Can from Beerdome. Aroma is nutty with powdery cocoa, milk chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, toffee, lactose, touch of marshmallows, and pecan. Sweet flavour with a moderate bitterness. Medium body. Another tasty Milk Stout variety from Rochester Mills.

Can from Lekkerbier, Sint Nicolaasga. Strong Bourbon aroma with caramel, brown malt, toffee, some alcohol, vanilla, and butterscotch. Flavour is medium to heavy sweet, mildly bitter, bit boozy. Body is medium to full. Rich caramel toffee malts with some lovely warming Bourbon, very tasty.

Hazy orange tinted pale. Nose is somewhat putrid IPA, must be the orange in there, weird fer-sher. Taste is certainly a little orange someplace in the background, but the IPA comes on strong, evolving from the background to rapidly punching you in yer face, whew. Difficult for a lager lover. Between the nose and the taste, it almost pulls out the gag reflex. Ugh. Think about a real rubber inner tube sent thru a food processor, along with fermenting rotting oranges peels and some pine tar sap and then mixed with the hand soap that comes in a dispenser. Yea, this is another rude ass IPA. As a recall, when I was making my mixed six pack, I didn't see this was IPA or maybe I would have left it on the shelf. Thicker palate, mouth coating nonsense. On the inevitable undesired finish there is this typical on style big ass bitter IPA finish. Fortunately, some of the orange actually comes thru in the end. Tuff stuff. If you like IPA, put this on yer bucket list. Ewe

16oz can pours out hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is sweet citrus hops and some tropical notes. Taste is more of the nice sweet tropical fruit hops a little citrus.

Peppermint, chocolate malt, and hay aroma. Black with small brown head. Lightly sweet peppermint, chocolate malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Good body. Aroma much more intense than the flavor.

Blueberry, maple syrup, bready malt, and straw aroma. Black with moderate brown head. Mildly sweet blueberry, maple syrup, biscuit malt, and mildly bitter dry hay flavor. Good body. Smells like it's going to be a sugar bomb but isn't.
