12 oz can. Black/dark brown pour with a small brown head that has fair retention. The aroma is strong with chocolates, burnt grains, and iced coffee. The taste is mostly burnt and well roasted grains, just a bit of coffee on the back end. Bitterness is moderate. Palate is a bit less full bodied than i would prefer. Finished short. Overall: Love the burnt grain flavor.

From bottle. Pours a lovely dark ruby red color. The aroma is big and bold with red raspberries, and that's it--just raspberries. The taste, as in the aroma, is a big blast of raspberries, the honey also present as well. There is some mild tartness and acidity from the raspberry, but I would have liked more. Palate was a bit sticky with honey. Finished medium in duration with lingering honey. Overall: loved it

750 bottle. pours a medium brown color with a smallish beige head that soon recedes to a fine ring. The aroma is strong and is dominated by the raspberries, there is also some oak in the aroma. The taste is tart/sour mixed berries in a mild ale base. The palate is full and the carbonation soft. Finishes long with lingering sour berries. Overall: Decent sour ale,

Pint can. Pours a hazy yellow with a big foamy white head that had good retention. The aroma was faded and washed out straw. The taste on the other hand was breads, mild grains and noble hops. Big bready finish. Palate was crisp but seemed just a bit too thin. Overall: Decent, would drink this every day, but $20 a four pack is just a bit too steep for an everyday drinking Pils.

375 Bottle. Batch 3. Pours an odd pinkish color. The aroma is strong with cranberries, honey and some woodiness. The taste is a big and bold blast of very tart cranberries. The palate is full and just a bit sticky. Finishes long and tart. Overall: The tartness nicely offsets the honey sweetness. This concoction really captures the essence of cranberries.

pint bottle. Pours a jet black color with minimal head. The aroma is strong with well roasted grains, dark chocolate and anise. The taste featured mostly anise, followed by burnt grains and some bitter walnuts. The palate seemed a bit off, not the rich creamy I usually expect from a big stout. Finishes long with lingering burnt grains. Overall: nice, but not great.
