brings out the coconut much more, with little else. Surprising that this is a stout, given the dark red colour and lack of body. It's pleasant enough, just simple and lacking depth.

On tap at Carson's, pours a clear copper amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out tart red berries upfront, with light balsamic and some wood. Flavour is very woody, with lots of tart berries, balsamic notes and Worcestershire sauce. Acetic and tart, but little depth. It's alright.

On tap at Carson's, pours a clear copper amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out light banana notes and toasted malt. Flavour is loaded with banana, leaving little else detectable. Probably the first banana beer I haven't hated, but I still can't say I like it. That flavour just doesn't work in beer.

On tap at Carson's, pours a hazy golden with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out light piney hops and dry biscuity malt. Flavour is very bitter and metallic, with stale notes, unpleasant bitter hops and metallic character. This is really unpleasant - needs total rejigging.

On tap at Carson's, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma is harsh, with intense bittering hops and caramel bready malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with abrasive resinous hops and caramel bready malt. Harsh palate, with poor balance and all sorts of jagged notes. Not feeling this.

On tap at Carson's, pours a hazy golden with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of tropical juicy fruit, with a touch of ginger. Flavour is much duller, with dry tropical fruits and light ginger. Muffled and lacking character. Inoffensive, but this isn't good.

On tap at Carson's, pours a clear copper brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out earthy coffee notes and toasted nuts, with light caramel sweetness. Flavour is quite dry, with earthy dry coffee upfront, and dry bready malt underneath. Nice infusion of coffee, but this is rather dull and flat. Okay.

On tap at Carson's, pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Aroma brings out piney hops and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is exceptionally bitter and somewhat metallic. There isn't much flavour from the hops, just intense and unpleasant bitterness and metallic character. Not good.
