Bottle. Aroma of mixed berries. Hazy reddish amber color with a flat white head. Thin to medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is mostly berry, and it’s lightly sweet. Wheat is hidden and there’s not a trace of hop. Sort of near crisp. Refreshing in its way.

Bottle. Smells more like pale lager than weiss - definitely not like hefeweissen. Dark gold color with a very flat white head. Thin to medium body with fizzy carbonation. Flavor is wheat with a light touch of honey. Perhaps mild amount of grassy hop. Finish is rather bland. I’ll go with "light, crisp and slightly sweet".

Bottle. Caramel aroma without noticeable hop. Reddish amber color with a flat white head. Near medium body with almost creamy carbonation. Flavor is caramel somewhat balanced by grassy hop. More interesting than a pale lager. Finish tends towards dry, but not a great deal of bitter there. Drinks well.

Bottle. Aroma of pale malt with some grassy hop. Dark gold color with no head at all. Near medium body with decent carbonation. Flavor is a little grainy, and there is enough grassy hop to make an impression. Finish is about the same, but the hop builds up a little bitter. Not bad.

Bottle. Pours a golden with a small head. Aroma of lime, wheat, and lemon. An actually pleasant sweetness to this one, which I must admit I was shocked about. I *could* drink this beer and enjoy it.

Bottle. Pours a reddish (I guess berry) color. Aroma of sweet fruit, cherry cooladeish. Flavors of a black cherry pop... but not as sweet. Hmm... It’s actually not bad.

12oz Bottle Pours out a cloudy yellowish orange topped with a white head. Aroma of lemons and orange. Tast not to bad lemons and light malts. I think this would be ok after a day of yard work.

Bottle courtesy of Grub: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a medium dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with loads of sweet notes. Taste is also dominated by some sweet cloying notes with some light notes of black chocolate and coffee. Full body with oily texture and good retention and no apparent alcohol. I think I am going against the grain on this one but I just can’t like these super sweet imperial stout; I prefer them when they are more balance with coffee and black chocolate.

Pours with a fizzy, white head with a fruity pebbles aroma with some clove and ornange peel. Head goes away quickly, but the lacing stays for a while. Murky yellow body, not an amazing taste. Pretty dry and fizzy.

Re-rate, bottle from Daknole, tasted at home
Looks inky and very dark brown in my Cigar City snifter. Aroma is, well, burnt fruit, with some tarry molasses notes...rich and I can see why people dig it. Flavour is sweet, palate relatively simple with oversweetened harsh espresso. Molasses-like finish. Overall, this brew is simplistic, hitting a few basic impy notes, and doing so with at least a modicum of style. However, it lacks dimension and nuance relative to the superior examples. 4-7-6-2-11 =3.0
First rate, Brouwer’s
Dark, tarry appearance. Somewhat thin body is tarry, oily, with black malt notes. Chewy, very much burnt fruit on the nose. Late heat. Really, it’s a starter impy, where they’ve held back on the good stuff quite a bit. 6-4-5-2-10 = 2.7
