Dark brown with a firm, chocolate milk-colored head. Bittersweet chocolate, roasted malts, milk. Lightly roasted malts, chocolate, some smoke, and milk. Finish is roasted malts, and bittersweet. Nice, smooth body. Not the most complex stout, but easily drinkable and rather tasty.

Glowing hay in color with a quickly diminishing white head. Sweet aroma of banana, yeast, herbal spices, and clove. Full bodied. Flavor is a bit off, but not bad. Spicey, yeast, sweet malts, and some banana. Not a bad hefe, but I can’t say it’s worth picking up twice.

Dark hazy brown color. Caramel, whisky, a touch of bread in the nose. The mouth follows through with caramel, milk chocolate and brandy. Much more like a thin dopplebock. I like the flavors, but its going two different directions at once. Although enjoyable, it would be better to put the ABV up to 8% and call it a dopplebock.

Cloudy orange with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet malts, yeast, spice, fruit, banana, and wheat. Body is silky smooth. Flavor is banana, fruity, spices, clove, and wheat. A bit of a tart, bitter finish. Really enjoyed this one.

Tap at Aldgate. Black with a medium tan head. Roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, and some nutiness. Flavor is similar. Roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, slightly smokey. Finishes sorta spicy. Body is a little on the thin side. Really enjoyable.

Deep mahogany color. Black tea, noble hops and caramel strike me in the nose. This theme continues with an added dose of cookies, in the moderately thin and bitter mouth. On the way to being great, but still needs work.

I looked at the ratings before, I had this beer and didn’t have much expectations. WOW, nice surprise to say the least. Deep golden color with a fruity nose of apricots, strawberries. Fully body of apricots, strawberries and oranges. Rich malty finish with a lingering orange taste. Tried six years after the original rating and it isn’t quit as good as what it once was. Still not a bad brew, but just above average and lacking depth.

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.
