Good body, rich malts, some chocolate, moderate residual sweetness. Light coffee. Strong bitterness with a lot of hop resins.
2013-12-30, draught at the brewery, 6-4-7-4-14=35
Black color with brownish head. Mild aroma of roasted malts. Lean body; the roasted malt and dark chocolate flavor is quite good, supported by very light residual sweetness, some roasted nuts; correct bitterness; there is a light liquorice impression; the final is lightly creamy.
Balanced and well brewed.

The color is dark brown near black with small head. Mild aroma, stale pond water. Dry mouthfeel; some roasted malt, luckily with mild impact, followed by some yeast spiciness, light spruce, expected bitterness level.
It won’t make an impact.

Amber colour, just hazy. I get wet paper and light caramel; the darker malts give a feeling of dust.
Dry and lean Amber Ale, but not for me.

Cloudy light amber color with creamy head. The aroma is mild; there is some malt, paper and hops, but too timid; possibly there is a very light lemony touch. It has quite pronounced carbonation with impact on the mouthfeel; the malt flavor is somehow papery and dusty too, more evident in the final; strong bitterness with a little amount of hop resins and very light citrus touch. Some yeast astringency in the final.
Decent Pale Ale, although would be better if cleaner.

Cloudy amber color, dull, with small head. It's one of those many Ales and Bitters, mainly brewed in North America, with a strong yeast and vegetables character; it's dry, and the bitterness rather strong.
Plain uninteresting.

Fruity, citrusy, well hopped; dry and lean, with a nice honey touch. Very good.

Hazy golden color with compact head. Light animal hop aroma. Lean body, highly carbonated; malt flavor, with a touch of caramel and toffee; very strong bitterness, resiny, just a bit fruity, not bright enough. In the end, the beer is good but a bit hard.
2013-12-24, draught at the brewery, 7-4-7-4-15=37
Golden color, clean, with compact small head. Nice aroma of hops, hop bag, very light animal touch. Lean body, dry mouthfeel; the malt flavor is quite good, with some toffee, and very light biscuity note; strong bitterness, with some bitter orange fruitiness and nice hop resins; long final.
Very good; the best offer here today.

Muddy deep blond color with compact head. The hop aroma is somehow mild, but nice: citrus fruits, grapefruit, light cedar and bergamot. The mouthfeel is rather dry, but the body strength is correct; some wheat flavor and relative spiciness, very strong bitterness, with enough fruity contribution (grapefruit and cedar mainly, some lemon peel), but also some harsh resins, and the final is a bit too vegetable, hard on the bitterness.
Good but unpolished; waiting for a cleaner version…

Light amber color, hazy, with small head. Easy ale, with not much character, with some presence of vegetables, and not much of the promised hops. I have to say at least that this one is fairly clean.
2013-12-24, draught at the brewery, 5.5% ABV, 6-4-7-3-13=33
Hazy amber color with compact head. Mild aroma of malt and less of hops. Dry mouthfeel; the malt flavor it rather caramelly, with a toffee touch; strong bitterness, but the qualities of those two hops don’t shine enough; the final is even a bit metallic.
To be tuned.

Bright red color, cloudy, with compact head. Light wheat aroma and flavor; dry and weak mouthfeel; no spicy yeast character; it has just an impression from the hibiscus. Relatively ordinary bitterness. Short final. Boring.

Muddy blond color with compact head. The aroma is light; lemony an a bit yeasty. Dry mouthfeel, with high carbonation; there is some wheat, quite strong lemon feeling, evident acidity but not excessive, light breadish and yeasty impression; low bitterness. Light grapefruit bitterness in the final.
Not convincing.

On tap at Brassneck, pours an opaque murky dark burgundy with a small beige head. Aroma brings out dark fruits, Christmas spices, and Belgian yeast. Flavour brings out lots of Belgian yeast, dark fruits, and light spices. Extremely well-balanced, with a nice spiciness and dry dark fruitiness. Not my favourite style, but this is brewed very well. Great stuff.

On tap at Brassneck, pours a clear amber / bronze with a small white head. Aroma brings out resinous hop, orangey citrus notes, and sufficient caramel malt. Flavour is super dry, with shitloads of dry piney hops, bitter citrus rind, and earthy notes. Extremely dry, with a high astringency. Really well-made, without any residual sweetness. Great stuff.
