Fond of dunkle, I was curious about this one. A little tart and yeasty on the nose. Looks like cloudy brown, not dark brown. Barely any co2 in there but what is there is rather creamy on the tongue. Easy and well mannered. Yes, friendly taste that comes across well. Just wish it had some more co2 in there. The spices are just right, no overpowering clove as with most beers of this variety. Yes, shades of the East End yest in there. No tartness in the flavor as indicated in the smell. Good overall beer experience.

First let me say that I detest this style but it was there, so i tasted it. If you like IPA, this is probably more like a 4 in your book, its terribly on style. Cloudy dirty yellow. Mild aroma of your favorite mates BO right after good sex, and that is a good thing. Not sure about what makes these recent hop varieties have that smell. Quite palatable at first but that just lulls you in. IT evolves into something more offensive IPA style. Yes, some taste bud roto-tilling going on here. I must say, if you like this style, put it on your bucket list. Nothing more impressive to the girlie tste buds than fresh wholesome sustainable IPA. A little easier for me to take than most IPA. Does not ever tread into the IIPA ranks.

Aroma of mild BO, but in a good way. Hoppy initially and it seems to be approaching IPA territory but never quite gets there. Yes, milds out during the session. Some co2 but not much. Not bad overall but could use a few more manners. Typical for this style.

Not much aroma but there seems to be a slight spicy yeast thing in the nose. Hazy light brown. Thin head. First taste is quite yeasty, wew, then taste goes hoppy and bitter. Astringent punch in the jaw. Yes, initially comes on like a stronger beldgy then it goes astringent into IPA territory. Some co2, Somewhat medicinal finish.

In the Zelie pub, nice small friendly place! Very nice dark pour. Some slight slaggy aroma laced with a tad of that roasted nose. Initially I think its well behaved and easy going. Does have enough of that beer thing happening to let you know its a beer. Yes, not bad overall. Small amount of co2 makes this a tad creamy. Just a little of that old wet burnt firewood thing happening. Fairly mild finish with no real ill effects.

Smell is quite hoppy. Taste is same and its a little sharp. This beer has some hops in there fer sure, like IPA. Orange and reddish in color. Some co2. Really comes across like an IPA. Leaves a long bitter finish in the back or yer throat. Nice lacing. Not fer me.

Initially rather mild and dull but that ends quickly. During the session it starts rather muted then becomes a little more refined and easier to appreciate. Decent co2 all round. Goes down fairly easy and becomes more fun as we go on. Smell is a little malty and slightly perfumy. Malty taste becomes a little sweet at the end.

Some smooth smelling BO on the olfactory, perhaps like your favorite mate’s. Creamy head. This is supposedly a pale ale but I’ve got to say, it borders on IPA territory. Yes, piercing IPA flavor. Perhaps a little milder than yer typical IPA but it still has a big bitter kick to it. Doesn’t hide the alky well. If you like IPA go for this, you will not be disappointed. Does have some co2 in there.

Big and black. Smells like impy stout. Yes, seems like impy stout on the toungue as well as some rude hints of IPA. Sometimes I have a hard time telling the difference between black IPA and impy stout, many of the same features. Rude, nasty negative nelllie, way too much for this lager lover. And so it it. Yes, typical imperial black beer for those who love this personality. Flat and mouth coating. IF there is co2 in there, its hard to feel thru the obnoxious IPA impact. Forward rude and long bitter finish. If you like this style, get it - you’ll like it

Smell is quite sweet and somewhat volatile. Nice and dark to the eye. Wew. quite strong on the palate, burns alittle. Yes, wew is the word. Almost like barley wine, the American wanna be style. A little cloying going down the gullet. Perhaps a little difficult for this lager lover. Towards the end becomes a little fruity fer sure. Quite flat. If you like strong beers, give this a try and ignore my reating.
