On tap at Taylight. The aroma is very hoppy orangey-ness, with very faint malt. Has a cloudy brown body with hints of orange, and on top a very minimal antique white head. Flavour is orangey juicy hops and sweet candy. Mouthfeel is full and oily. This is drinkable but points deducted because there's no way this is a bitter, it's way too hoppy and sweet.

Cask at the brewery. Smells of sour armpit hints with soya sauce and vinegar. Has a cloudy white body with pink hue and no head. Flavour is rough sweet vinegar and fruit juice, sour at least, but no complexity. Mouthfeel is watery, no carbonation, missing crispness, though kind of a sweet lime juice aftertaste lingers which is nice. There's some good things going on here but not enough of them.

On tap at Taylight. Smells nicely of juicy hoppiness. Has great white foam on top and a cloudy yellow orange body. Flavour is big juicy hops with light grain hints. Mouthfeel is crisp and dry. This is very nice but quite hoppy for a kölsch.

Smells softly of dark dry coffee. Has good dark brown body and modest beige foam on top. Flavour is a mix of vegetable and sweet caramel, not really working well together. Ends up becoming more balanced further in but the black and the pilsner are struggling to make music. Mouthfeel is full enough. It's not bad but this seems hard to get right and it isn't gotten right here.

On tap at Taylight. Smells of really nice coffee and soft red malt, balanced and working well together, even wood notes in there. Has a nice light beige foam and mellow dark copper clear body. Flavour is good milky coffee and soft sweet amber malts. Very tasty and balanced. Mouthfeel is full and sweet in all the right places. Probably their best beer to date.

Smells of sweet hops with vegetable hints, has a nice light white yellow body and white head. Flavour is soft hops with some oiliness and citrus. Mouthfeel is good crispness and oiliness on the mouth. This is nice and substantial for an ISA, one of their better beers.

Medium brown. Bubbly head. Big coffee aroma. Sweet vanilla notes. Candyish, really, which is not to my taste. I mean, I like stracciatella, it's one of my go-to gelati, but in beer format, in this beer format, no.

On nitro tap at Taylight, pours a cloudy dark red with a small beige head. Aroma brings out earthy coffee, toasted caramel and bready notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with caramel, earthy coffee and bready notes. Creamy palate, but not the most integrated flavour profile. It's alright.

On cask at Taylight, pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of vegetables, with spicy herbal notes and a hint of citrus hopping. Flavour is quite unpleasant, with lots of boiled vegetables, some harsh hops, and light citrus. This isn't nice at all.

On tap at Taylight, pours a dark orange amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out bready malt, toasted caramel, and some boiled vegetables. Flavour is along the same lines, with some smoked malt, vegetal presence and toasted caramel. I like the smoked / peated malt in here, but there's a bit too vegetal a character. Okay.
