Bottle Pours a hazy medium red/amber witha modest white head. Aroma is bready and pilsnerish with a touch of hops. Flavors are consistant, toasted malts, a bit sweet and just enough hops to ballance. Feel is thin but smooth and carbonation is soft. Aftertaste is a faint malty, woody flavor. Not bad. Thanks to MrFzcto

Bottle Pours a hazy amber light brown. Small off white head settling to a thin ring that can barely maintain spotty lacing. Aromas are a nice blend of light malts and faint hops. Some fruity notes of apple and pear. Flavors are fruity as above, very easy on the hops and some malty notes. I would not have gi\uessed this was an ESB as it is faintt, mellow and lacing much of the bitter hops that I expected. Toasty, breadlike and pleasant. Aftertaste is woody and again lacking much of a bitter trailer. Probly not very try\ue to type, but I think a bit under rated and very drinkable. Thanks again to MrFacto for this interesting one.

Bottle Pours a cloudy orange amber with a lot of carbonated fizzy action but no head or lacing. At all. Aromas a fruity like apple, appricot and pears. Flavors are yeasty, breadish and woody. Feel is thin watery and quite lively. Aftertaste is gone before you know it. Not unpleasant and would have been better much colder. Still, not unpleasant and good with my lunch. Thanks to MrFacto for this sample from the upper midwest.

This beer is ok. Some pumpkin in the aroma. Copper color. Flavor of sweet citrus and some spice. Little pumplin. Very nice aftertaste with mild spices and fruit.

Bottle pours a deep black with a small tan head that leaves spotty corse lacing. Aroam is of coffee and bittersweet chocolate. Flavor is very strong coffee grounds. Like when someone forgests to clean out the filter from the morning before. A salty mineral taste and a fairly thin feel. Bitter coffee trailer.

Quite a decent Dry Stout, and a big surprise from such a mediocre brewery - this is actually quite like an authentic, Irish-made stout - slight bitterness, with a hint of mineral salts to give it that "real irish stout" taste - medium bodied and somewhat chocolatey - pretty good.

Looks, smells and tastes like bitter Bud, with a little more body and a hint of grain - not very good at all.

Tastes like a weak brown ale - slightly nutty - a hint of caramel - thin mouthfeel - watery finish.

Copper in color with lots of chunky floaties - weak aroma, just a touch of fruit - this is the thinnest, most bland barleywine I’ve ever had - there is almost nothing going on besides a background sprinkling of caramel and oats under the otherwise watery, boring taste - flat finish with a bit of hops and an odd, metallic aftertaste.

IMore yellow than many wits. Not much aroma, some fruit and spice. Flavor is simple with coriander and orange, dominated by a sweet taste. Finish is also sweet.
