Clear copper pour, medium white head. Subtle aroma of citrus, and resinous pine, with little to no malt. Mouth feel is very soft, along with the carb. The finish is very fruity, notes of citrus, and melon, with a medium to high bitter finish.

I wouldconsider this a brown ale. Dark copper pour, lovely nutty, roasty malt aroma, with some light hopping. Clear, crisp mouth feel, perfect carb. Super nice nutty finish, good cereals, and grassy hops. Nothing that will blow your hair back, but its very well made, and i can taste the quality ingredients.

Hazy, dark orange pour, medium white head. Herbal, hoppy aroma, light citrus, slight tartness. Soft mouthfeel, soft carb. Peppery flavour, lots of herbal, green hops, with some solid citrus zest. Easy drinking, not in your face, but quite nice.

Dark brown pour, not totally black. Small beige head. Sweet, very roasty aroma. Subtle notes of vanilla and coffee, with some earthy hops. Good carb, solid mouth feel. The finish is incredibly roasty and satisfying. Some nuttiness, and coffee, with a great lingering roastiness and a medium bitterness. A great solid stout.

Hazy golden pour, small white head. Upfront malted wheat aroma, with some very very subtle citrus. Watery mouth feel, solid carb. The finish is crisp, and clean, with very light bitterness. The citrus fades and isnt present in the finish, just some more wheat flavours.

This stout poured a deep black colour with a huge, creamy brown head. Nice lacing. Scents include chocolate, cardboard, coffee, roasted malts and a little black cherry. First swig was smooth, creamy and a little boozy. Flavours of burnt malts, coffee, molasses and smoke. Just to name a few. Finish is roasted with flavours of coffee and black cherry lingering.
