A red beer with a beige head. The aroma is sweet malty, the flavor slightly sour and malty. A boring beer.

A red beer with a fine head. Both the nose and the flavor is sweet and malty - a very nice beer.

An amber beer with a light brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of smoke. The flavor is of a good malt blend with hints of roasted malts.

Nice stout appearance, though it has a short-lived head, the lacing is light tan and decent. Aroma of lactose and roastiness, with some cookie. Flavor starts quite bitter, then that fades and makes way for some subtle maltiness and a finish of oats and excessive lactose flavor. Quite thin bodied, esp. for a stout. Easy drinking, but a mediocre effort at best.

A dark red almost brown beer with an OK head. The aroma is that of smoked and chocolate malt - just like a stout should smell. The flavor is a strong stout flavor dominated by smoked malt - it''s a little watery in the middle but ends with a good aftertaste. Not much like the other oatmeal stouts I''ve had - but a good stout anyways

An amber beer with a good head. It has a very nice friuty aroma. And a fruity, prickling flavor with a nice hoppiness. Of an ale it is a little thin for my taste.

Rich smoky aroma. Sweet caramel malt and BBQed meats in the nose as well. Something else is in there too, something sweet, like maybe chocolate-covered cherries. Dark red-brown, large creamy stiff head. Good retention. Rich dark malt flavor, light smokiness, earthy hops under all of it. A little chocolate. Extra smooth. Nice balance. Thick sheets of lace.
