Pour is a cloudy orange with a white head. Aroma is hops. Flavor is a a very malty pale ale. So malty i can’t really get any hops. My advice, cut down on a bit of malt and increase the hops. This one needs some work.

This one came in my beer club. I am totally unfamiliar with the brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a dark brown color with a medium sized brown head. The aroma is very strong with roasted malt and has a hint of smoke. The flavor is roasted malt and has a rather strong smoke presence. It was surprisingly dry for an oatmeal stout.

This beer is a dark brown color with a medium thick and foamy light tan head. Thin rings of lacing. The aroma is pretty good, roasted coffee and malt. Medium-bodied but watery at times. Roasted malt, coffee and chocolate flavors. The finish has a pretty steady bitter hops flavor and lingers well. Aside from the watery aspect this is a pretty good Porter.

Bottled. Copper colour. Aroma of toffee and paper. Sweet with lots of caramel. Light to medium bodied with clean but rounded mouthfeel. Salty finish with low bitternes. Well balanced.

2004 bottle. Large butter colored head on top of a solid black body, with dark chestnut brown highlights, and a small amount of sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Aroma could be the crowning achievment of this beer. It’s just a flat out fresh, real oat aroma, with light maple, pecans, roast and butter cream. The oats are delectable to the last drop; aroma wise, that is. As far as the flavor, it is good and oaty, with notes of coffee and heavy roast, but it suffers from too much astringency and oily dryness. Not nearly as much sweet malt as I would prefer, to hold up the body, and a bit too much sharpness. Little to no hops, perky carbonation, medium body. Light chocolate finish.

Pour is a almost black. Can still see through it when held up to light. Aroma is roasted malts with some chocolate. Flavor is chocolate with a stong coffee aftertaste. Middle of the road porter. Nothing that will knock your socks off but worthy of a taste.

Clear dark gold with a miniscule white head. Next to no lacing. Smells like those packets of mixed fruit jelly you can find at Bob Evans. Light-bodied and bubbly with a fruity flavor. Faint hops as well, but that is about all. The finish is berry-y and short. Not really a noteworthy beer.
