500ml (thx, Ashley and Bree (the only helicopter pilot I know!)) @ Ryan's. Appearance: dark brown with a huge beige head. Aroma: inky, roasted malts. Taste: along the same lines, finishes quite bitter. Overall: a classic 𝚁̶𝚞̶𝚜̶𝚜̶𝚒̶𝚊̶𝚗̶ (yes, this is a cancellation in place!) Ukrainian stout.

Brown colour. A bit of cocoa/fudgey sort of aromas on this. A bit of roast, more chocolate. It's got a touch of acidity but more alcohol, and the latter is what really takes over in the finish. Solid work.

Medium brown, hazy. Thin head. Light body, cocoa, thin with a touch of acidity. The flavours aren’t bad, could use more residual sugars to make them pop.

Dull hazy, no head. The ginger and lime are prominent. The base is a bit gloppy and yeasty, and the flavourings (ginger, lemongrass, lime & coriander) help it out a bit.

Quite pale. No head. Has a bit of bitterness and a sort of grainy pale malt. Tastes like cream ale, actually, more so than the actual cream ale. Not bad on that score.

Some haze, pale amber. No head. Nose has lots of rye and some fruity hops as well. Medium bitterness, decent malt, more of the phenols, and the rye comes through in the finish.
