Copper colour, pretty toasty on the nose. Like EPA or amber ale. Mild bitterness, definitely malty.

Cloudy, just a thin head. Lots of nice hop character, spicy and a light kiwi accent. All told, though, I like it.

Pale amber. Thin head. Lots of coffee on this one, big roast. Light balancing base beer, with a slight malt accent. Tastes a bit like a Coffee Crisp, it’s that sort of character.

Just a slight haze, fairly bitter, nice citrus, pine, some mellow malts. Pretty solid, actually.

Clean, pale straw, good malt base. Not much hop but just balanced. I like it.

Pours with a very nice deep beige foam and a very dark brown body, a little lighter than normal for impy stouts. On the nose is undoubtedly plenty of bourbon and also some soft coffee notes, but the bourbon barrel is dominating. Flavour is definitely bourbon forward but done in a good way - sweet coffee and chocolate layers back, staged properly. Very good mouthfeel, full and smooth with some chalky coffee notes. Alcohol is completely invisible. This has a very impressive balance, everything is working very well together and it's quite enjoyable.

Great nitro foam, serious staying power, black smooth body. Dry chewy grain on the nose, hints of powdered cocoa. Flavour is chocolatey barley, more powdered cocoa, mouthfeel mostly full but not huge. Pretty good nonetheless, competently brewed.

Nice deep clear pink body and soft foam, sweet blackberry on the nose. Flavour is good berry sweetness with a bit of a grain back end. Full on the mouth and not too sugary, it works well.

Has muddy gold body and okay foam, Smells of fresh sweet oily hops on the nose. Flavour is sweet lemon with good hops on the back end, kind of a licorice taste. Okay mouthfeel. Not too spectacular but adequate.

Medium clearish copper and white foam, soft malt on the nose. Flavour is sharp malt bitterness, soft hops on the aftertaste. Good carbonation. Well done.
