(Can) Pours hazy red brown with good head with a red orange hint. Pleasant aroma. Fruity, maybe sour plums, with pine note. Good mouthfeel. Medium body with plenty of fine carbonation. Good taste too with a nice toffee malt backbone and plenty of hops. There’s herbal and pine notes throughout the palate. Good bitter finish. Very good, and rather unusual.

(Can) Pours clear amber with big white head. Lovely aroma with notes of orange, and hints of caramel and fresh wood shavings. Medium body and well carbonated. Great taste too. Plenty of hops from a fresh fruity start to a good bitter finish. There’s orange notes in the fruity start, and a nice backbone of caramel malt. Very good.

(Can) A fine looking beer - pours black with big tan head. Pleasant aroma - coffee, roast grain, notes of chocolate. Smooth, medium body, well carbonated. Great taste too. Plenty of bitterness, initially of a coffee, very dark chocolate, burnt sugar ilk, with a hoppy bitterness developing. Dark roast grain and a little dark toffee sweetness and some tart notes. Very enjoyable.

Day 20:

Nice hazy orange color with big soapy white foam that leaves loads of lacing behind. Soft candy and fruit aroma. Medium to full bodied with a semi-dry carbonation. The taste is sweet honeyed juicy candied mango. Quite nice.

Can. Very dark brown, beige head. Mocha aroma with some earth and spices. A little drier than guessed with roast going ahead of mocha and firmish spicy bitterness. Maybe a little red berry note. There is a definite trend towards stouts without crap in them this winter and I'm happy about it,
