This stout poured a deep black colour with a creamy, deep brown head. Head so thick it almost won’t move. Scents include cocoa, raspberry, black toast and a little smoke. First swig was smooth and creamy with flavours of raspberries, dark chocolate, cake and burnt toast. Finish is well burnt with bitter, dark cocoa flavours lingering.

This DIPA poured a cloudy, dark amber colour with a minimal, white, soapy head. Nice lacing. Scents include candy, ripe fruit, alcohol and a little pine. First swig was a little odd tasting. Flavours of pineapple, tea, and a little overripe citrus. Finish is bitter with ripe fruit barely able to surface past the hops. Too bitter for this couple…
