Listed as 11.2% abv. Pours black with a small, lingering tan head. It smells of dark roast malt, chocolate and coffee. The flavor is of dark roast chocolate malt and some underlying resinous hops. Alcohol isn’t strong but it’s there. Full bodied. Balanced. Very tasty.

Pours near black with a light tan head. It smells of dark roast malt and resinous hops. The flavor is aggressively bitter with ample roast malt, the piney, resinous hops blending well with the stout characteristics. It's exactly what it says it is, a good, straightforward black IPA.

Pours hazy copper with a dense head that laces well. The smell is odd. There seems to be a metallic quality to it. It tastes off too. There's mild bitterness, some caramel, and a thin body. An unpleasant flavor spoils it. Maybe this keg is off? I see some other ratings on another site that thought it was fine.

Pours a light amber-brown with a small head. The aroma is malty with caramel and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with caramel and toffee, malts, sugar, and mild hops bitterness. It's on the sweeter side of barley wines.

Pours clear gold with minimal head. It has a malty, tart aroma. The flavor is pleasantly tart with grainy, bready malt and a nice fruity character. It's a decent, straightforward berliner weiss.
