Can. Very dark brown with a good inch of light tan head that fades to a fat coat. Aroma of mocha, nectarine, grapefruit, pine: so American Style means hoppy. Sweet and really not very roasty at all with mocha and fruity hops. Piny but not v bitter at the end. Doesn't do quite enough to be as strong as 7.8% and isn't very stouty, but tasty.

Can. Black, a light tan fades to a good cm. Aroma is whisky forward with singed praline and honeycomb, heavy roast, slightly jarring citrus. Smooth, full bodied, lowish carbonation. Big whisky, vanilla and praline flavours but getting towards dry at the end. Again the citrus doesn't quite fit. Perhaps it will fade in time - this comes in a 2 500ml tin pack.

Can. Very clear orange with a 2cm white head. Aroma of dope, mango skin, berries, weeds, bread. Dryish is good but empty in the middle not so much, particularly at 7%. The aromatics are there but there's not much bitterness either. Lacks presence.

Pours hazy gold with a large quickly fading head. Nose shows apricot, floral, spicy and grassy hops, and soft bready malt behind.Flavours include more bready malt, a bit of a cardboard-like stale character, along with passion fruit and a bit of apricot.

Poorly stored in guessing. Some stone fruit, but lots of malt.

Can. Fair hazy orange with a good cm of white head that never completely dissipates. 3+ Somewhat sherbety orange and lemon aroma with some floral notes, some mango, hints of pine. Citra but not just Citra, I'd guess. Pretty clean with tangy rather than juicy fruit and pine before a modestly bitter finish. Delicious, maybe a bit too swiggable.
