A black beer with a chocolate brown head. The sweet with strong notes of alcohol and bourbon, but also raisins and wood mixes in. The flavor is very sweet with notes of overripe fruits and bourbon as well as lesser notes of chocolate and wood. The end is slightly bitter with notes of chocolate. On my tastebuds this beer is closer to a Barley Wine than a Baltic Porter - but it is still a very nice brew.

A dark amber beer with no head. The aroma is sweet grassy, while the flavor is very hoppy and grassy - I get the notion that the hops used are very fresh, or is the the soul use of Brewers Gold? The end is nicely bitter - though not very bitter, and not as bitter as I had expected from the style.

Very light pale ale. Light aromas of fruit and flowers. Almost no head, light orange color. Flavor is lightly bitter, some bread, and more flowers. Smooth but thin. Easy to drink.

Bottle Pours a very dark black with small tan head and lots of fine sheeting lacing. Drk roast and molassas aroma with some slight purple grapes. Very dark roasted slightly charcoal taste with hints of coffee. Moderate and very fine carbonation and a very smooth thick almost oily feel. Bitter citrus peal hoppiness. A strong brew that has a nice feel.

Bottle Pours a deep golden amber with a hefty, dense light tan head. Lots of lasting sticky lacing. Mild fairly sweet malts are on the nose with subtle hops. No real sharp citrus or piney notes. Flavors are a sweet bready malt flavor. Slightlly woody with very little hops again. Very mild bitterness at the end. Feel is very smoth and a littel heavy. Quite soft on the carbonation."quaffable but far from inspiring"

A clear amber beer with a small off-white head. The aroma is sweet and very hoppy, but also with some off-notes like detergent. The flavor is sweet hoppy with notes of prunes and loads of hay, leading to a dry hoppy end.

Bottle Pours a clear light amber. Massive white foamy creamy head. Modest piney sweet hops aroma. Expected a more robust punch in this dept. Flavor has more of that bite i was loking for. Sweet light maltiness and fairly soft carbonation. Lots a sharp bittter aftertaste. Like that white stuff under the grapefruit skin.

Bottle Pours a clear dark copper color. Very small tan head and thin lacing. Plenty of rich malty woody flavors balanced fairly well by moderate citrusy hops. Fairly acidic bitter notes as well. Feel is fairly heavy and rich. Lingering woody aftertaste and some hops bitterness.

Bottle Pours a deep dark mahogany with a dense light tan head. Rich heavy dark pitted fruit aromas Cherry, plum, apples. Complex. Flavors are dark, woody notes of raisons and a fairly strong alchol taste. Bitterness at the end is more of a tannin sharpness than typical hops. A hefty brew with a full smooth feel.
