On tap at Darby's, pours a deep dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of Christmas spices and a bit of cocoa. Flavour is very spicy, with nutmeg, some ginger, maybe a little cinnamon, and a touch of cocoa. Too spicy and not enough cocoa. Not so great.

Murky orangey brown body and good solid foam. Nice sweet orange aroma, slight creamsicle character though a little subdued. Flavour is bitter earthy orange with some smokiness, lingering sweetness. Bitterness leads to a mediocre aftertaste. That bitterness doesn't help here and defeats the creamsicle vibe.

Murky carbonated brown body and okay foam. Kind of an orangey biscuity caramel smell. Flavour is bitter orange zest, slight citrus, earthy leather. Full and oily but this isn't what I look for in an old fashioned. Rating #100 for Storm Brewing anyway!

Muddy orange body and decent enough foam. I smell tomato, sweet hops, a tiny bit of grain. Flavour is more tomato, dog hair, vague graininess. Okay finish, crisp but a bit of dog hair. I dunno, I prefer cheese and pepperoni on my pizza.

Nice dark brown body and okay foam, sweet biscuit and cinnamon on the nose. Flavour is molasses and cola, chewy biscuit. Nice finish but could be more thick. Still a good winter warmer.

Poured from 473mL can (ABV listed at 8%). Dark brown with minimal off white head. Lots of vanilla, some whiskey, mild chocolate notes, alcohol mostly hidden. Has some nice flavours, but not especially robust in complexity.

Cloudy orange body and modest foam, good snappy lemon zest on the nose. Flavour is more snappy lemon, soft wheat grain. Crisp mouthfeel, tart lemon finish. Nice, fun, enjoyable.

Great lime on the nose, muddy brown body and good foam. Flavour is more lime melded with grain. Dry finish. Good balance between citrus and grain here.

Very good foam on cloudy orange body, nice lime spritzer aroma. Flavour is soft pilsner grain, chewy malt, good lime infusion. Lingering lime and dry finish. Really nice, perfect for this hot late summer day.
