A darker brown colour with some ruby-copper highlights, and some small particles floating around - like spices). A huge, creamy, warm light-beige head with very good retention and sticky, creamy lacing streaks. Roasted malt aromas with chocolate notes, some caramel and a touch of vanilla. The fudge comes out in the taste, with a tad nuttiness, blending with the chocolate malts. A soft, creamyish mouthfeel with enough dryness in the end to cut the richness. Not a bad, Nitro Stout with the brownie-sunday feel that is a little more essences, but drinkable.

This lager poured a hazy medium orange with a descent, creamy white head. Nice lacing. Scents include cooked veggies, malt, corn, biscuit and dough. First swig was not bad. Flavours of corn, honey, malt and a little cardboard. Finish is malty with corn flavours lingering.

This stout poured a deep black colour with a creamy, tan coloured head. Nice lacing. Scents black cherries, chocolate, dough, mild vanilla and a little coffee. First swig was smooth and sweet. Like a mouthful of Black Forrest cake. Other flavours of chocolate, black cherries, roasted malt and a hint of vanilla. Finish is thick and sweet with chocolate/cherry flavours lingering.

This espresso porter poured a deep black colour with a creamy, tan coloured head. Nice lacing. Scents include coffee and cocoa. It’s strange but I don’t get allspice in it. Spice, yes… almost a thyme smell to it? First swig was smooth and creamy and slightly sweet. A tiny bit thin in the mouthfeel, but delicious first impression. Flavours of coffee, burnt malt, cocoa and a little allspice. Finish is roasty and full of coffee/spice flavours that linger forever.

Dullish pale. No head. Simple kettle sour, simple orange note. It's clean, the orange is a bit artificial. It's okay.

Poured from 473mL can. Chill hazed blonde with small white head. Blood orange kettle sour, the fruit is prominent, decent.

pleasant nose, with light chocolate, some coffee and hint of the promised oatmeal. The taste is understated and balanced, same as the nose with a little added brown sugar. But the chocolate and coffee dissipate pretty quickly, which is unusual for an oatmeal stout. What is left is malt, oatmeal and some sweetness in the aftertaste.

This is a tasty, understated blonde ale. It does not overdo the Belgian yeast, which is a mistake many brewers make (IMO) in this category. Again, as with their English Ale and IPA, this is a malt forward beer. It is a nice sweet bready taste, and appropriate in this style of beer. Very refreshing.
