Pours a light gold with a rather small and unfizzy head. Aroma is light and a little bready. Taste is kind of bready with a very mild hoppiness and a very mild sweetness. A beer that you can either take or leave. Smooth though.

Bottle pours a clear deep chestnut with a small but creamy light tan head leaving thin wispy persistant lacing. Lots of caramel malt aroma with over ripe apples, cinnimon and alcohol. Flavor is not as interesting. Some of those sweet caramel malts afgain but slightly sour and woody. The Belgian yeast flavors are prominant but balace with everything well.Slight alcohol notes and a nice smooth palate. Very softly carbonated and a late trailer of ash.

It has a pale amber body witha head that descends neither quickly nor slowly. Smells like pine needles and hops. Actually, this is probably the piniest beer that I have ever smelled. Taste is pretty much straight hops... unlike other IPAs, this one is not really fruity at all. Dry and nutty on top of that. A nice and drinkable IPA... worth drinking another one methinks.

Pours and amber body with a quickly descending head. Normal fruity aroma. The first thing you realize while drinking this beer is how thick-bodied it is. Then you wonder why it has the taste of a dubbel or european strong lager (I am not sure what that taste is, but I know those two varieties have it). Maybe it is the Belgian hops? It is kind of on the bitter side of things and a bunch of hops hop about. Interesting.

So it pours a light brown with a slightly off white head that moves away at a moderate pace. Definitely smelled a lot of toffee in the aroma with a little bit of booze for good measure. Taste is that good old banana with some alcohol on top. Maltiness is there a little bit and so is some caramel. It is sweet, but not one of the really sweet dubbels. Not too bad.

Cloudy orange-brown body, thick cream head. Big, dark yeast chunks swirled in my glass...delicious. Big bready, caramely aroma, backed by dusty esters and warming alcohol. Rather simple body, offering dry caramel and toast, spicy bitter esters, crackers, and alcohol. Not very sweet. Definitely had a brandy-like oxidized characteristic to it. Bitter finish. Smooth, good, but not great.

Bottle from JB175; Nose of coffee, chocolate, and vanilla; clear walnut color with a medium tan head; flavor of coffee, cherries, and chocolate from the medium thin body, with a light but bitter hop finish. Thin but more complex than some porters.

Tap. Strong malt aroma with light sweet cherry tones. Reddish amber color with small head. Sweet malt and moderate piney hops flavor and high carbonation. Nicely blended. A nice easy drinking beer.

Bottle, at csbosox KC tasting 4/14. Pour is brown, with highlights of amber. Aroma is fairly tame, though it bit of the espresso comes through. Taste is roasted malt, and a but hot (alcohol). I was expecting bigger espresso profile to this one, though I preferred it as it was.

Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Clear dark amber, minimal head. Peachy nose. very dry and lightly appley, fairly light bodied. Kind of bland for an IPA and with disturbing green apples. Finishes with medium bitterness.
