Amber color that has a mildly spiced finish and hints of orange peel. Not exactly a winter beer

Off white fully diminishing head copper coloured beer. Mild hoppiness, slight malt flavour. Dry finish. An O.K. beer but nothing really jumps out at you.

Dark brown with good head that quickly fades to a thin lacing. Good toasted malt smell. Tastes okay, malt and brown sugar are the dominant flavours. It has quite a bit of alcohol taste.

Copper body with little head. Aroma is slightly roasted malts. Flavour includes malts and notes of toffee but little else. Finish is slightly sweet but pretty easy.
