WFM sample. Nose is sweet and alcoholic, candy like with a nice malt profile. Taste is dominated by a unique hop flavor, punctuated by the sweetness. Interesting, not bad.

Pour is a very dark red with almost no head. Aroma is is a bit fruity with some dark malts and a nice winey smell to it. Flavor is sweet with some malts and a earthy dustyness. A decent example and easy to drink.

Pours a beautiful clear copper, with a overflowing khaki head that fades to a rough surface. Mostly malt aroma, with caramel and molasses present. Medium body, with a fairly sweet lingering malt flavor. Almost a peat/smoked flavor as well. Not as much bitterness as I would prefer.

Nice head, golden color. The aroma has notes of malt and hops. The flavour is briefly quite floral, before the bitterness enters the arena. Towards the end, right before the finish I seem to be in the eye of the hurricane - it’s completely bitter-calm, and notes like clover, flower, fruit and honey are found. But then the bitterness comes back in a long nice finish. A better bitter...
