Nice deep brown body and good foam. Smells of really good tart floral yeast, soft raspberry and cocoa hints. Taste is a nice tart meld of fruit and cocoa, raspberry notes. Lingering tartness works in all the right ways. Working very well.

Murky brown cola body and very bad foam. Good sweet cocoa on the nose, vanilla hints, milk chocolate. Flavour is nice milky cocoa, chocolate and vanilla, but finishes way too thin. Okay carbonation, but this is jumbled and doesn't know what it wants to be.

Good medium clear copper body and nice foam. Kind of an odd mix of tomato, juniper, and carrot on the nose which ends up not too bad. Flavour is definitely caramel, juniper and hops jiving together, actually somehow ending up all right. Oily finish, an odd mix that somehow pulls it off.

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.
