A deep red beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of berries and a faint note of diacethyl. The flavor is sweet fruity, but also the faintest note of diacethyl. The mouthfeel is very smooth.

A hazy red beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of berries and diacethyl. The flavor is of diacethyl and fruit, combined with a light note of citrus, and with a dry bitter toffee end. Served too cold - is that to hide the diacethyl?

A pitch black beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of roasted malt and light chocolate. The flavor is chocolaty to start out and towards the end it becomes more roasted. The mouthfeel is very smooth due to it being served on nitrogen.

A mahagony colored beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of muscat nuts, fruits, and other nuts. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of toffee, but also light notes of citrus and fresh hops. It prickles the tongue lightly.
Ungstrup (52110) reviewed Pagan Porter from Oliver Brewing Co. 19 years ago
Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5
A red-brown beer with a thin beige head - too light in color for a Porter. The aroma is sweet malty with a light roasted note. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of caramel, but also light notes of butterscotch, the combination makes the mouthfeel a bit sticky and cloying.

Appearance - 2 | Aroma - 4 | Flavor - 2 | Texture - 2 | Overall - 1.5
A light yellow beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is almost non-existing - maybe due to the fact that it is served very cold - the only note I can pick up is a faint malty one. The flavor is lightly malty with notes of vanilla, and the body is thin. Not my cup of tea.
Ungstrup (52110) reviewed Irish Red from Oliver Brewing Co. 19 years ago
Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 4 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5
A hazy red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of berries - I find to too light. The flavor is sweet with quite a lot of lemon, but also light notes of berries as well as hints of wood towards the end, which is bitter and hoppy. Nothing special.

A hazy orange beer with an off-white head. The aroma has light notes of citrus and fruit - a bit boring. The flavor has notes of citrus, fruit - peaches, and lighter notes of toffee. The mouthfeel is very creamy and smooth.

[Cask at The Wharf Rat, Baltimore] A hazy orange beer with a light orange head. The aroma is very lightly fruity. The flavor is fruity with peaches and ornages standing out, but also with a slight note of diacethyl, leading to a dry bitter finish. The mouthfeel is very smooth. I find it a bit boring - especially when their Best Bitter is so nice.
Ungstrup (52110) reviewed Best Bitter from Oliver Brewing Co. 19 years ago
Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5
[Cask at the Wharf Rat, Baltimore] A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet and rather hoppy. The flavor has a delicious fresh light citrus note on a crisp malt background, leading to an end with a good bitterness, but the body is a bit thin.
