Can pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! It's a lightly hazy yellow-gold with decent sparkle, 3-finger white frothy foam head with good retention and trace lacing. Aroma is wheat, Belgian yeast, light funk. Taste is initial fruity esters moving to yeasty/funky tart/bitter mix. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and crisp, dry finish as taste. Overall, pretty true to the style. Doesn't really excite me.

Can pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! Appearance is cloudy brown with nice sparkle, 2-finger width off-white foamy head with excellent retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is lemony citrus and pine; background grain. Taste follows aroma along with prevalent bitterness. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation, nice mild alcohol warmth and finish as taste with dry, lingering bitterness. Overall, good representative of the style. Haven't had in a while so sort of nice to have again but there's a reason I don't seek this out. Just OK.

16 oz. can in a trade with johnnnniee. Thanks for the chance. Aroma a soft coffee and roasted malt. Flavor shows weak coffee, mild roast, subtle roasted barley. Body is a little lean but appropriate for the gravity.

Can pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! Appearance is opaque black (dark brown at the bottom of the glass) with no sparkle, 2-finger rocky foam beige head with excellent retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is strong earthy roasted malts, mild sweet toffee. Taste follows aroma of earthy, dry roasted malt. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation with late lively zing, crisp, dry finish as taste with mild lingering bitterness. Overall, European stout. Earthy roasted bitterness not my favorite but decently made.

Can from the source. Lightly hazy dark yellow almost gold in color with a thin bubbly white head that slowly dissipates. Earthy light spice with a bready honey like maltiness. Light funk, pretty good brew.

Can from the source. Just a touch of haze in a deep amber beverage with a frothy off white head that persists. Big bready toasty and light caramel maltiness against a firm citrus and resinous hop assault. Tasty old school feel in this brew.

Can from the Source Dark brown with hints of garnet and respectable clarity with a decent sized frothy off white head that slowly recedes. Ashy chocolate and hints of roast and caramel with some light fruit and earth to counter.

Can from the source. Crystal clear dark brown with garnet at the edges and a frothy off white head that slowly recedes. Caramel and roast with a hint of dark cherry and some light earthy roasty notes. Pretty nice dry stout.
