Big difference between the 6.1% abv posted and the 5% actually in my bottle. The most striking aspect of Buffalo Choco Stout is its thinness-- the watery texture kills what otherwise could be a sippable, if bland, pint. Seriously. This brew has one of the biggest discrepancies I’ve discovered between nice roasty stout flavors and piss-poor mouthfeel. The chocolate abounds on the nose and in the flavor, but, to beat that poor dead horse, it doesn’t matter with a body that’s near-nonexistent. Add some oats, dudes.

Draught. Sweet toasted molasses aroma, smelled like one of my ouma’s cookies. Full bodied sweet flavour. There’s more than a little barrel in this. Long sweet finish. A good beer but perhaps a little too sweet.

Bottle. Beer of the month club. Very dark brown color with a big stable beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, a bit of coffee, ginger and some cinnamon. Flavor is bittersweet with roasted malt, some spiciness (some ginger), coffee notes and a bitter, slightly spicy, roasty finish. Light-medium-bodied. OK.

0.33L bottle, crystal clear darkish orange colour, florall aroma with some skunk and pine, soapy flavour with some grapefruit, some malty sweetness and a coarse unrefined bitterness, sickly sour bitter aftertaste. Not one of the better IPA’s around.

0.33L bottle, smallish head, deep brown colour with dark red taints, aroma of cola, vinegar, nutmeg and cinamon, flavour of coffee and cola and hints of those same spices, light bitterness. Interesting beer but a bit thin and simple.

Bottle. Beer of the month club. Clear golden with a medium white head. Hoppy aroma of citrus fruits, flowers and a grainy hint. Flavor starts with some sweetness and bready hints and continues to a bitter grapefruity hops finish. Medium-bodied. A tasty and rather balanced IPA.

Cloudy dark brown beer. Not much head. Light crisp and slightly dry. Brewed with raisans - the taste of them is in there but evenly matched with some toffee caramel. Ends with mild aniseed alcohol. Strangely lightly flavoured and easy going for a 9% beer!

From the beer of the month club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright golden-amber color with a medium sized creamy beige head that lingered and produced good lacing. The aroma was bitter with moderate grapefruit, light pine and light pineapple. The flavor was dryish and nutty with a moderately strong grapefruit presence and light notes of pine and sour caramel. The finish was long and bitter with lingering grapefruit. Moderately full bodied. Decent.
