5.6/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
On tap at Garosu, pours an amber-tinged dark brown with a small tan head — too see-through for an impie stout. Aroma is extremely light, with soft toasted malt — not much else. Flavour is deceptively light — the palate is thick and creamy, but the flavour is fairly neutral, with medium toasted malt and bitter cocoa on the finish. Creamy palate but not much flavour depth, and a bit astringent on the finish. Not a great impie.

On tap at Garosu, pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out citrus hops, some grapefruit rinds, and floral notes. Flavour is quite hoppy, with intense floral and grapefruit hops, citrus rinds, caramel bready malt, and a very slight herbaceous character. Surprisingly hoppy and not too off-kilter. Not a masterwork of a IIPA, but pretty solid.

5.4/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
On tap at Garosu, pours an amber-tingled deep dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma brings out soft toasted malt and a hint of dry cocoa. Flavour is dry and muted, with soft dry cocoa and toasted malt. The body is on the thick side but there's honestly not much flavour profile. Lacking character but nothing wrong with it.

5.2/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
On tap at Garosu, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out straw, subdued grassy hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour is laid back and pretty neutral, with biscuity malt and straw. Not much hop character. Neutral and quite pointless.

Dark brown, the body’s a bit thin, a bit toasty, maybe a touch tart. Chocolate. I think with this rating I'm actually being polite.

Toasty, a bit sour, definitely light for the style. Not great. Ok well this brewery needs help.

Just full of diacetyl, had to send it back. They didn't know what I was talking about, but there was nothing other than diacetyl in the glass.
