Black, small tan head. Light crackery malt nose and palate. Vague hop bitterness. Drinkable, not memorable

Dark brown. No head. Toasty, with some dark sugars, and it finishes dry. Not a ton of complexity or richness, so leans a bit too heavily on hitting some complexity.

500mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown / black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out toasted malt, some toasted dark fruits, and bready malt. Flavour brings out a nice toasted caramel malt base, with bready malt, and some dark fruits. Bready, toasted caramel finish, with reasonable depth. Good.

Medium gold, bright, and a fairly thin head. It’s got a touch of saaz on the nose, but more on the palate. Big pale malt and saaz character. Honestly the bitterness is lower on the palate than on paper, but otherwise it’s well within the normal pilsner range. I can dig it, even if I’d want the malts a touch brighter and the hops more assertive. Quibbles.

Kind of a murky haze to it. Colour is blonde with just a faint bit of pink jamaica to it. White head, medium. The aroma is quite fruity – berryish, with some esters. It’s a bit sweet. The saison yeast brings some depth to it, but it still seems like there’s berries in there. No berry beers on the menu, though so that’s hibiscus. What confuses me is that much hibiscus normally would come with pink colour and that’s not the case here.

Pale amber, thin head. Some sweet malts on the nose, maybe some esters. On the palate, not getting it done. Too sticky, sweet. Nice lacing and that’s about it. I’m struggling to reconcile “32 IBUs” with a beer that’s overly sweet and doesn’t really bring a great malt character to the table. I don’t hate it; I just don’t think it lands.

On the palate, it’s not got much dubbel character. Thin old school diner coffee, nuts, cardboard cutouts of fruit…just a weird, muted dark ale of no particular influence, heritage, or quality. They’ve been making this long enough that this is what they want.

Golden colour, thin head. It’s got a mellow biscuity malt character, giving off a nice sweetness. The hop bitterness is medium, and lends an off-dry herbal character to the finish. Good balance on this one – enough bitterness to round it out but the malt character is pretty good, too. Actually this could pass for a modern Oktoberfest beer.
