12oz bottle. Murky, unfiltered amber-burgundy. Thin soda head with rising carbonation bubbles. Some banana clove and rich caramel in the aroma. A pretty decent example, full bodied, sugary, rich. Sugar rum soaked dark fruit, not so brutal in the alcohol presence but it is certainly ever-present. Big and rich, good, but not quite nailing it.

12oz bottle. I’d guess anyone slagging this beer has never tried to make a raspberry tripel before. Big sweet golden malt body, but an even bigger pronounced raspberry flavor. Unfiltered orange-pink-tan body, thin steady white head. The raspberry really balances out the big malt and maybe candi sugar. Brutal and full bodied, but also a pretty enjoyable venture.

12oz bottle. Well this is a unique one. Syrupy, oily chocolate syrup and a candy pumpkin sugariness. Remember those orange pumpkin candies? This tastes like they dumped those in the boil. Sweet and not really that refined of a venture, like a sub par Southern Tier offering. Too imperial.

12oz bottle. Cherry brown, unfiltered body. Thin, steady off-white head. Smoky sweet peat aroma. I was really quite scared when I read the two previous ratings, but actually this is quite tasty, an interesting merge of a big excessively smoked Scottish Ale and a Barleywine. There is something meaty about this one, sticky sweet charred BBQ tones. Drinkable for the ABV, clean enough. Unique, well worth a try if you enjoy smoke beers or barleywines.

Bottled. Black and it starts with a nice head. Low carbonation. Lightly roast flavor and some vegetable character. Grain and some alcohol. It isn’t very good, thin palate. "Stout brewed with artificial flavor?" I can’t believe that is the best they could do.

Bottle. Hazy amber body with a fizzy, off-white head, rapidly diminishing. Strong raw grain aroma with notes of herbs, earth and a hint of pine. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture and lively carbonation. Taste of husky grain, citrus, orange, tart apple. The sweetness dries out in the finish. Average.
