Black. This has a very rich dark chocolate umami to it. Big, full body. Not getting the cherry…did it drop off or was it never there? Still a rich, delicious stout.

Slight haze, and pale colour. Sort of phenolic, a bit grainy. Lightish body. Decent. Definitely a Bizarre beer; Dageraad is typically much cleaner. The 2nd recent cross-border collab for Bizarre, who came up for FHF last year.

Dull pale gold, slightly sticky malt, some bitterness, a bit piney, orangey. Maybe some nz hop notes but this feels more wc to me.

Pale tan, good head. Good balance, a bit of biscuity malt, moderate bitterness , and a fruity hop expression.

Slightly dull, no head. Some pine, but lowish bitterness and weak malts…feels like session IPA…too bad the base can’t really support the hop because it’s got that resinous pine goodness.
