Pours reddish pink and pulpy looking. It resembles a bloody mary but has a dense head. It smells like a load of strawberries. The flavor is somewhat sweet with strawberries and cream. There's a mild bitterness that lingers in the finish in a sort of flat, not very crisp way. Interesting, very fruity brew.

Cinnamon, bready malt, and light grass aroma. Murky pale yellow with large white head. Very sweet lemon, cinnamon, biscuit malt, and very lightly bitter grass flavor. Good body - light carbonation. A nice interpretation of a snickerdoodle in beer form - very sweet but doesn't cross over into cloying.

Light gold pour with a white head. It has a mild, grainy, bready malt aroma. The flavo is sweet and bready, a light bodied beer with minimal hops. It's decent but not really my thing.

22 oz. bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is extremely sweet - smells like a cinnamon donut or something. Flavour is loaded with cinnamon, sweet cocoa, and light caramel. Oaky and boozy, which downplay the cinnamon a bit. Fun dessert beer, but it's not an elegant one.

Pours near black and smells of roast malt and piney hops. The flavor is similar with ample bitter hops and a pleasant roast character. Medium to full bodied. Very good.

Near black pour with a tan head. It has a roasty, chocolate malt aroma. The flavor is roasty and sweet with some chocolate. It's not overly sweet. Solid brew if a little underwhelming for my favorite style of beer. Note that that's still a very good rating. I'm just a huge sucker for imperial stouts and think there are a lot of excellent ones out there.
