12oz bottle. Bought this in a Publix in Port St. John, FL. Clear reddish-brown color. Aroma of dark malt extract. Nice toasted cereal scent. Flavor has distant chocolate and burnt grains. its just too watery.

12 oz. bottle in trade from Daknole, thanks! Served in pint glass- poured trademark black, half finger tan head formed but went away rather quickly. Aroma of a roasted malt and churned riverwater (?). Guess why it’s called beachside... hits the mouth with a low-medium body, malt is there but not very strong, a bit of water in the middle, finish has an odd sweet/tangy finish to it. It’s beer, but kind of odd.

Light brown with slight haze. Plummy aroma with light toasty notes. Fairly husky body, with light chocolate/fudge accents. Very much like a hot chocolate powder in the finish.

Dark malts, choclate, mild aroma. pours dark brown, with a thin off white head. Mild chocolate flavor, alright roasted flavors, very mild.

12 oz bottle, via acertain. Pours a clear dark brown colored body under a fizzy soda-pop like light brown head that faded to a thin ring. Aroma is chocolaty and lightly roasty although somewhat grainy and harsh. Flavor is very thin, a little chocolate malt and some chalky graininess that really came out on the finish. Mouthfeel is fairly thin and watery in texture. Carbonation is fizzy and lively. Overall, this was quite thin and unimpressive in all aspects.

Sadly, the best of the bottles I sampled at the brewery, and found and opened as a favour. A little lace, neutral aroma oddly, watery and above average carbonation. There was some roasting, chocolate malt and coffee.
