5.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 4
This saison poured a deep brown colour with a beautiful, creamy brown head. Nice lacing. Scents include ripe fruit, bubblegum, and maybe a hint of cloves? First swig was very nice with an initial sweet, ripe fruit flavour turning into a bit of bubblegum and light clove with some nice burnt flavours. Mouthfeel is thick with ripe fruit and a bit of wine flavour lingering.

This ale poured a nice red colour with a creamy, tan coloured head. Nice lacing. Scents include caramel, toast, dough and a hint of the cooked veggies. First swig was smooth and creamy with flavours of toast and malt. Lightly hoppy with a tiny bitterness lingering on the palate. Delicious!

This IPA poured a dark amber colour with a creamy light brown coloured head. Minimal lacing. Scents include caramel, bread and light herb? hops. First swig was a little thin but very flavourful. Flavours of cereal, toast and resin hops most prominent. Finish is quite hoppy on the palate with a little toast lingering.

This Brown poured a deep near black colour with a creamy, tan coloured head. Scents include molasses, coffee, chocolate and toast. Nice lacing. First swig was roasty as hell with flavours of coffee, caramel and a little smoke. Finish is nice and burnt with that roasted caramel/coffee lingering forever. Delicious !

Draft - Light cranberry sourness and a touch of soap. Clear orange red with a white head. Juicy, light tart and acidity. Nothing special, but OK.
