Bit hazy, thin head, hasn’t really got much aroma. Sweet, has a touch of sticky malt...doesn’t really have the hops I’m looking for in this style.

Golden-amber, thin head, sweet sticky golden syrup malts...nice, but nothing like a dubbel. Soft, again a touch sticky, but also showing some plastic and a little bit of ester.

Slight haze, bubbly head, has a nice grapefruit hop, bitter, sticky malts with a fair bit of crystal. Balanced, clean, well made mid-2000s IPA.

Gold, bright, big pale malt nose, slightly grassy. Medium bitterness, grassy hops. The malt os quite prominent so thinking Bavarian. But in that context, a good example.

Draught at the brewery. Hazy and pale, has a stewed fruit element, has a hit of that overripe papaya.

Slight haze, thin head. Light amber. Has a mellow estery quality, and on the palate that sticky plastic phenol stuff is prevalent. Ok, nothing too special.

On tap at Stoup, pours jet black with a small brown head. Aroma brings out roasted malt, light hops, and dry espresso. Flavour is rich and robust, with loads of espresso, roasted malt, and some dry cocoa. Thick-bodied with good balance. Excellent.

On tap at Stoup, pours jet black with a small light brown head. Aroma brings out lots of roasted malt and piney hops. Flavour is wonderfully balanced, with piney hops, roasted malt, and dry espresso. Robust and impeccably balanced. Excellent.
