Black colored, medium tan creamy head, rather lasting. Aroma is of malt, dark chocolate and coffee, milky lactose, some dark berries, roasty malt, Taste is medium sweet roasty malt, coffee, dark berries, lactose, some burnt notes, medium+ roasty bitterness, dryish finish with a lacto underlayer. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, bit creamy. Not as sweet as some, but more on the roasty bitter side, too much so even.

Hazy, golden-yellow colored, small white soapy head. Aroma is of wheat, yeasty, coriander, some orange notes, bready. Taste is medium sweet wheat, bready, some yeasty notes, coriander and light orange, spicy light bitterness, dryish bready finish. Light+ bodied, soft+ carbonation, bit watery. Maybe not the best Wit but pretty decent, a shame Sorachi doesn't break through that much.

Taste is medium+ sweet malt, caramel, plenty of estery notes, bit yeasty, light spice, even more diacetyl, medium spicy and herbal bitterness, some biscuit, bit of veggies also. Medium bodied, average carbonation, oily. Feels like something went awry in a generally OK brew.

Opaque dark brown, espresso head. Smells like dark crystal sugars, minimal cooking chocolate, some alcohol soaked prunes. No roasty, coffee, chocolate notes. Mundane, but passable. Similar taste - mostly dark sugars and alcohol, moderate hoppy bitterness. Not bad in a way - resembles those old style, macro-swallowed Baltic porters - but not up to the quality of modern micro impies.

Clear deep ruby, nice tan head - looks good. The aroma seems to have some nice caramel malts but there's just too much fresh green peas, pumpkin and zucchini over them. And it says there for very long. Taste: not very sophisticated (and not that sweet) caramel and dark fruit, but then the pungent and spicy earthy bitterness with notes smoking dried leaves makes you forget all the complaints. Rich, but dangerously easy drinking, alcohol well hidden. Like it.
