16 oz. can. Hazy yellow in appearance. Aroma bold with grapefruit, lemon and herb. Flavor is moderate grapefruit with lemons. Ends on mild herb. Hints of citrus peel. Somewhat juicy in texture. Nicely balanced and easy to drink.

12 oz. can. Pitch black in appearance. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate malt, soft earth. Flavor is a exact copy. Good body and strength of the malts. Nice body with a bitter char finish. Maybe a hint of alcohol. Decent for sure.

16 oz. can. Pitch black in appearance. Aroma is slight chocolate, malt, light, roast, mild coffee. Flavor is a very good expression of a classic imperial stout. Good roasted malt, backbone with chocolate and coffee like hints. Body is full with a smooth texture. Slight bitter finish. Good.

16 oz. can. Typical goopy, smoothie appearance. The aroma does show tangerine plus pear the most. Mild ginger. There’s a lot of different fruit in here, and it shows mostly pear and tangerine. Some of the other flavors get lost once the gingerbread and the marshmallow kicks in. Meh.

16 oz. can. Deep amber color that’s nearly Brown. Aroma is tart raspberry & blackberry, very soft acid. The flavor is an exact rendition of the aroma. The fruit is strong, but it also has a strong, sour pucker. More of a classic made fruit and sour ale. I really appreciate that there is no additional adjuncts or stupid lactose.

16 oz. can. Crystal clear, Golden in appearance. Flavor has a nice soft grain showing honey and hay. In the rest of the sip is mild spicy notes. Light pepper, resin and wood. Nicely crisp texture that gives a refreshing quality after the swallow. Very well constructed hopped Pilsner.
