Black pour, with a huge mocha head. The thick roasted aroma is great, notes of coffee, cocoa, and touches of soy. The mouthfeel is great, a touch thick from the oatmeal, and the carb is perfect. the finish is again, very rich and intense with the roasted malts. More coffee, even espresso. Bitter cocoa, and soy. Great stout.

Hazy redish/pink pour with an off white head. Aroma of fresh strawberries. Its subtle, and a little faint, but its not fake, its very real, and quite nice. The mouth feel is solid, and the carb is also perfect. the finish is refreshing, and a great balance of tart and sweet. A lovely fresh strawberry juice finish, a spectacular summer beer.

Very dark brown pour, beige head. Nutty, roasty aroma, light uk hops, and some grass. The roasted notes were quite prevalent and i though that was odd. The finish was thin and watery, with some light grassy notes and more roast. The uk hops just died off.

dark murky brown pour, with no head.
aroma of flowers, chamomile, juniper, and an abundance of floral herbs. very low carb, and a medium mouth feel. Finish is extremely floral, with a light almost skunky juniper kick in the end. interesting, but hard to finish a whole pint.
