Smells of good plum and sweet coffee. Has a nice brown-black body with soft white head. Flavour is creamy coffee, soft barley and some sweet chocolate. Full on the mouth. This is a nice sweet porter.

Smells of sharp hops and nothing else, has good foam and a deep red-brown body. Flavour is good sharp malts, nice chewy brown sugar. Mouthfeel is full with a dry finish. A decent amber ale.

Smells of very soft sweet grain. Has a light gold body with little head. Flavour is soft grain with some sweetness. Wet on the mouth. An unremarkable pilsner in every way.

Smells softly of floral hops with thin honey notes. Has a weak yellow body with just a bit of white foam. Flavour is sweet grains and what seems to be like honey again. Full enough mouthfeel, okay, unexciting.

Taster at the P49 with Andrey. Pours a very dark brown with a dark brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, roasted seeds, some fruity and leather notes. Taste is similar with high roasted malt bitterness. Heavy body. Interesting.

Cloudy blond colour. The base is a bit too sweet, but with crackery malts; juicy hopping , stone fruits, and moderate bitterness.
Very good.

Murky light blond colour. Funny smell, manure, ass, some funk. Not too dry, lean mouthfeel, crisp malt base, light funky yeast, and mild final astringency.
Quite good.

Clean amber colour. The caramel base is mild and not sweet, so acceptable even if not modern, the hopping is orangey, robust, West Coast style, but with mediocre quality.
Old style, decent IPA.

Muddy tan, no head, looks like shit. Very green and fruity on the nose. Moderate bitterness, actually has nice citrus. Could drink.
