The aroma is dark fruit like raisins or plums, molasses, grass, and earthy hops. Smells quite good actually. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is not as good as the smell. While only 6%, the alcohol can be detected along with notes of bread, yeast, and weak sweetness. It’s not bad, but not something I would try again.

The aroma is citrus, grains, musty hops, and weak tropical notes. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is very IPA like, hop forward with notes of tropical fruit balanced by a malty grassy sweetness and finishing with a strong hoppy bitterness. Not a lot of ‘spice’ in the beer for me/

The discernable imperial stout notes are warming and tasty, but the bourbon and wood are overpowering.

The aroma is grains, citrus, and yeast. I can't place the grains, but they aren't the wheat or barley listed on the bottle. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with below average carbonation. The flavour is very reminiscent of a weak iced tea. It isn't very beery at all.

The aroma is roasted malt, coffee, and dark chocolate. So far, so good. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with below average carbonation. The flavour is cold coffee. So, while it looks good, and the taste certainly isn’t offensive, the lack of alcohol works against the flavour profile in less than appreciative way

The aroma is roasted malt, raspberries, and weak yeast notes. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Very thin for a porter in my opinion. The flavour is strong on the roasted malt end with just a hint of raspberry. A very malty beer but I enjoy that in my porters and stouts.

The aroma is roasted malt, dark fruits, chocolate, and coffee. Smells amazing. The mouthfeel is full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is similar to the aroma with a definite woody taste thrown in. Chocolate flavour is milk chocolate more than dark chocolate. I like the beer, although the flavour doesn’t live up to the promise of the aroma.

The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is sweet caramel malt, some molasses notes, which I expect in a 90 Shilling &#47; Scotch Ale, and a bitter hoppishness in the finish. A pleasant beer.

This clearly a British style IPA with the emphasis on ‘clearly’ as there isn’t a speck of haze in the glass. The beer pours a translucent metallic gold colour with a thin white film for a head. Swirling the beer for a few seconds generates a 1” foamy off-white head. The aroma is grainy malt, some musty hops and some floral hops, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grainy malt up front, some acidic tones, and a bitter citrusy hop finish. Hard to detect the citrus in the aroma but it is definitely there on the palate.
