Pours black with a lingering tan head. Smells of berries, chocolate, and roast malt. The flavor is of dark roast malt and lots of berries. Nuts are hard to pick out. There’s some chocolate character. Full bodied. Very tasty.

Pours hazy burnt orange with a small head. This has a mild, vaguely hoppy and fruity aroma. The flavor though… ugh. What happened here? It’s bitter but not in any good way, more of a stale, cardboard and even chemical way. This is just bad. Oof.

Pours hazy orange with a small lingering off white head. Aroma is very citrusy, especially orange. The flavor is moderately bitter at most and juicy with oranges prominent. Quite good.

Pours a hazy orangish brown with a very small head. It smells of berries, lemons, and caramel malt. Like the brewery’s other barleypop beers, it’s very sweet, but lemon and raspberry bring a little tartness to cut it so that the sweetness isn’t cloying. Enjoyable brew.

Pours clear gold with a one finger white head. It has a mild, fruity aroma. The flavor is more of lime and I guess some mango. It doesn’t come through as much as I’d like. There’s grainy malt and a mildly bitter finish that seems almost pithy. Okay.

This one is similar to Kilned By Crown, of course. There’s tons of dark roast coffee flavor. If anything it’s even roastier than the Crown version. Intense. Excellent beer.

Pours black with a lasting tan head. The aroma is dominated by coffee. So is the flavor. It’s a dark roast coffee. The chocolate malty flavor takes a backseat to it. Full bodied, malty dark roast coffee with a kick is very tasty.

Pours near black with a small fading head. Smells of chocolate and roast malt. The flavor is of dark roast malt and chocolate. Chocolate leads at first and the roast malt takes over as it warms. Medium body. I preferred this one to the pumpkin variant.

Pours near black with a small fading tan head. The aroma is pretty much all pumpkin pie spices. The flavor is full of pumpkin pie spices with roast malt underlying it. Maybe some chocolate? Assertive flavors are generally good to me, but I think the spice is overdone. It’s still pretty decent.

Pours near black with a one finger tan head. It smells of coffee, coconut, and roast malt. The coconut ispretty mild but noticeable in the flavor. Beyond that it’s a pretty solid porter with dark roast malt and coffee. Medium bodied.
