Can. Pours a clear gold color with a medium sized white head that has fair retention and lacing. The aroma is sorta non-distinct with soft grains, straw and some white fruits. The taste is bready malts and a bit of fruit. The palate is thin and crisp with lively carbonation. Finishes short and clean. Overall: Decent blonde ale.

Very dark brown with a medium light brown head. Aroma of milk chocolate, hints of coffee and some vanilla. Taste of dark chocolate, sweet malt and a balanced bitterness.

19.2 oz can poured, picked up at Josh's. Dark cola brown pour, cream foam head, and almost pours like a nitro. Aroma is a nice, gently sweet chocolate, strawberries and cream. Really well executed recipe that shows off the base beer, and doesn't overpower the additions, despite them not going unnoticed. Well balanced imperial that's ultimately smooth and easy drinking. Chocolate covered strawberry in a glass here. Fun brew.

(Can) Black colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of coffee, dark chocolate, black bread, butterscotch, liquorice, cinnamon and vanilla. Malty, roasted taste with espresso, cacao, black bread, butterscotch, cinnamon, liquorice, raisins, vanilla and a balanced coffee bitterness in the finish. Full body, quite sweet. Rich and warming, with a sweet and spicy touch. Very nice.

Pours black with small tan head. Aroma strongly of fresh ginger. Flavour very gingerbread up front. Some notes of dark chocolate. Not bad.

Dark brown. Thin head. There's some chocolate and ginger, with a bit of soft, sweet malt. It actually comes across like one of those dark, molassesy gingerbread cookies. This actually works.
