( 500ml bottle) pours clear ruby with 1 finger oily head that fades to a thin film but keeps lacing the glass. Nose of sweet pecans, raisin bread and an off flavor I can’t quite put my finger on. Taste of sweet lightly toasted malt, Prunes, and Slightly syrupy in a good way. Creamy carbonation and easy to drink with lots of flavor.

I was really excited when I smelled this beer in the glass. It poured a pretty nice amber with a nice 2 finger white head. The aroma was of grapes, more so dates, and a little banana... Nice. The taste was lacking, however. It was thin and not as flavorful as the aroma was hinting at. Was hoping for better, but it wasn’t bad.

Pours copper with a large beige head. Aroma is sweet caramel, light fruit and raisins. Flavour is caramel, fruity, raisin and plum. Light bitter aftertaste. Not my kind of beer.

Ruby in the glass, small creamy white head. Sweet cherry aroma, little waxy and young oak. Malt driven, reminiscent of a junior barley wine with hints of orange and maple syrup, spiced with lavender, aged in young wood.....but not completely. Overall seems pasteurized or truncated in its overall intensity. Abrupt. Blunt.

Very smooth beer with a moderately sour character. Beautiful understated floral aroma and dark caramel in appearance. Overall, a solid beer, but not complete. I can’t say what it is, but it’s missing something in the finish.

Beautiful chestnut color with ruby highlights, 1 inch tan head with creamy & foamy character that hugs the side of the glass. Aroma of dark malt, yeast, & resin hops. Taste is smooth, roasted malt flavors, with some bitterness in the finish.

Bottle from Kahns. Pours murky brown with minimal beige head. Nose is sweet fruit and caramel malt. Flavor is rich caramel malt, smooth, sippable and enjoyable. Not a ton of depth, but decent throughout.
