Poured from 500mL bottle. Dark brown with beige head. A subtle sweet roast with some decent carbonation. Otherwise quite boring.

Bottle. Can't say that it looks good - the brown is pale and dull, kind of murky, pours with a big head. Smells a bit yeasty, tastes similar. Sort of homebrewy - I assumed this place has a small kit and it does sort of come across that way.

Hazy gold, white head. Grainy nose.Light sweet, somewhat nondescript palate. Easy drinking and bland as per the style.

Medium goldish brown body and soft foam, nice sweet hops and malts balanced perfectly. Flavour is smooth sweet hops backed by just the right amount of malt. Mouthfeel has great oiliness but also a refreshing factor. Nothing too out there but it's all just well made and balanced, a pleasure to drink.

Excellent foam on a stormy copper body, soft floral malts on the nose. Flavour is a nice malt and hop balance, smooth and easy drinking. Gets the job done well.

500ml bottle from the source. Pours coppery brown with a fair bit of beige foam. Smells softly of vegetably hops with a hint of lighter malt like the Belgian ales of ould. Flavour is just a nice mellow mix of creamy grain, smart hops, and balanced in just the right way. The alcohol is nowhere to be found. A great Belgian ale, other local brewers should look upon this with envy.

Good medium brown body and nice creamy beige foam on top. Smells of sweet chocolate and soft vegetably barley. Flavour is dark bread, sweet black coffee with sugar, vague dark chocolate. Nice carbonation and fullness on the mouth. A very fine porter.

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.
