The beer pours a dark gold colour with a generous white head that lasts. The aroma is grainy malt, floral hops, and spices. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is light fruit, some citrusy notes, and grass. This would make a decent session ale.Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

The beer pours a translucent medium gold colour with a 1" white head. The aroma is stale grains, weak floral hops, and metallic notes. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grainly, slightly sour, and salty and acidic notes. Not very refreshing at all. Based on others who have tried it, they must have had a better batch, because this is awful.Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

The beer pours a translucent red-tinged golden colour with a half inch white cap that lingers. The aroma is cereal malt, weak caramel, weak floral hops, and a mustiness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is caramel, yeast, and grains. Unremarkable, yet not bad at all.Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

The beer pours a solid black colour with a generous rocky and bubbly light brown head. The aroma is roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, and plums. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is dark chocolate, plums, yeast, and roasted malt. A bit on the sweet side for an Impy Stout, but still very enjoyable.Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

The mead pours a hazed golden yellow with a minimal white head and plenty of effervescence. The aroma is honey, light fruit, grains, and spices. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is very honey strong, with some herbs, grains, and light fruit rounding it out. I like the strong honey presence.Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

The beer pours a hazed golden colour with a half inch white head that lasts less than a minute. The aroma is grains, and herbal hops. Nothing about the aroma screamed 'Hefeweizen' to me. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was tart wheat, musty grains, and an off taste. This was bad!Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

The beer pours a very hazy piss yello gold colour with a white cap that lingers. The aroma is stale grains, some floral hop tones, and weak spices. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is very grainy, slightly sweet, with a forgettable finish. Not their best effort.Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6
