Deep, super dark brown coloured body with a thinnish single centimetre tall rich brown head. Aroma of quite pungent star anise, nutmeg, chocolate, coffee, earth, nuts, oatmeal and a dose of metal. Medium-bodied; Astringent flavours of metal and grain noticeable at first with a pungent earthy and nutty finish showing some coffee, oatmeal, chocolate, anise, nutmeg and caramelised sugars all very strongly, but some residual punch from alcohol and vanilla add to the complexity here with a decidedly complex and bitter finish, mainly from the malts, but also from the chocolate. Aftertaste is deep and very bittering with the vanilla and caramel to offset the punch, while some alcohol and oats still make this a bit long in flavours with the ever-so-slightest notion of canella on the end. Overall, a good enough Porter with some solid Spicey flavours, but a dry, grainy finish that makes this enjoyable and much more flavourful than an Irish Stout, but just as dry. I sampled this sixteen ounce pour on draught from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 20-May-2019 for US$5,00.

Perfectly clear with the faintest hint of haze with a super thin, single centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of soured grapes, a touch of funky yeast and grain with light lemons and citrus and a faint dose of malts coupled with some guava and tropical fruits and a soft sweetness at the finish. Ultra-light-bodied; Strong tart fruit notes at first with a touch of lemons, citrus, passionfruit, guava and a dose of light briny salt flavours that finish off and make this a bit more flavourful, but the tart notes end the beer nicely with a mouth-watering flavour at the end. Aftertaste shows the funky grain, a touch of the sweetness comes through from fruit and caster sugar, but the finish (and the other flavours) is all about the tart fruit and the soft yeast/wheat with a light brine finish. Overall, a very nice gose with a ton of flavour, yet goes down very easily and shows nicely throughout - great to sample and well worth trying to find if you like the style! I sampled this twelve ounce, stubby bottle, purchased from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 16-March-2019 for US$2,29 sampled on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 18-May-2019 in Pungoteague, Virginia.

Lemon, sour milk, wheat malt, and straw aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Mild sweet-tart lemon, malt, moderately sour lactic and citric acid, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Okay body. A solid, straight forward Berliner Weisse.
