Bottle courtesy of Irondjin: Poured a deep clear golden color weizen with a small foamy head. Aroma of sweet wheat malt is somewhat boring. Taste is also dominated by some sweet malt but no banana, bubblegum or cloves aroma could be detected. The aftertaste was quite dry as well which wasn’t necessarily pleasant. Body was light with some average carbonation which was a bit low for the style.

Bottle courtesy of CBA: Poured a medium amber color ale with a small foamy head that quickly disappeared. Aroma of malt is weaker then expected and no peat malt could be detected which is what I usually look for into scotch ale. Taste is also weaker then expected with some malt with some very subtle dry fruits characteristics but not as much as I would have expected. Definitely weaker then I would have expected and not something I would go looking for again.

Deep mahogany color. Peaty nose with some milk chcolate and dark cherries. Peaty mouth, low hops. Whisky, peaty finish, but overall lacks complexity.

A reddish brown ale with a thin off white head. Sweet caramle malt with notes of figs, burned sugar and molasses. In mouth, a nice sweet chocolate with notes of molasses, treacle candy, alcohol warmthé A rich lingering spiceyness of cloves and burned caramle linger in mouth. Glenn, you are a good brewer! Thanks to Presario for this one.

On draft at Hop N Brew - Hazy med brown color, white head. Looks tempting. Milk chocolate, bread, caramel, slightly sour nose. The mouth is a bit too sour, but the depth was great with bread, caramel, cherries, milk chocolate all dancing together. Alcohol is well hidden. The finish reminds me of a cherry chocolate milk shake Too sour overall, but getting past that, this beer is phenomenal.

Bottle: Poured a golden yellow color ale with a small bubbly white head with average retention. Aroma of sweet malt is pretty subdued with some subtle spices also being noticeable. Taste is a mix between some light pepper note and weak sweet malt. Body is definitely too thin and carbonation is not strong enough. Not bad overall but lacking a malt presence and probably more yeast character would have help this one.

Bottle: Poured a golden yellow color lager with a small bubbly head with minimal retention. Aroma of malt is quite weak and no hops are discernable. Taste of weak malt with a watery finish. I know they mentioned the use of European hops in this beer but honestly I could not detect them. Carbonation is a bit low for the style and the body is too watery. Seems to me like this is an attempt at producing a macro-like beer.

A dark orange beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet and very hoppy, but also with notes of flowers, caramel, and citrus. The flavor is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, and lesser notes of hops and citrus. The end is dry, hoppy, and bitter, while the body is a bit thin.
