Has a watery brown body with no real foam, smells of good spicy cinnamon soft dark biscuit, yet no sign of the bourbon. Flavour is nice coffee, cinnamon, sweet biscuit, crisp and dry finish. Very nice but I can't say I detect any bourbon.

Has okay darker gold body with little foam, smells of heavy sweet malt and syrup. Flavour is all soft maltiness, chewy, vague thick pine, there's a full and oily finish and the abv is very well hidden. Still, it's quite simplistic and kinda boring.

Murky orange body with little foam, smells of sweet hops, slight vinegar, I can't detect any coconut. Flavour is all heavy coconut and sweet hops but they don't work well together, feels too chemical and there's a lingering chemical aftertaste. I get the idea they're after but this definitely needs some tweaking.

Has weak yellow body with little foam, smells of soft sweet hops. Flavour is soft lagery sweetness, chewy light grain, but the finish is thick and too heavy for a lager. Mediocre.

Jet black with a rich light brown head. Minty chocolate. Dark minty chocolate and some bitter sweetness in the finish. Not bad.

Sort of a dullish colour, with no head. Tart, with lots of random orange and juniper notes, maybe lime. Pretty straightforward, but I'm finding the flavour combinations are enjoyable and the end product is fairly refreshing overall.
