Tap at the Royston Hotel, Melbourne. Poured a clear medium reddish brown with a thin broken off white head. The aroma is roasty malt, red berry fruit, light coffee notes. The flavour is moderate sweet with a dry roasty, smoky, fruity, liqourice, raisin, light coffee, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Initially hard to tell if this was trying to be a schwarzbier or dunkel, as IPA hoppiness fell short of the mark. Not much of a head on this, looks like motor oil in the glass, but nice roast malt in the taste saved the day.

Decent stout, not outstanding, but well rounded. Pours out black with small head, standard roast grain aromas and tastes. Fairly smooth and slick without being too bitter.

This served as a nice substitute for wine at a lamb dinner, light on the palate and complimenting the roast meat and veg. Nice crisp apple aromas and flavors, no tartness, smooth and drinkable.

Aroma kicks off with some nice bready aroma, mildly hazy golden body with a small creamy head. Taste brings more crackers, bread, sourdough tastes. Mildly sweet, but abrupt finish.

very bready, not so crisp, but solid pilsener throughout. Clear golden body with fine tightly beaded head. Malty white bread aroma, smooth grainy flavor. Nice finish.

Nice caramel aroma falls flat at first taste, bland, watery and uninteresting. Lively carbonation but no head. Amber body, sticky metallic finish.

Pours black with fast disappearing airy head. Light aroma of molasses and dark malts. Taste brings in some anise and licorice. Light body, despite the syrupy tastes, licorice sweetness on the finish.
