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.

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.
