12oz bottle. Brown-amber-black body. Thin, oily beige head. A pretty respectable Baltic Porter. A touch thin and watery, some syrupy touches. Thinnish on the palate, but that keeps it relatively drinkable and easy going. Brown chocolate, toffee, chocolate syrup. OK, but doesn’t display much depth.

12oz bottle thanks to obguthr
Pours cloudy golden with a medium sized off-white head and some lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel, pine and floral. Flavors are sweet, caramel, lemon peel and piney
A decent IPA but nothing seems to blend together.

Bomber from Whole Foods Short Pump. Pours a hazy dark brown color with a thin fizzy tan head. Poor head retention. Aroma of toffee malts, banana, cocoa. The taste is stone fruits, cherries, toffee, banana, herbal hops in the finish. Medium bodied, low carbonation, subtle booze.

Bottle from the last local swap - thanks! Pours hazy amber with a small off-white head and some lacing. Aroma is grass, pepper, wheat, spices. Flavor is a bit odd, actually. Medium sweet, peppery, wheat. Medium body.

Raisin. prune, and apple, with banana highlights. Cloudy rust, colored, thin head. Raisin and prune flavor. Clove is present. A very wheaty belgian, reminiscent of Aventinus, but not quite as good. Quite enjoyable, regardless, and just what I was in the mood to have this evening.

Bottle, thanks ygtbsm94. Pours opaque deep brown with a small tan head that dissipates quickly with some lacing. Aroma is roasty, cigarettes, more roast, coffee. Flavor is the same, some anise as well, a bit of cocoa. Light plus sweet, light bitter, some odd astringence, almost smokey but not really. Medium body, moutfheel tarnished a bit by the astringence, which seems to create a false feeling of overcarbonation in the mouth.
