Out of the bottle, a low tan head on a deep brown body. The nose is musty chocolate and roasted malt with some sweetness. The chocolate and pepper heat lead the taste profile. Notes of the cinnamon and vanilla mingle with the dominant flavours. Chocolate fudge and sweet ripe berries are down there somewhere as well. The peppers are a bit sharp, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Nice density, smooth and slightly sticky. Very solid offering.

A dense off-white head with sustained lacing on a deep auburn body. Sweet malt, spice and toffee on the nose. Well roasted german malts, walnuts, caramel, ripe berries, plums, and chewy biscuit build a substantial taste profile. Slick, sweet and slightly sticky. A great winter warmer indeed.

A laced pure white head on a creamy yellow body. Fresh squeezed pineapple and tropical fruit in the nose. The pineapple leads the taste profile with tropical fruit notes, melon and orange adding to a fresh, juicy mix. A slight piney astringency and smooth sweet malt round out one of the best of the \"Starring\" series

A dense white head with enduring lacing on a light straw body. The nose pops with pine resin, grapefruit and fruit rid hoppiness. Nose elements carry through to the taste profile with additions of orange pulp, lemon and melon over a sweet malt base. Very fresh and juicy with a nice astringent hop edge. Top shelf.

A fine but substantial white head on a light amber body. Well sustained lacing. The nose is a burst of grapefruit, pineapple, lemon and sweet malt. More of the same in the taste profile. Very fresh and edgy fruit presence. The malt is slightly more roasty and chewy than suggested by the aroma. Touches of mango and cherry underneath. Top drawer!

A thin, quick dissipating tan head on a deep brown body. Coffee, chocolate, sweet malt and damp wood on the nose. A slick porter with dark chocolate, some coffee, caramel and citrus hops leading the taste profile. A slight woodiness works nicely. Edging its way towards the black IPA category, but holds the line nicely. Balanced, smooth with freshness in lead notes. A big league porter.

Outdoes NE IPAs for dense, creamy straw body. Relatively short lived white head with some lacing. The nose and taste profile are a pungent blend of fresh tropical notes and more astringent resin, grapefruit rind and pineapple hoppiness. The rindy fruit accents grow through the taste experience. A challenging, popping hop mini-bomb.

A well-laced frothy white head on an incredibly murky yellow-cream body. The nose is fresh pineapple, lemon and grapefruit. A NE pale ale with the fresh fruit medley, while keeping the west coast bite and rindiness. Pineapple pulp, grapefruit, resin, orange and lemon juice on a background sweet malt. big and boisterous for a 5.4 abv offering. BTP is getting pretty good at this!

Solid white head on an unfiltered peach-coloured body. Big tropical fruit nose with a slash of orange. Another fresh and engaging NE IPA from BTP. Mango, papaya, melon, orange pulp have a real kick. Sweet malt and a touch of pepper. A punchy thirst quencher.
