Sample at the source. Dark brown with hints of ruby at the edges and a thin off white head that slowly recedes. Rich bready caramel and dark fruit notes against hints of earthy citrus and pine. Very nice sipper.

Sample at the source. I'm sure I've had this before but now s the time to rate it. Deep auburn in color with a bubbly off white head that slowly recedes. Rich bready toasty maltiness with hints of fruit and a touch of smoke. Not too shabby.

Sample at the source. Dark brown black in color with a huge tan head that persists. Rich bready caramel and burnt sugary flavors against a hint of chocolate and roast and some earth and fruit to round it out. Well made desert stout but low enough in abv to quaff.

Sample at the source. Fairly clear light gold in color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly. Watermelon on the nose with faint bready malt. Clean and tasty but bordering on alcopop.

Pours a black colour with no visible highlights. The mocha-coloured head is nice, decent lasting, leaving patchy creamy lacing. The nose is full of dark fruits over the roasted malt base, so smelling this reminds me more of a porter. The taste has the same and hard to feel the oatmeal sweetness and smoothness. Maybe in the mouthfeel, some silkiness. Hints of smokiness and caramel do come out in the aromas after a while. A very decent dark fruity beer.
