Dark brown.. Has some light roast and almost creamy vanilla notes on the nose. On the palate, it mixes chocolate sweetness with stinging roast and moderate hops. Not bad beer - not at all foreign, very American, but not bad stout.

Light chestnut colour. The aroma is chocolatey and breadcrusty. Relatively dry finish with lots of chocolate and a light roast/toasty character.

Straw colour. Light saaz aroma. Old(ish) saaz and heavy pale malt character. Moderate bitterness. Might be a bit husky. Styles like a north German pils, but using saaz. Doesn’t really have Czech-level refinement.

Golden. The aroma is generally crackerlike, with a fair bit of maltiness. Sweet, with lots of caramelly goodness. A fairly assertive caramel character with a healthy earthiness.

Amber-brown. The aroma is full of pumpkin, caramel and pie spice (esp. nutmeg). Assertively spiced, and this is balanced by lots of caramelly malts. Bold, tasty pumpkin ale.

Hazy amber. Big hop aroma is earthy. A bit cheesy, too. Medium hops, earthy. Clean pale malt sweetness is good. The funny thing about this is that it does hit the right notes...and you can drink a lot of it. There’s no one thing that makes it, but it ends up being a damn good IPA.

Pretty much black. Dark brown head. Meaty, smoky, intense aroma. Rich and thick, the molasses comes through big time. Lots of sweet malts but also richly hopped. Burnt dark sugars, figs, molasses...intense malts and an inky finish with lots of burnt sugar character. Has all the intensity of a good impy, but with some style too.

GBBF. Cask. Opaque black beer, small cream - tan head. Mild roast on the nose. Smooth semi dry palate. Rich dark malt but not heavy or bitter. A little burned edge to it but offset by well judged creamy vanilla. Nice beer. Lose the harsh roast and it could be great!
