Slight haze, and a pale amber…darker than this style would normally be. Has a kit brew nose, and is absolute apple sauce on the palate. I mean that’s what I taste. It’s got a light sourness but yeah, this one got way away from them. It’s not bad, because apple isn’t the worst flavour in the world, but this needs a pork chop not a pint glass.

Very nice big foam on a medium gold body, stormy carbonation. Very soft citrus hop aroma, too faint. Taste is an odd meld of cloying orange, bitter pine, herbal oils. Odd aftertaste. Seems clean but this mix of flavours and textures isn't doing it for me.

Pours a thick cloudy brownish copper body and some okay foam. Aroma is lots of chocolate syrup, as could be expected maybe, but nothing else. Taste is nice fruity biscuit, heavy alcohol is warming but not overbearing, some orange zest. Ends with a biscuit aftertaste, full and smooth. A boozy alcohol bomb with no charm, but drinkable.

Poured from the tap. Clear gold with small white head. Corn malt and bread malt with a feint hint of generic hops.

Of course Grond being the great hammer of the ancients whom would become Sauron, and the other Elders, in Middle Earth; not that anyone was noticing. Though I did notice her, it was really a hard sell to my hormones though, and I'd have to wonder if it would be worth the effort. Conquest in its entire essence? Is that all that has meaning? I really think one needs to enjoy at least the mechanical part to make it all worthwhile. Hey, that's just me. This is a medium clear coppery mess with foam that wrote home on the plane and is gone before one noticed it even left. Oh, a nice piney and earthy malty affair on the nose with huge caramel notes, sharp sugar, all sorts of syrup, and not bad at all quite Ann Frankly. Taste is a very malty affair of syrup and some chewy hops, endless sweetness, caramel for days. Ends smooth though carbonation is long forgotten. Hey, ten percent here is working very well and this lands more like a floral tarred feather than any sort of thud. In the realm of hoppy beasts like this, you could do a lot worse.

Nice clear orangey copper body and some good foam. The aroma is a soft cherry, melded with honey and crackery malt, not too intrusive but distinctive nonetheless. Taste is more malt and honey with just a bit of cherry to help round it out. In fact it's nice but is hard to advertise because of its subtlety. A decent enough honey ale, but no one should drink this expecting cherries.

Pours a nice deep purple with okay beige foam. Plum and biscuit aroma, soft citrus. Taste is heavy chewy molasses, bitter and licorice notes. Ends full with no sign of the abv. Heavy but still skilfull, a good nightcap.

Medium clearish gold and mediocre foam. Okay hops, slightly tropical, orange zest hints. Taste is okay sweet hops, citrus, slight pine. Good carbonation but otherwise a little thin. Sessionable, adequate, could be more.

One of their experimental brews on tap at the brewery. Darkish cloudy brown and kind of weak foam. Lots of sweet brown sugar on the nose, vague toffee and biscuit. Taste is fusel alcohol, soft brown sugar, ends full but slightly cloying. Keep trying folks, this dunkel ain't a keeper.

Dark enough brown body and okay nitro foam. Good coffee aroma, slightly sweet, definitely macro. Taste is sweet coffee, slight chocolate, finishes nitro smooth and chewy. Delivers well, a little simple, but no one will notice.
