Bottle. Hoppy and a little fruity, with some sweet malty aroma and flavors. A little bitter, but good enough.

Bottle. Pretty good, but standard. Malty, and some bitterness. Decent and nothing to call home about

Considerable malts for an APA. The malts are mostly dry but there is a touch of sweetness. Fairly roasty in the flavor, suggesting a dryer stout rather than a pale ale. The hops are on the light side. It has a little more bite than an amber ale but still fairly easy going, and the hops that are there build on the dry malt base of the beer. It looks good enough; light red and a thin layer of foam.

Clear copper color with a medium creamy off-white head. Sweet malty, slightly fruity aroma. Sweet fruity flavor, with some caramel in the end.

Lots of creamy off white foam ride on top of this almost black, garnet tinged dark brown beer. Brown sugar aroma. Heavy sweet caramel/brown sugar flavor. Liquid Sugar Babies. Slightly over carbonated. Too sweet and one dimensional for me, but this is an easy drinking beer than undeveloped palate would probably find quite enjoyable.

Dark burgundy pour, with decent, lasting, frothy head - aroma is mostly roasted malt, with some caramel and a touch of wood - tastes kind of like a so-so homebrewed abbey ale - some spice, caramel and dark fruit presence - but the body is thin, the finish watery, and the alcohol far too evident throughout - the sweetness is almost artificial, aspartame-like - not all that good.

Very deep, red-chestnut beer with brownish small head. Very aromatic nose with C-hops, grapes, grapecake, chocolate, wood and tannines. Higher alcohols, heavy sweetness, but filtered by a hopsflavour. Chocolate, dry hops, dried grapes (rather than sultana’s), lipsmacking stickyness, but at the same time dry hoppiness to round off. Very well-bodied, rather Imperial than Brown. Extremely nice beer. It’s definitely not overpowering as an Imperial Barley Wine, but gratifying rather. Even when the beer was not served in ideal circumstances. Again big thanks to eyedrinkale and mkobes.

Bottled. Very dark ruby - near black, aveage head. Grapefruity nose. A tarry flavour jumps in my face at first sip. Near full bodied with clean mouthfeel. Licorice dominates. A very extrovert beer with direct, sharp flavours and inky finish.

Bottled. Dark ruby red colour, mediumsized white head. Bready, grassy, ,caramellish, a bit dull "old homes" aroma. Still very interesting. Flavour is roasted malts, alcohol, caramel and coffee. Fullbodied and very complex. Strong alcohol in finish.

Pour is a dark red with a white head. Aroma is hoppy and cinnamon. Flavor is chocolate and molasses with a slight alcohol burn at the end. Nothing really special or great.
