Pale golden color. Frothy white head. Very dry nose with cereal malt and grassy notes. Firm aggressive bitterness with slightly waxiness on the younger which is odd. The palate is a touch sweeter than I would expect but overall still great

Romantic village imperial stout 12% deep cola brown with Ruby highlights and beige foam. Roasty umami aroma, black licorice and dark burnt brown sugar. Full bodied, rich and satisfying. This was on point and hid the high abv well.

(On tap) Clear amber, no head. Subtle vinous aroma. Lignt body with fine carbonation. Taste is tart and vinous. Unusual.

this is a reminder of their bw from years ago. Deep amber color, tons of cherries, apples crumble, pea cans,spice, semi-sweet with low medium bitterness. Very English . Abv well hidden but warming finish. Smooth and rounded. Excellent

medium amber brown color. Smells nice at first with some Yuzu and citrus notes but palate is over carbonated, a touch of dms and too dry makes this not very good

light medium amber color. Really nice cherries and apricot in the nose. Malt forward. Medium bitterness, clean, nice enough hop character but I can’t get excited about the beer.
