An orange beer with a lazing white head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes being light apricot. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of apricot, leading to a bitter end. An OK beer - but I find it more spiced than IPA-like.

A slighlty pale amber beer with a dying orange head. The aroma is sweet hop juice like - with notes of alfa acids, fruit, and citrus. The flavor has a good hoppiness combined with lighter notes of toffee and brown sugar, the hops gives it an OK bitter end, but the body is thin.

A very deep red beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet and quite spicy combined with a light touch of chocolate. The flavor is sweet with light notes of malt, chocolate, and roasted malt, leading to a chocolaty end. OK porter, but in the light end of the spectrum.

A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of flowers and citrus. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of caramel and flower, leading to a lightly bitter end. And the body is thin. Boring.

Mine poured a murky copper/brown with almost no white head. Initial aroma is gentle and hoppy. Taste surprises at first, malty, hoppy and sweet with fruit and caramel notes. Clean, slightly soapy finish. A pleasant surprise.

Pours a beautiful, deep garnet brown with an average sized tan head that falls quickly. Weak aroma, a bit of chocolate and some roast, but nothing prominent. The flavor is lightly sweet, but nothing that shouts Porter here. A bit thin.

averaged sized rocky white head that diminished quickly. Fruity melon/berry aroma. Little to no hop aroma. Slight sweetness with an appearance now and then of some bittering hops. There was and acidic/sour aftertaste in the first few sips that wasn’t as well detected at the end. A bit thin. Fair amber ale.

Pours clear copper with a well formed head of off-white. Malt dominates the aroma, but leaves a bit of hop coming through. Subdued sweet malt flavor with a pleasing dryness that makes up the finish. Decent.

My first taste of an oatmeal stout. The price was right, 96 cents a 12 oz bottle at Beaver Valley Beverage in Monaca PA so I gave it a try. I was surprized that I needed a real bottle opener to get the top off! It has a lovely inviting chocolate smell in my three stooges glass, something like a quality fudge-sicle. An initial taste revealed a creamy chocolate surprize...much more chocolate than mackesonxxx. Does not have quite the burnt charcoal flavor as Mackeson xxx and is just a little thinner. Very impressive. Has that real stout flavor. I could drink many of these at a time. Just a little bit of bitterness in the aftertaste.

Clear amber color with a medium creamy white head. Sweet floral aroma. Sweet heavy citrus flavor with some floral hints. Original Rating 6/3/6/3/11
