Sweet smell. Strange very strong sweet taste that seems a mix of hops and yeast. Leaves you with a sweet, alcoholy taste. A bit harsh.

Faint sweet smell. Strong biting hop taste, fades out slowly with a malty taste and a bit of hops.

Beer Valley Leaf Madness
Nice sweet fresh aroma. Mild hoppiness, very smooth. Beer almost reminds me of a dry Belgian style. Nice mild flavor, almost milky. My beer #100 since I started tracking my ratings.

Detroit Brewing Company Alt Beer
Slight faint aroma with a mild grain smell. Sweet flavor with a slight harshness. A bit too harsh for me. Has definite flavors like the Alts, but a bit too harsh, then fares into a slight sweetness. Very little aftertaste.

Schmaltz Hebrew Bittersweet Lenny’s R.I.P.A.
Slightly sweet, heavy aroma. Initial taste similar with a bit of hop flavor hidden amongst a very strong and sweet malt flavor. Finishes malty and sweet.

Brewery De Ranke XX Bitter
Smells like a wet dog. No really. Not super strong, but if I had to describe it, that’s what it smells like. Taste was a bit abrupt with some bubbly feel on the mouth with a nice hoppy fade out in taste. Kind of like a cross between an IPA and a champagne. Best drank holding your breath so you don’t suck in a whiff of dog and instead just get the hoppy aftertaste. Beer was best before the end of Jan 2016, and I had it in Jun 2012, so I guess it was maybe still young…

Guinness Black Lager
Nice rich malty aroma. Full flavored, but light and almost refreshing at the same time. Finishes with a moderate dark malt flavor with a hint of hops.

Brasserie Lefebvre Hopus
No real aroma. Nice full flavored mild malt with a hint of sweetness. Finishes with a nice moderate flavor with hints of hops. Pretty decent, but not too much to get excited about.

Brewery Dilewyns Vicaris Generaal
Moderate sweet smell. Moderate even sweet taste with a hint of hops and fruit. A bit of carbonation then fades off from sweetness.

St. Benedictus Abbey Achel Bruin
Moderate sweet smell. Very sweet taste with a slight hint of hop bite, but quickly overtaken by a fruit sweetness. Taste kind of wrestles between those 2 flavors for a while, neither one really losing. A confusion of sweet and dry.
More red in color than my phone gives it credit for.
