Draught (nitro) at the brewpub. Black, creamy nitro head. Vague chocolate aroma. Fairly dry with clean creamy mouthfeel. The nitro weaves a layer around the flavours, making sure nothing interesting is allowed to reach your tastebuds. I get to sense traces of chocolate and other interesting stuff, but all is so vague that it’s no fun.

Draught at the brewpub. Black. Coffee aroma. Fairly sweet. There’s plenty of grapefruity hops to go with the malt derived coffee and licorice flavours. Balanced bitterness. A really good porter!

Draught at the brewpub. Clear brownish amber. Strong grapefruity hop aroma. Sweet with powerful hoppiness. Bittering ops takes the front seat, the malt is trying to hang on. It goes near inky towards the finish. Even though it’s far from as good as theire regular IPA, it very much comes out with it’s pride intact.

Draught at the brewpub. Hazy pale amber. Vast lychee/grapefruit aroma. Dryish with gently soft mouthfeel. Plenty of juicy hops dominate until the massively bitter finih sets in. Despite the hops it’s very drinkable. A world class IPA! I’m hard pressed to remember any IPA I liked this much!

Draught at the brewpub. Clear dark brown. Fruity perfumy mango aroma. Very sweet wih plenty of hops. These hops, together with the syrupy sweetness makes it inky and harsh. Resiny, very bitter finish. A promising aroma, but it’s all downhill from there.

Draught at the brewpub. Muddy yellow. Aroma of banana and toffee. Sweet with somewhat syrupy mouthfeel. Low carbonation. Plenty of banana character. Flavourwise it’s very good, but it feels a bit young and raw.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear deep golden. Lightly citric nose. Sweet and malty with rounded mouthfeel. A refreshing easy drinking beer with some character of its own. It works for me.
