An ugly good tasting stout. Black with no head. No lacing. Faint aroma, a little raisin. Flavour is very full, coffee, chocolate, raisin and malt with a good malty finish. Enough bitterness to keep everything from getting too sweet.

Made for the 4-4-2 football bar. Pour off dark yellow with medium white head. Flavour is a mix, something like a pilsener, something like a pale. The server called it a ’Breslauer’. Hoppy edge and finish.

Got a 22oz bottle of this one. Poured a slightly hazy golden orange color with a slightly off-white head. Aroma was some light citrus notes, but this one was dominated by malts - not sure if it is an older bottle, but I was under the impression that it was this year’s brew. Pretty decent regardless of whatever might have been missing in the hop department.

Bomber from Made in Oregon. 8.0% Pours dark brown/black with a slight beige head. Aroma of veg and treacle. And liquorice. Med + body. Flavor is treacle and liquorice with hints of chocolate. I think there’s more in this, but it’s hard to figure it out. Not the common porter. Finishes more dry than not.

Draught. Black pour with beige head. Yeasty aroma. Flavour is malty and hoppy, well balanced. I didn’t taste the hop varieties, perhaps my palate is not sensitive enough. Roasty touches.
