Bottle, 3.9%. Horrible burnt plastic aroma. Hazy golden colour with floaties. Plastic beer from hell. The horror, the horror...

Bottle from Hogs Back Brewery shop. Black with thin dark beige head. Very nice stout. Lots of choc and sticky dark fruit on aroma. Juicy malt in mouth with more choc, prune, damson, blackcurrant in mouth and then satisfying drying finish. Great stout.

Bottle. An amber beer with a beige orange head. The aroma is sweet hoppy and flowery combined with notes of fruit. The flavor is sweet and quite hoppy combined with strong notes of fruit, before a dryness from the hops almost gives it a note of wood. In the end the alcohol makes its presence known.

Bottle. A clear yellow beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet and very flowery hoppy, and the flavor is also sweet and very hoppy, and also quite flowery, leading to a very bitter end. The body is thin. All in all I find it boring.

Bottle. A hazy orange beer with no head, inspite of it being very lively when opened. The aroma is sweet with powerful notes of orange as well as a good deal of hops, but also light notes fo coriander. The flavor is very sweet and quite wheaty combined with strong notes of oranges and some spicys - definately coriander, leading to a dry wheaty end.

A pitch black beer with a huge dense brown head. The aroma is sweet spicy and herbal, combined with light notes of caramel and chocolate. The flavor is very sweet with notes of slightly burnt caramel dominating, and the burnt notes also apear in the end.

A yellow beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is nicely hoppy and grassy, and the flavor is very fresh with crisp malt notes combined with a nice grassy hoppyness that also has a touch of lemon, and leads to a nice bitter end. Only drawback is that the body is somewhat thin - no wonder considering the 3.9% ABV, but for such a light beer, this has a lot of taste.
