courtesy of gillard Pours brown with tan head. Aroma of roasted malts with light nutty nose. Taste was quite interesting with light notes of roasted malts, coffee, mocha, chocolate and fruity champagne yeast. Hoppy finish.

Bottle. Cloudy yellow almost a whitish color. Good white creamy head. Nice spicy hop aroma. Clean and crisp with crackery malts and a spicy hop with a light to medium bitter finish. Really good but could use more hops actually.

Another rarity courtesy of tbd975, you my friend ROCK!!! Pours up dead blackness void with thin brown head. Big boozy bourbony and oaky aroma clearly detected from feet away from my glass. As my nose gets less than “feet” away I can start to pick up some roasty malts way off in the back. The taste is kind of thin bringing in big amounts of bourbon followed by mild roasty to caramel malts, some vanilla and then oak notes. Oak and booze ride together to the finish in a big bold nearly brash manner. This brew could use a more balance as age may bring out the base beer.

Courtesy of tpd975 ... straight out of district 1 voodoo box. Don’t pay attention to the cheap label of this beer, this one is one sweet and amazing brew. Pours a nice pitch black with nice brownish head. Beer leaves this nice thick golden lace when you swirl the glass ... a sure sign of something unique. Aroma and taste were very similar. Good notes of the bourbon barrel, nice roastiness malts and chocolate. Beer has a really low carbonation, no head. Subtle use of fruits and vanilla.

500ml graciously given to me by Kmweaver, thanks Ken. Pours a deep black-brown ruby color with a thick, foamy, and long lasting head. Mellow toffee and chocolate malt aroma. The taste is big and robust, huge toffee flavor. Cocoa and brown sugary sweet, but dry and full bodied. A nice hoppy balance adds a nice sandy mouthfeel mid-sip. An excellent Brown Ale.

Bottle...Dark brown body...fluffy tan head, that eventually shrinks to a cm.....malty metallic aroma with a little chocolate...flavor is light burnt malts...a little nutty, and some chocolate...bitter hop finish...as it warms up in the glass some prune/raisin flavors join the mix, and the finish changes from bitter hops to a coffee infused bitter....poofy carbonation in the mouth and a chalky feel left on the teeth

Bomber...A very sediment filled body...light copper in color...the head is light and fluffy...its off-white with a tinge of pink...nose is ripe raspberries, a hint of cherries, and just a light sweet fruit muddle...flavor is like a sweet and sour raspberry...I get some mango essences too which may be the passion fruit (not very familiar with its taste)...Its hard to believe this beer is 9.5%!...only a hint of alcohol comes through on the finish....a good fruit brew, unique....its lively in the mouth, yet is solid and has good complexity...the mid-palate holds a sweet yeasty taste that also shows up in the finish for a quick visit...yum!
