Deep pitch dark brown coloured body with a frothy, one centimetre tall light brown head with only a little brown showing when held up to the light. Aroma of cookies, oatmeal, roasted malt, coffee, alcohol, oak and a bit of earth - potent. Full-bodied; Pungent roasty, oatmeal and lightly spiced flavour shows strong at first, but covers the whole palate well with a little alcohol, a lot of sweetness and a good complex flavour that is actually not cloying nor overly potent - a perfect combination. Overall, one of the best oatmeals I’ve had - a perfectly rounded beer with great strong flavours but not too potent and even showing a light hop bitterness on the finish - great! Definitely one to sample if you can find this at all! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Liquor Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 08-May-2011 sampled at home in Washington on 06-July-2011.

Nice crisp, slightly hazy copper coloured body with a nice tan head that fades relatively fast. Aroma of grapefruit, floral hops, light malt and a bit of a grassiness. Medium-bodied; Floral and grassy bite at first from the hops with a bit of grapefruit coming through afterwards and a good balance of malt, but a definite herbal kick from the hops. Aftertaste is a bit one-dimensional, but that’s fairly typical for the style and the tastes are squarely on the hops. Overall, a decent IPA, nothing spectacular, but not a bad example.

This pours cloudy dark yellow with a lasting, sticky white head. The aroma is pleasant herbal hops but is somewhat weak; not being very assertive. Lightly bitter; the flavor follows the aroma closely. This is good and easily drunk, but I would describe it as an excellent American Pale Ale because it just needs more to fall into IPA range.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of Cletus. Pours a clear deep amber with a small off-white head. Caramel, overripe fruit, herbal hoppiness. Solid body, carbonation is a little low, herbal and almost medicinal, again overripe fruit. Not that hoppy - actually even sweet in the finish with a tart touch. 170611
