A bit of a murky amber with a light tan head. Toasted malts, mineral, a bit of fruit, light spice. Medium bodied. Finish has a touch of bitterness and sweet malt. It’s ok.

A touch of cloudiness on this orange beer. Small head that had difficulty forming. Citrus fruits, tropical sweetness, candied fruits, some resin. Medium bodied. Finish has more resin and candied fruits. Lightly bitter. Fine but slightly underwhelming.

Medium brown with a tall tan head. Caramel, chocolate, light nuts, toasted brown bread, and a touch of roasted malts. Medium to light body. Not a standard brown but enjoyable.

Black with a tan head. Dark roasted malts, dark chocolate, lactose, oatmeal, earthy, coffee beans. Medium bodied. Finish is dry and bitter roast. Stays away from the sweet side of things and gives this a nice depth. Quite nice.

Years ago, I remember being very upset I was living on the wrong side of the world to be able to get this beer. Finally, I’m in the right area but either folks back then were taking the piss with this or the beer has changed. It’s not bad but it’s also just a standard, forgettable beer. Amber with a tall light tan head. Caramel, toasted malts, lightly fruity. Little to no bitterness in the finish, just a sticky sweet note. Medium bodied. It’s not bad it’s just sorta there. Still, I’ll give it a go on cask to see how that fares.

Black with a thin tan head. Big prunes notes, cognac, chocolate, deep caramel, vanilla, oak, earthy, ripe dark fruits. Aroma seems like it might be a booze bomb but doesn’t come off that way in the taste. Full, creamy body. Finish is long with prune and dark sweet malts. Quite interesting and enjoyable.
