Pleasant, if unremarkable milk stout. Nice sweetness and body

Ooh, not my thing. Pure fruit, almost cloying. No tartness whatsoever.

Weird powdered-fruit like beer. Tastes a little better than Redd but this is not a beer to put on your to-do list Colombia. Pours pink ok head and lacing. Finishes sweet and slightly astringent. Bottle.

More like a light English Strong ale. Has roast malt, booze and a touch of coffee. Similar to a brown ale as well, though not very hoppy. Pours clear mahogany with good head and lacing. Finishing with light sweetness. Bottle from store in Poblado, Medellin.

Best I’ve had from these guys so far. Lightly-hopped session pale ale with a little malt in aroma as well. This will be by go-to at the hostel in Medellin I think. Pours clear amber with ok head and lacing. Finishes bitter and sour. On tap at Casa Kiwi hostel in Medellin.
