Golden-bronze. Pear and orange nose with some wood. Pretty amarilloey with quite a bit of sweetness, notes of brown sugar, dalandan soda, that sort of thing.

Golden-brown. Slightly toasty with a chewy toffee nose. Slight chewiness in the palate, too, with hints of molasses and vague nuts.

Cloudy golden-beige. Husky nose with light banana. Sweet, malty, with some bubblegum. Hints of banana. A bit too sweet for me.

Draught Dark yellow-brown head over very, very deep-brown beer. Burnt barley, ashes, bit of moccha, but not sweet. Warming up, I got a whiff of chlorine, however. Burnt-roasted breadcrust, chocolate and black coffee. Some alcohol traceable. Very well bodied without becoming overloaded or too sticky. Ashes in the aftertaste. Good Foreign STOUT - in the original meaning of the word.

Draught Small, dark yellowish head over black beer. Creamy, lactic nose, superimposed on the classical roasted notes. Nice, if quite burnt taste, expressly roasted. No creaminess in the flavourperception, but it is again present in the MF. Medium to well-bodied, very slick. Good Baltic porter, made with bottom-fermenting yeast.

Draught, described by Jeff as a Best Bitter Deep amber beer, with a small white head. Artichoke aroma, maybe a bit phenolic, strange; drying grass. Old, stale cookies, bit of diacetyl? Malty, no hops, even the UK ones are not traceable. Light, not too present on the palate - maybe that’s too British for comfort. Too mainstream for my idea - and if the hempen from the C.D. is correct, another one to add to my idea that hempen is a useless addition.

Draught Good, light-yellow head over beautiful old-golden beer. Hops, C-hops, US hops - do I need to elaborate? Yes, because there’s an aroma of FRESH celeri sticks. Bitter, fully dominated by the US hops, and little else. Maybe some caramel malts. Medium bodied, ending a bit harsh. Good IIPA, in the style of the name: workmanlike performance.

Draught; described by Jeff as a double IPA Black beer with orange-brown highlights, covered with a cream-coloured head. Hops, and this time no doubt US ones; fresh and leafy, some cookies. Sharp bitter, near-metallic taste with bitter chocolate flavours; long bitter-harsh aftertaste. Well bodied, but rather harsh on the throat. Not bad! Original interpretation of an IIPA.

Draught Creamy-golden, no head left. Sulphur, grassy, weak nose. Weak, oxydized pale malts, watery finish. Weak and watery MF. Oops. I blame the "style".
