Almost black color. It has the aroma of the coffee brewed in the office. And the flavor too. Just a bit sweeter, less dry, maybe more fruity. Very common.

Nice dark amber color. There is some malt aroma. Medium-round mouthfeel, with some sweetish malt and caramel flavor, balancing bitterness, but as the other beers here, not many emotions; and there is a light sour touch, as if they don’t sell enough and the tap has been open too long...

Golden color, nice lace. Very light caramel aroma. It has a smooth caramel flavor and a correct bitterness, but too little interest, for example the hops barely find their way through. Undaring.

Beautiful, clean amber color. Some caramel aroma. It has a medium sweet flavor, that strangely reminds me a watered Barley Wine; soft mouthfeel; good bitterness, ending with the correct mix of caramel too. Good.
