Pour is a cloudy yellow with a huge white head. Aroma is vanilla and honey sweetness. Flavor is creamy but very watery. Nothing really going on here. Another bland brew from this brewer

Dark pour with minimal head that quickly dissolves. Aroma of coffee, chocoate on top of a slightly smoky note. The flavor is also one of coffree and chocolate with a slight sweet underbelly and a slightly bitter aftertaste. Body between thin and medium — too thin for an imperial. In fact, this tastes more like a porter than a Baltic porter with flavors too subdued.

Pour is a amber red with a nice hazyness. Aroma is very nice. Lots of malts and the hops really stand out. Flavor is slight citrus and some malts used. Overall kinda tasty and prob one of the best from this brewer.

Pour is a orange with no head at all. Aroma is hoppy and getting me in the mood for a good IIPA. All things good about this one stop there. Flavor is a very sweet caramel and no hops stand out what so ever. Very plain, watery and the alcohol got in the way at the end. I was so looking forward to this considering the packaging but I guess you can’t judge a beer by it’s cover.

A little light on the body for my taste, but otherwise an enjoyable porter. Aroma of caramel malts with hints of chocolate, nuts. Flavors of the toasted malts, chocolate, caramel with hint of nuts. Slight bitter notes behind all this.

Brought to marinaro500’s post-Thanksgiving gathering by BBB63. Deep brown body with some orangey-red highlights, thin light cream head. Nice deep roasted malt nose, definite lactose notes, and coffee (a coffee and cream feel). Flavor was nice but light with coffee, lactose, chocolate and light roasted malts. A tad sweet but too thin-bodied, surprising considering the relatively strong aroma.

A red brown beer with a light brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of coffee, alcohol, roasted malt, and some chocolate. The flavor is sweet on a dry background with notes of coffee, wood, chocolate, and alcohol. The finish is like bitter chocolate.

Pretty nice rendition of an ESB type ale. I found the balance between the hops and malt to be good and...it’s a nice beer with above average drinkability. And in the can, even.(Dale’s Pale rocks)
