Bottle from ross - pours a very dark brown with no head to speak of - spent coffee grounds and burnt grains in the aroma, along with some earthy/woody notes and some caramel/toffee - lactose is very apparent, but a little too much is used to try and balance the roasted grains, making the beer a little cloying - thin mouthfeel - tastes like old coffee with too much sugar in it - not all that good.

kp’s Fest of 26. Ruby brown with an off-white head. Malty aroma , just a bit of alcohol. Rich, biscuity malt flavor. This could be one of the best underrated beers from the south at present.

[Bottled, my 7000th rating, thanks chris_o!] Near black, beige head. Aroma of coffee and corn flakes. Medium sweet with rounded creamy mouthfeel and rather light body. Plenty of butterscotch and a hint of metal. Boldly flavourful., but kind of unrefined.

Bottle provided by Willblake at the NYRBG. Been wanting to try this expectations were high. Poured pitch black with tan lacing. Aroma is very present - roast cofee, which is great BUT too much hops for me. Taste is similarly roast coffee mixed with hops. Dont like when brewers do this.

An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is light with notes of berries and caramel. The flavor is sweet and at first with a note of citrusy hops, before notes of caramel and nuts sets in, and then an OK bitter end takes over, to last for a decent time with a slight nutty note.

Hazy dark chestnut colour. Head rises huge but gently falls to a rich, inch-thick layer. Great aroma of fresh toasted grains, layers of chocolate malt and earth and an appetizingly dusty yeastiness. The body starts creamy then gets fizzier. This means the front is dominated by sweet but simple brown sugar & deglet noor-ish malts but the end features deep dark chocolate, mocha and bitter, rooty hop textures. As brawny and complex a brown ale as I’ve found that still remains true to the style.

Bottle. Cherry apple aroma initially that changes to a strong buttery caramel. Deep copper color with small head. Flavor a little hard to place - initially an odd spicy flavor - clove/pepper mix, metal and sour milk or fruit juice thats just started to turn at the finish - I am not a fan of the flavor at all. Don’t think I’ll be drinking this again.

Nearly black colour. Rich aroma is chocolatey, fruity, vinous, molassesy. Flavour is gentler, softened by a brown sugar note, but maintains an enticing complexity of molasses, milk chocolate and light winey notes. Creamy, full mouthfeel. Sweet, complex finish. Bloody good - I’d put this up against anyone’s porter.
