Pour is a black with a large bone white head. Aroma is dark fruits some sugar and a bit of tobacco. Flavor is more dark fruit with some anise and it has a dry sweet leathery finish. A thicker mouthfeel than the usual Belgian dark. Needs a bit more carbonation is about the only knock on this one. Super flavorful and I think this is $7 a bottle.

Pour is a black with a average mocha tan head. Aroma is roasted malt with some bitter bakers chocolate. Flavor is a full on roasted malt and a better than usual bitter bakers chocolate. This was a flavorful and thick porter.

Pour is an almost clear brown with a small tan head. Aroma is brown malt and a bit of ginger. Flavor is like a sweet fig Newton. Sweet with some dark fruit and a bit of chocolate on the back end. Lacking in the ginger and spices. Not one of those heavily spiced winter beers. They kind of went more malt heavy and it blocked out all of the spices.

Pour is a clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is yeast esters, green grapes and white sugar. Flavor is more of the funky yeast and a bit of bitter orange peel. I did not get any ginger or anise. Still without those adjuncts I thought this was still a decent saison. Lots of a Dupont yeast ester with some fruitiness.

Pour is a dark hazy amber with a large white head. Aroma is caramel malt with some bread crust. Flavor is caramel malt with some noticeable hops. Not was sweet as I thought it was going to be. Pretty solid amber lager. Not and exciting style but I have had way more boring versions of the style.

Pour is a chill haze blonde with a large white head. Aroma is a decent bready wet dough malt. Flavor is about the same but an addition of spicy hops on the back end makes this a tasty pils. Low ABV does not thin the beer out. Pretty good all day drinker.
