A hazy deep red beer with a disappearing off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of berries. The flavor is sweet with notes of berries.

Amber color with a beige head. The taste is light roasted and light smokey malty base with a very wellbalanced hoppy palate. Very nice.

Dark golden amber orange colour. Really strong bitterness in aroma. Notes of honey, herbs, pepper and spices. Slightly sour. Really tasty. Great beer.

Chestnut colour, all clear. Slight head, yellowish, irregular. Nose of brown gingerbread, pudding, vanilla. Sweet taste, malty upbuild, surrounded by roasted-bitter maltbite. Almondy flavour, perfumey. Medium-bodied. More almondy sweetness in the aftertaste. The overly perfumed character gets annoying after some time, like an unrefined brandy.
