Thanks to JoeMcPhee for sharing - dark brown beer, with a nice ring of lace - smells hoppy/leafy, with a little coffee and cocoa underneath - quite hoppy, with some notes of tobacco behind it - a little bit of berry fruitiness in the background, and some light sweet cream flavor - a lot of chocolate starts to come through as it warms, as does some warming alcohol - a pretty nice stout.

Hazy amber. Caramel and smoke nose. Big smokey taste, light nuts, and hints of rye bread. There’s a moderate creaminess in the body which I find distracting but otherwise it’s decent.

Slightly hazy straw colour. Bready, slightly grainy malts, with heavy resiny, mossy, herbaceous German hops. Saaz...maybe old Saaz or something. Bitter and Teutonic with a heavy bready note as in the Bavarian tradition. Burly and raw for the style but I like sort of charm in a lager.

Looks beautiful - jet black, loose tan head. Aroma is rich black malts, lots of grapefruit hops...reminiscent of St A. Sweetish flavour, but again with lots of citrusy hops, along with silky chocolate, light Vietnamese coffee. Gets a bit thin as it warms, but that’s about the only fault I could find. A lot like St A, only "foreign"-strength and obviously not made with Ringwood.

Slightly hazy amber. Slightly floral, grassy hop aroma fights through a rather cold serving temp...and dude I tried to let it warm. Somewhat tannic, grainy malt character with an overlaid woody hoppiness. Dry, slightly barny finish.
