6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Pour is a almost black with a large tan head. Aroma is an ok roasty malt with some bitterness. Flavor is more chocolate malt with an intense bitterness. A little caramel is left on the tongue after the swallow. OK porter. Decent roasted malt and chocolate bit a big bitterness. It was missing a little omph to other versions of this style.

Pour is a clear bright bronze with a large white head. Aroma is a biscuit malt with some honey sweetness. Flavor is pretty much the same some bready biscuit malt with some honey malt sweetness hanging around the edge. Decent malt forward lager beer.

Pint can sent by Church Street for my comment. Pours out very malty-smelling, as expected, with caramel roasts, or as they would say on the Isles, toffee roast. A warm and friendly brown with a little bit of haze. The foam remains pretty stable at the top. and I can already note some of the earthiness of the British hops. The taste is similarly sweet, like a toffee, but not overly so. There is plenty of that English hop to keep it in check. The mouthfeel is slightly lighter than one would expect for a 7% abv beer. So it feels as though I can go on with the rest of my day once dinner is cooked and eaten.

16 oz. can, sent my Church Street for comment. This pours almost solid black, with a stiff, parfait-like head. Smell has a little more roast than other schwarzes I've had. By the time I start writing about this, the foam has dwindled to the same scrum of suds as on many 5% lager beers. The taste is roastier, too. Still dry enough to count as a lager instead of a stout. It finishes off like a mild coffee, with a soda pop effervescence. Not too filling, it still lands like a regular beer.

16 oz. can sent by Church Street for comment. A hazy, orange juice like pour, under a thick but fizzy head. Smell does offer some tangerine to the nose. Citrus makes the vanilla stay in the background, but there it does. The taste is indeed like a dreamsicle. Tangerine instead of orange gives it a juicier flavor. Only paring the score a bit because it's pretty sweet, but that's the risk with a cream ale base. Once finished, I can lick my lips and taste orange juice, so it serves its purpose.

Sampled from the tap at Gillerson’s. Pours a slightly hazy yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has citrus rind and a bit of sweet orange with a hint of resin and sweet grains backing. Flavor has bitter citrus and bitter rind with a bit of sweet grains underlying.

16 oz can purchased as a single at the Lukas Liquor Superstore - Martin City - in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is an opaque brown black with a ½ inch khaki head that crackles and falls. The aroma is roast and caramel malt, some grass. The taste is the coffee roast up front, faint smoke, pine, finishes with some soft ash and mineral. The palate is light bodied, active carbonation and the ash roast mineral finish - bone dry.

Pour is a bright orange with a large white head. Aroma has some banana and clove with a big orange peel. Flavor is pretty much the same with a minor banana and clove with some sweet orange finish. This was fine. A bit sweet but other than that it's pretty spot on for the style.
