Inviting appearance — dark body, thick tan head. Big malt aroma — roast, chocolate, syrup. Flavor tips toward the sweet side — chocolate with notes of caramel and toast. Medium to heavy body, but certainly not syrupy. Very easy sipping. Slight bitter aftertaste to balance the sweet malts.

A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet and quite hoppy, but also with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of cow berries and caramel and again with nice hoppy notes, leading to a dry end.

An amber beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is dusty hoppy as well as slightly flowery. The flavor is sweet malty and rather hoppy. OK.

Bottled. Pale amber, average head. Citric peach aroma. Sweet and fruity with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Dominated by the caramelly crystal malt character until the finish, that has plenty of herbal spices and good bitterness. Comepared to the MacTarnahans Amber Ale I had alongside it is somewhat empty and has less attractive malt character.

I recon the aroma is better than the first impression, as well as the taste (excellent hop impact)

Hazy golden color. Very nice hoppy aroma, a bit fruity. Quite dry mouthfeel, hoppy, quite strong aftertaste, but not enough malty nor aromatic.

Bottle shared with Capflu, DumDum and Lubière: Poured a light orangey color tripel with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of wheat is very weak with some light coriander and some Belgian yeast. Taste is less spicy then what I would have hoped for with a definite lack of wheat. Body is too thin for the style and carbonation is almost non-existent.

The aroma of this IPA - floral and sweet malts with just the subtlest hint of citrus and pine - provides no clue to the hoppy bitterness to follow at first taste. The beer poured dark copper, not quite opaque. Short off-white head. Its flavor leans toward the sweet malts - honey and caramel. But there is a nice coating of raspy hops during and after taking a sip, one that intensified as the beer warmed. Medium to thick body. If grapefruit and pine are your idea of an ideal IPA, this ain’t it. But I thought the balance between sweet and bitter made this a refreshing beer.

Bottle. Blackish beer with a cocoa head. Sweet roasty malt aroma with some vanilla. Roasty, slightly astringent flavor with a bit of nuttiness. Medium body. Roast lingers.

Bottled. Ruby, brief head. Aroma of toffee with a hint of red currant. Fairly sweet with soothing creamy mouthfeel and medium body. The flavours are wrapped in layers of soft cotton, creating a pleasant, but one-dimensional beer.

An orange beer with no head. The aroma is primarily of alcohol, but also has some spicy notes. The flavor is very sweet - and very simple - it is of alcohol and coriander, that gives it a dry burning end. Too simple for me - maybe a couple of years of cellaring would do it good?
