Nice medium yellow body and okay foam, soft aroma that comes across like pizza dough mixed with creamers at your local diner. Flavour is lots of creaminess, proper tasting, with notes of ale grain worked in there. Smooth mouthfeel. Easy drinking and a great cream ale that puts other local attempts to shame.

Smells of good chewy chocolate and barley, oily coffee on the back end, all prominent and well balanced. Has nice foam on a blackish brown body. Flavour is bright, sweet yet smoky barley and coffee, great balance and finesse here. Mouthfeel is full and crisp. This is a very nice sweet stout.

Cask at the brewery. The smell is great sweet raspberry mixed with soft candy cream, well done and right on target. Has no foam and a muddy brown body. Flavour is very impressive sweet raspberry balanced with circus candy floss, again right on the nose. Mouthfeel is crisp. This is unique and well done for this style, probably the best attempt I've encountered.

Darker brownish clear body and modest foam. Sweet malt on tbe nose and sharp hoppiness. Flavour is a good hop and malt balance, chewy and deep. Full on the mouth. Straight ahead for a biscuity pale ale but it works.
