At the brewery: Pours brownish with an off-white head. Aroma is bitter and sweet. In fact, it tastes like an IPA past its prime, but with the hop bitterness still intact. The flavor profile on these hops is not exactly that exciting. Some bitter aftertaste. To me this tastes like something that they should have kept experimenting with prior to putting on the market.

At brewery: Pours copper with a white head. Aroma is mild amounts of citrus. Taste is somewhat bitter and hoppy, but at the low end of APAs. Nice aftertaste. Subtle and subdued, but good enough.

At the brewery: Pours brown with an off-white head. Aroma is dark fruits and hints of caramel, vanilla, and bourbon. Taste is slightly sweet with really subtle barrel aging hints coming through. This was a smooth and mellow Scotch ale (far from authentic to style...), which was easy to drink and kind of restrained.

At the brewery: Pours black with a tan head. Aroma is coffee beans and a whole lot of them (even though they do not put coffee into this). Anyway, the taste is slightly bitter coffee. They said this was an Irish dry stout, but this is definitely a much more American Stout. That said, I liked it.

Brewery: Golden with a white head. Aroma is very herbal and has notes of sesame seeds or peanut butter. Taste is slightly hoppy and quite dry. Interesting, but not particularly outstanding.
