Sampled from the tap at GTMW 2015. Pours a near clear deep amber with a slight orange hue and a bubbly tan head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma is very bread and biscuit forward with a sweetness underlying. Flavor has a good amount of bread and biscuit notes with a bit of sweetness in the finish.

Dark brown pour without much head. Some light peat malt. Not a lot of character here other than a lightly interesting malt. Tap at brewpub. Tap at Churchkey.

Pour is a very dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is earthy malt and a bit of toffee. Flavor is damn good. Lots of earthy chewy malt with some coffee and dry bakers chocolate. Finish is a more stout like with a decent char malt. This is my new fav beer from this brewer. Those English malts shine here making you think you were in a pub in the English countryside.

Pour is a black with an average tan head. Aroma is plenty of roasted malt and maybe some cocoa power. Flavor is a rich chocolate malt with just enough char and roasted malt to let you know what they were going for. Not heavy or thick so even those not used to this style may find it enjoyable.
