Light copper body below short white head that quickly disappears. Nose is full of malts, grass, caramel, nuts. Strong malt signature in the taste as well. Light on the hops. Thin body with watery texture with moderate carbonation. Clean finish. Average.

Bottle Pours a deep redish brown with a small off white head and spotty lacing. Woody, earthy fairly sweet aroma. Flavor was similar woody carmel wioth some grassy bitterness. Very low on the hops, and a decent full palate. A nice example of a style that I like. Thanks Jordan

Dark brown. Nice nose - chocolate, coffee, lots of happy malts. Roasty with dark fruits on the palate. Sweet finish, just enough appetizing dryness. Nice stout.

Dark brown body with short, but frothy tan head. Plesant aroma of roasted malts, coffee and sweet chocolate. Flavor is full of roast and coffee with a sweet, toffee-like backbone. Notes of chocolate and licorice. Nice, bitter, clean and dry finish. Smooth texture, medium body. Well put together, enjoyable.

Bottle at Kookfest 2006. Very dark brown, lasting beige head. Hoppy aroma, too hoppy for a porter. Good charcoal in mouth, some sourness. Pretty good finish now tooo. Dryness on end. It gets better as it goes on.

This was a fairly average IPA with fewer interesting characteristics than this brewery’s American Pale Ale. Small white head atop a light yellow, clear body. The light hop aroma was mostly perfumey and the malts presented a nose of grain and straw. Lightly sweet in flavor with a moderate bitterness in the finish. The medium body had average carbonation and a slick texture.

Bottle at Kookfest 06. Amber colour, no head. Some hop, some herb. Malt is ok if a little candy sugarish. Bit like a French amber beer.

The nose is the best part of this beer. It’s full of citrus, orange, grapefruit, resin and celery. The pour yielded a small head and clear yellow/amber body. Its flavor was moderately bitter and could have stood a bit more sweetness. Moderate dryness in the finish which was dominated by bitterness. Medium body and comfortable mouthfeel. Average carbonation. Enjoyable.

Bottle from ross - the color and carbonation of this beer make it look almost exactly like a glass of coke (not very appealing) - aroma of minerals, lactose, weak coffee and a faint whiff of oatmeal - moderately hoppy and roasty - medium-dry, with a slight milky quality - light sweet cream, coffee and a hint of cocoa - slight caramel and chocolate malts linger for a while in the finish - not bad, but I would pass up a second helping.

Thanks to ross for this bottle - deep reddish-purple pour, with well-sustained, off-white head - nice smoke and peat presence, with hints of plum, chocolate and caramel, along with a fig-and-toffee, almost english barleywine aroma - the flavor is equal amounts dry and malty - dry cocoa and smokey qualities couple with medium caramel and chocolate malt swetness - light peat flavors - some gentle barleywine character from the aroma comes late to the flavor - slight alcohol warmth - a unique and tasty scotch ale - someone please send me some more!
