Brown color with small tan head. Aroma of coffee, a bit of fruits, chalk. Taste is weirdly balanced towards fruitiness and chalkiness. Not as watery as many stouts. Okay, but does not live up to Bier Factory’s standards.

BOTTLE 33 CL from Bov. The aroma is nice and complex, a interplay between hops and black malts - aromatic herbs, dill pickles, some lemon zest and just a touch of tropical fruit on one hand, and cold coffee roast on the other. Not much sweetness, but you can still pick up some licorice. The taste is a somewhat simple and pretty stouty. No, the hop flavours are there, but the roasty toasty and hoppy bitterness totally dominate the dry body. The finish is dry bitter with a touch of salt. Good, but not great.

Cloudy amber color, small head. The aroma is a bit yeasty, and fruity. Highly carbonate, light residual sweetness, no honey, a bit metallic finish.
Honey is never a good idea for beer.12

Black color, small head. Good Black IPA, but it’s a bit too dry and carbonated; it’s also fairly yeasty.

Dark brown color with small beige head. Aroma is stouty: roasted malts, a subtle hoppiness. Taste is fresh, bitter chocolate, more roasted malts and with a bit of a bitterness in the finish. A bit weak in the taste. Smooth carbonation. Decent, but not my kind of beer.

Orange-amber color with big white head. Sweet and hoppy aroma, but very fruity. Incredible aroma. Not complex, but very good. Taste is sweet fruits, peaches, Light body, but oily honey mouthfeel. Sweet finish. The fruity taste matches the sweetness nicely. Smooth carbonation. Bitterness is low. Straightforward taste, but very lecker.

Ruby-orange color with big head. Aroma of sweet fruits, peaches, my guess is Simcoe. Grapefruit as well. Taste is very fruity-sweet and oily, with a dry bready malt body. Solid bitter finish. A nice IPA with not much residual sweetness and body, but lots of fruity sweetness. The bread reminds me of some other Swiss brews. Medium carbonation. Not bad but not too distinct either. Still - a good one!

Orange color with medium head. Aroma hops, citrus, tangerine and spicy yeasts in the nose, taste is bittersweet and boozy, with a nice sweet finish. Full-bodied and juicy. A nice one, but kinda boozy.
