Dark amber, caramel and toffee nose, sweet sticky, light phenol. Very caramel, sticky. Almost buttery but not diacetyl, more like a barrel character..

Dark amber, thin head. Toasty, a bit of sourness detracts but there is some decent malt complexity.

Amber, bright, lots of spice, decent malt base to it, so it's reasonably balanced. It's okay.

Hazy, that bubblegummy krush thing, finishes a bit thin with onion. Just not a hop I like.

Dull gold, thick head, herbal, grassy with lots of pale malt. Not really marzeny for me.

Opaque, thick head. Yellow. Mild hop nose, decent amount of alcohol. Respectable hop character, more in the peach/pear mode with moderate brightness. Relatively thick, slightly doughy malts and a bit of bitterness.

Bright, medium head, pale malt, slightly bready, clean pale malt, earthy hallertau character. One of those beers I wanted to like more than I did, because Ravenna tends not to give me the malt character in their lagers that I prefer.

Oaty, sweetish, some weedy notes, pale malt, moderate bitterness, but it works.
