Dark brown, thin head. Chocolatey, medium bitterness, off-dry finish. More porter than tmavy but it'�s all good.

Opaque, pale purplish. Not much head. The spruce is huge, the brut IPA base is actually noticeable, and the blackberry lends a touch of fruity sweetness.

Purply brownish colour. Not much head. I like that colour. Medium cherry, base is somewhat crackery, estery and low bitterness. I think a more complex base would help because the cherry is quite pleasant. Not farmhousey, but it's fine.

Slight mango accent in the appearance, and it's opaque. Light tartness, mild mango but it's refreshing. I like that balance. Solid.

Looks good, vibrant, cloudy. Medium bitterness, nice hop fruitiness, on the grapefruit and gooseberry side. Clean pale malt. Bright and balanced. Well-made hazy.

Amber with slight haze. Just a thin head. Vanilla nutmeg aroma. On the palate, it's simple, maybe a touch of cinnamon to it. Soft body. It's very sweet, too much so. The spices, however, are rounded, no harshness. So it's not bad overall.
