Can. Deep gold, small white head. Brooding crackery bread & stewed fruit aroma with citrus lollies and some herbal notes. A little less sweet and more transparent of palate than guessed with the citrus and herbs meeting bitterness nicely at the end. Not totally my sort of thing but good.

Can. Amber with a cm of white head. Aroma of somewhat sticky breadcrust, grapefruit, pine. Moderately sweet with some orchard fruit as well as crusty bread before first citrus and then lots of pine & pine needles take over towards a long bitter finish. Old fashioned and good.

Can. Gold with a white head. Rather doughy aroma with light spices. Light bodied and the malt is more focused than suggested by the aroma. Moderate but harsh herbal bitterness. Unpleasant.

Can. Very dark brown with a beige head that fades from a cm to a coat. Aroma of roast, grapefruit, some singed toffee. Which is very much how it tastes. The toffee is to the fore even at the end, but is interesting.

Can. Very clear amber with a fluffy white head that lasts OK. Aroma of breadcrust, earthy spices, weeds. Slightly chewy crusty bread, firm earthy and weedy bitterness rapidly overtakes the modest sweetness. Does what it says on the tin.

Can. Brown with a brief coat of beige head. Sticky breadcrust aroma with some sultanas and figs. Malty but only fairly sweet with dried fruit and caramel tamed reasonably well by spicy bitterness. Sound but not the most interesting.

Can. Very dark brown, small tan head. Roasty aroma with licorice, some mocha, stewed berries. Taste is along those lines, but perhaps a bit drier than expected with firm roast and bitterness at the end. Involving.

Can. Slightly unclear deep amber with a good cm of off white head. Malty toffee aroma with plums and citrus. Rich but doesn't overdo it with citrus and peppery hops swooping in nicely at bitter end. Subtly balanced, good.

Very hazy burnt orange with a dense cm of white head. Crushed fruit and grass aroma with pineapple, orange, banana, chewed crackers. Not all that sweet and reasonably clean. Less but still fairly fruity in taste with some twiggy spices joining at an end I wished a little more bitter. Still, pretty good.
