On tap at Gladstone, pours a cloudy dark rusted red with a small off-white head. Aroma reveals faint tart cherries, some earthy notes, a little lacto, and a hint of funky brett. Flavour is very earthy and muffled, with gently tart cherries and lacto. Not much depth or complexity. It's alright.

On tap at Gladstone, pours a hazy copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, a touch of tartness, and bready malt. Flavour follows suit, with piney hops, light tart fruits, and bready malt. Smooth and drinkable, despite the ever so slight tartness. It works alright.

On tap at Gladstone, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out toasted malt and some bready notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with bready malt, some toasted notes, and a slight earthy character. Not quite on style; the plate is rather sludgy. Okay.

On tap at Gladstone, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Nose is on point, with dry oats and medium toasted malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with powdered dry cocoa, not much else. Competently brewed but forgettable.
