Avery Fourteen

(Bottle) Pours a dark reddish brown colour with a creamy off white head. The aroma is a strange mix of grapefruit/herbal/resin like hops, spices like white pepper and cinnamon, fruity with canned pineapples and dried bananas, dark fruits like plums and raisins, some tart berries and malty tones of caramel, chocolate and nuts. Hints of celery, nettles and cucumber. The flavour is spicy, fruity, hoppy and malty. Chocolaty, caramelly some grapefruit and oranges, bananas and cinnamon. The mouthfeel is smooth, creamy, soft and a bit numbing from the hops. Medium sweet and light to medium bitter. Medium to full bodied. Very malty with a little bit of everything, strange.

22 oz bottle. Blood red body with a medium beige head. Aroma is a bit spicy, sweet malty and hops. Flavor is sweet malt, quite hoppy and fruity. The alcohol is not to pushing and the beer is balanced same time as uncommon.

Dark red brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is sweet, roasted, coffee, alcohol. Flavour is roasted, burned, coffee, alcohol, hop, fruit. Nice beer.

Dark mahogany with a red hue and a huge, nice and creamy head. The aroma has sweetness, malt, caramel, fruit and hops. The flavour is sweetish but with a nice hoppyness and a surprisingly nice bitterness. It has notes of malt, fruit, grapefruit, hops and the finish is dry. IMO a tiny bit out of balance, but it is a very nice beer! Thank you so much Tom/After4ever!!

1 pint bottle, at Ynqwie´s xmastasting. Dark brown/reddish color. Big, beige head. Sweet malt, fruit, hops, alcohol and nice bitterness.

22oz bomber-A dark brown body with a nice tight tan head which emits an aroma of hops, sweetness, malt, and a little chocolate. Taste of this full bodied brew comes across with malt, slight alcohol, sweetness, chocolate, and malt on the back end. A nice tasting brew but not getting the hops on the back end like everyone else so I don’t know if it is the age of the bottle or my taste buds.

Bottle. Pours a deep dark brown body with thin head. aroma is choclate, malt, soy sauce, lite hops. Flavor is bitter, lightly hopped, sweet malt and chocolate. Thick mouthfeel. I wish I could have drank this one fresh to experience some of the hoppiness people were talking about.

22oz bottle - Odd, I had this one months ago and don’t have my review entered. Anyway, it poured dark brown and mostly clear. It had a caramel malt aroma with some citrus hop notes. The flavor was sweet malt with chocolate and those nicely balanced citrus accented hops. I’ve noted that this big beer was very enjoyable without completely blowing me away. Another job well done from Avery...
