Plus a bight mahogany with little head. Aromas of old socks, earthy Belgian yeast, died fruit and toasted malts. Flavors of dried apricots, dark fruity esters, a bit of caramel and toasted malts.

473mL can’t pours black with a small beige head. Aroma has a nice toasty character, almost roasty, with crusty dry bready and some earthiness. Flavour is fairly tame, with clean toasted malt, a hint of nuttiness, and earthy dry bready crusts. Clean and reasonably made. Decent but boring, even for the style.

473 m can. Pours a pale hay color with light head. Aromas of corn syrup, a bit of cardboard, lemons and grain. Muted flavors of same; mostly grain. Not inspiring, but drinkable and refreshing if ice cold.

473mL can. Pours black with a beige head. Crisp pine, resin, and toasted malts on the nose. Flavour has a great resinous hop expression, crisp pine, and a toasty malt base. Solid black IPA.

473mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has a nice bold roasted malt character, along with robust earthy hops, and some pine. Flavour is fairly bitter and dry, with tons of dry toasted malt, touch of roast, and big bitter piney hops. Nice bitter and toasty finish. Great stuff.

Dark brown. Medium head. Aroma is all about the roast and pine. Bitter, off-dry, with just some toffee notes to balance some of the toastiness. Finishes with a whack of pine.

Pale, some haze. Medium head. Bright hop with peach and pear notes. Fruity, stewed peaches, pear, lychee, big fluffy malt, lots of alcohol. Damn good for style. Balanced bitterness.

Pale, very slight haze, tart, some lemon, finishes somewhat saline. Basic gose, seems like kettle sour, which is suboptimal.

473 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with light head of big bubbles. Aromas of chocolate syrup, cherry liqueur and slick roasted malts. Flavors of kirsch/alcohol, dark chocolate, straight sugar, a bit of vanilla, and oily roasted malts. Alcohol forward; needs a bigger malt base with additional chocolate and vanilla to meet the mark.

Dullish gold. Medium head, but it died fairly quickly. Medium bitterness, some cheesy saazy stuff in there, which is a problem because it's Nelson and Rakau. This must be a museum piece. Malts are okay, the bitterness isn't bad. Wish I'd have found this one a bit fresher.
