On tap at Hop & Barrel, pours s clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out resinous hops, lots of tropical stone fruits, and caramel. Very resinous and bursting with tropical fruit, finishing on notes of passionfruit and pineapple. Nicely constructed and pretty well-balanced. Great stuff.

On tap at Hop & Barrel, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with an amber tinge and a small tan head. Aroma brings out fresh earthy coffee upfront, with a touch of lactose, and faint cocoa. Flavour follows suit, with lactose, coffee and cocoa in good combination. The coffee wins out, with the lactose closely following. Pleasant stuff, but not a whole lot of depth.

On tap at Hop & Barrel, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out very restrained piney hops and a crisp biscuity malt backbone. Flavour is along the same lines, with bitter piney hops and a dry, crisp biscuity malt base. Quite bitter, without accompanying flavour profile depth. Okay.

On tap at Hop & Barrel, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of allspice upfront, with some light graininess. Flavour is bizarre, with a lot of that allspice dominating. It's clean enough, but I don't know why you'd want to drink this.
