16 oz. draft at the brewpub in the 4 Queens Casino - downtown Las Vegas. Pour is brown - caramel with no head. Aroma of faint nuttiness and caramel sweetness. Taste has some typical brown ale qualities, but is a bit thin for my tastes. Quaff able, but forgettable.

Dark brown chestnut beer, no head; Lactic character with lots of fruitiness and very estery. Flavourful, sweet and dark malts with perfumed and fruity notes. Slick MF, smooth and even voluptuous. Very good dubbel, even when style requirements would have it more bitter.

Hazy amber color. It has a good hop aroma, not too strong, fruity and resiny. Medium body, with a strong toffee flavor and extreme hopping, very resiny, aggressive, a bit fruity too. Very good.

Cloudy golden color; creamy head. Hop aroma, very grassy, wet field soil, manure. Good body strength, smooth mouthfeel, strong malt flavor (like a good Pils) overwhelmed by a powerful hopping, with a lot of hop oils and some resins. Extremely long and strong final. A bit strange but very good, midway between an American and English IPA: stronger hopping and body, but not so fruity. Fuggles touch too!

Golden color. Fruity hoppy aroma. Good body, malty, sweet, round, and a good amount of aromatic and resiny hops. Good.

Red to dark amber color; creamy head. Good mouthfeel, soft Ale with sweet malt, fruity yeast. Not a dubbel, not complex but enjoyable.
