Molasses in color with a small tan head. Roasted malts, milk chocolate, vanilla fill out the aroma. Solid, but could be stronger. Very tasty. Milky chocolate, lightly roasted malts, vanilla, and bittersweet coffee. Finishes with some sweetness and bitter maltiness. Medium, properly carbonated body. A very enjoyable porter. Different and delicious.

Light brown color, thick ivory white head. Very sweet milk chocolate, lactose, vanilla, caccao nose. The theme continues in the mouth and almost is cloying, but just stops short. Lasting caccao, sweet vanilla finish. Very different, but very tasty. This was like no porter I have tried before.

Gold with a touch of red and little head. Aroma was caramel, bubblegum, and sweet orange. Flavor was sweet, subtle hops, caramel and muted orange. Medium body. Meh, wasn’t bad, wasn’t great.

Light amber color. Thin head. Butter popcorn and caramel dominate nose. Over powering with the dyctyle through out with a big caramel finish. Pass, this is not my type of beer.

Draft: Pitch black color, frothy brown head, dark chocolate nose. Not too strong. Silky smooth mouth with dark chocolate, whisky, cherries and a touch of nuttiness. Palate is very smooth, but lacking roasted character I wanted. Smooth chocolatey finish.

Bottled. Clear golden, rich head. Dry rye bread aroma. Medium bodied with crisp dryness and gently soft mouthfeel. Plenty of grassy hops to accomapny the lovely maltiness makes this a top pilsener. Finishes with lingering pleasant bitterness.

Dark golden color. Rye, whisky, wheat in the nose. This is much more of a rye wheat than anything. Like spritzy body that has the esteriness of a hefe, but the spiciness of the rye really adds character and dries things out. Very thrist quenching. Love it.

Muddy amber color. Bubblegum, clovess and milk chocolate in nose. Banana split, clovey mouth that is relatively well balanced. Slightly tart, chocolately finish. Nice. Haven’t tried for ten years and wow, it’s even better than before. Really well balanced, malty and never sweet or cloying. Excellent

Light amber color. The nose is fairly muted. Mouth starts hoppy, then becomes rich, full bodied and malty with bready characteristics a touch of hoppy bitterness. Moderately hopped finish with a slightly caramel rich finish.

Cloudy reddish-chestnut colour. Big, flowery, estery aroma of roses, banana, plums and hints of bubblegum and pear. A lot of stuff going on here. Highly floral and bananaish character, with hints of caramel malts and a touch of balancing acidity (I hate to say that because people might think the beer is tart - it’s not - but the acidity is the only thing keeping this from being super-cloying). It’s definitely a weizenbock...a fairly simple one, though.
