Bottle: Poured a opaque black colored stout with a nice foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma is dominated by roasted coffee notes with dry undertones. Taste is also a nice enough mix between some roasted coffee and light black chocolate. Not the most complex beer but well enough brewed and easily drinkable. Body has light creamy texture with good carbonation.

4.9/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
Bottle: Poured a light red/amber color ale with a medium foamy head with average retention and not much lacing. Aroma of dry caramel malt with light cereal notes and some residual sugar. Taste is also dominated by dry caramel malt with light sweet notes and no discernible hops. Body is a bit light with OK carbonation. Decent but a bit too bland to be truly interesting even as a session beer.

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Bottle: Poured a clear deep brown color ale with a off-white foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma consists of medium sweet caramel malt with light nutty finish. Taste is also a nice enough mix between some well balanced sweet caramel malt with light nuttiness and no discernable hops presence. Body is a bit light with good carbonation. Not bad but not s style that I have any passion for.

5.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 6
Bottle: Poured a light pinkish color ale with a medium size foamy head with average retention and light lacing. Aroma of light raspberry with some enhance syrup is not the most exciting; wheat malt do no play a big role in this beer. Taste is also dominated by light raspberry notes with a subtle tart profile with a light background of raspberry syrup and a bland malt profile. Body is a bout average for style with medium carbonation. Mediocre offering from a brewer that is known to brew better beer.

7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Bottle: Poured a clear light amber color ale with a medium foamy head with good retention and surprisingly very good lacing. Aroma of light caramel malt with a semi-dry finish is OK. Taste is also dominated by some caramel malt with not much in terms of other characteristics. Average body with good carbonation. Very easily drinkable but well done for the style.

5.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
Bottle: Poured a clear light copper color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry caramel malt with unrefined grain. Taste is dryer then expected with some caramel malt and a somewhat unpleasant unrefined grain malt. Body is about average with good carbonation. Easily drinkable though somewhat too dry for my taste.

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Bottle: Poured a a clear black color ale with nice dirty foamy head with good retention and good lacing. Aroma of citrus hops is quiet dominant with some very subtle roasted malt. Taste is also a nice mix between some citrus and bitter hoppy notes with some roasted notes and light caramel notes as well. Body is about average with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very well done and something I would drink often if I had easy access.
