Dark with a deep brown head. Aroma is dark malts, chocolate, lightly roasted malt, earthy hops. Medium bodied. Flavor has mild sweet chocolate, roasted malt, earth, some molasses. Didn’t notice the 7% alcohol in this one. Real nice porter and one I’m glad I have the rest of a six pack to finish.

Orange with a white head. Pine hops in the aroma with mild sweet malts, citrus, too. Medium body. Flavor has more of the pine and citrus with some light malts. Was expecting a bit more powerful finish but it sort of lacked- the only thing this beer didn’t excel at. Very nice IPA.

12oz can poured into a plastic cup. Oodles of points for probably the best beer name ever. Otherwise, pours with a brown thick head. Its a good porter, roasted, not bitter, slightly milk. Some American hops peaking through but not entering Cascadian territory, just low alpha acids, perfect. Well attenuated, very drinkable. Apparently, they use some specialty Belgian malts in this, nice touch. They did a great job with this, a nice beer for the proletarian Eugene in all of us.

341mL can, bonus'd generously by cstromberg (thanks a lot, Chris). Pours a cloudy golden with a medium white head. Aroma is full of piney hops and citrus zest, and various tropical fruits (pineapple comes to mind). Flavour is characterized by tropical fruits and citrus zest upfront, before transitioning to fairly bitter piney hops which linger on the palate. Fruity upfront, with dry zestiness later on. Great IPA.

12 oz. can from De Bierkoning @ home. Dark golden to orange color. Off white sticky head, short retention. Aroma’s: a resin punch, citrus, some malt in the background with some acidity. Retronasal it’s more citrussy, fruity, but still resin as well. Flavor is actually rather mild, somewhat malty, just a hint of bitterness & acidity. Body is medium, soft carbonation. Finishes still hop-aromatic but with just little bitterness which is a bit disappointing after the ultra hoppy aroma.
