Little dark cream head over deep cola-coloured beer. Sweet nose, with Bourbon, vanilla, strong booze, and already giving a warm impression. Liquorice, even some Maillard and cooked into emptiness. Sweet syrup, bit of Bourbon and cola. Alcohol, thin texture, undercarbonated. The cooking overtime has wrecked itself. It's empty, Maillard to the exclusion of anything else.

Draught @ the brewpub Fluffy, whipped eggwhite-like head over hazy ochre-orange beer. Very outspoken C-hops' nose, bit peppery aroma, citrus in different forms (grapefruit, lime,...) Taste is a 'sweet version' of the nose, the citrusfruit + a bit of orange, watermelon and peach. Faint human sweat. Very light, well-carbonated. Very nice nose.

Fluffy, dense snowwhite head over veiled orangey golden beer. Bot sulphury, rubbery aroma, on top of other grains. Juniper branches and wheat, white pepper. Other graons wheat, spices. Sweet undercurrent, pepper - only as flavour, absolutely no heat. Light, grainslick, very well-carbonated. Nice.

Small, reasonably stable white head over not very carbonated clear golden beer. White wine, peach, light citrus, white grape. Honey (very prominent), sweetened white wine, sweet juicy peach and grains, even other grains in the finish. Slick, light body, very much more carbonated on the mouth than visible. Nice, but a little bit more complexity could be achieved compared to some other IGA's.

Huge, lightly yellowish head over stoll, clear yellow-copper beer. Nice if short hoppy nose, with a lot of graindust, smells as in a grainloft. Again grains, dry, with a rainwater solution of hoppellets. Light, bit slick. Alcohol absence is very clear. OK. For a nablab.

Draught @ the brewpub Very good, dense & fine yellow- cream head over dark amber, veiled beer with lively carbonation. Rings of lace. Quite nutty nose, bit of chocolate, bread & parsley. Again nutty, bready, milk chocolate, dark grains, wholemeal bread, wheat, light banana. Light to medium bodied, quite slick, good carbonation. Decent.

Draught @ the brewpub Good dense head, off-white, over faintly hazy amber beer. Nice herbal, leafy, grassy nose wih an extra toasted, sweet caramel aroma. Sweet, perfumey, but the finish is bitterish-metallic. Again dry caramel. Medium bodied, quite slick, good carbonation. Leafy aftertaste. Nice Bock, grew on me.

Small yellowish, stable head over clear chestnut beer. Smoke, roast, charred chestnuts, ham, meaty esters. Sweet roast, again roasted chestnut. Some faint, almost fruity esters. Light body! Very slick. Bit light for a Bock, IMHO. Light, but pretty wholesome Rauch.

Draught @ the brewpub Very dense, stable white head over pale, lightly coloured golden beer. Very inviting lemony/citrussy and mineral nose, extremely clean. One moment one is convinced drinking a soft drink, then a broadening sets in, resulting in way more depth. Citrus, hint of salicylic acid. A hint of exotic citrus fruit, yuzu with coriander. Light, refreshing, soft carbonation. Indeed, a truly inspiring Gose, as I was warned.
