Pours clear, very dark brown; almost opaque. Quickly dissipating tan head. Sweet malt aroma. The flavor is sweet, caramel and burnt toffee. Some roast malt bitterness. Nice brew.

Black pour with a tall, mocha head. Aroma of cocoa powder. The flavor follows the aroma. A bit of sweetness but not overly so, very little bitterness. A bit thin but otherwise a nice beer.

Slightly hazy yellow-gold with a small white head. Grain, light fruit aroma. Flavour is grassy, fruited, sweet...with a slight citric tartness. Light and refreshing.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with small off white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is wheat grass and light hop. Thin mouthfeel with a strong grain malt and light earthy hop. Decent

Sample at the Memorial Day Deck Beers tasting on 05/27/2013: Clear copper color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops and grainy malt. Light to medium body with flavors of peppery hops and bready malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a spiced rye hops aftertaste. Decent overall.
