Slight sweet smell. Taste is initial harsh sweetness that sort of strangles your taste buds. But once that fades you’re left with a nice even malt aftertaste that lingers and fades slowly.

Fresh raw grainy hop aroma. Had a slightly sweet taste with the same grainy hop flavors present. Leaves you with a moderate hop taste that just fades to sweetness. Overall is nice, but tastes somewhat constructed” rather than artistically created. 2 Basic flavors patched together. Almost like the bold hop presence is trying to mask a mediocre sweet beer in the background. Very bold surprising taste though for Alexander Keith’s.

Dry slightly sweet sharp odor, almost like apples. Mild flavor with a mush-mash of fruity flavor with a malty grainy, almost cereal-like aftertaste. I suppose it’s easy drinking, but with the strange flavor combinations, I’m not sure it’s tasty/enjoyable. Kudos to them for being unique and being a craft beer brewer that makes lagers rather than ales. But it seems more like someone making a turbo-only engine in a car because it’s unique, despite everyone else making internal combustion engine cars because they’re more practical. You don’t have taste on your side, just uniqueness.

Pours out of the bottle like dark used motor oil out of an engine. Sweet, slightly barrel aged” smell. Sharp but thick taste of a very high alcohol stout. Finishes with a slightly sweet dark malt taste and a minor burn like you just sipped a teaspoon of bourbon. In the end, a bit too harsh and “raisin-y” for my taste.

Mild dark malt taste, but very smooth. Leaves a mild malt aftertaste.

Slightly sweet but crisp hop aroma. Taste is a mix of hops with a malty bite. Malt taste fades away and you’re left with just the hops. Leaves you a little bitter.

Slight hop aroma. Full mouth flavor of strong hops. Fades out moderately with hints of malt and hops. Leaves a clean, crisp taste in the mouth with hoppiness handing out in the back corners of the mouth. After a few more drinks, I’m thinking the aftertaste has a little bit too much of a harsh edge to it.

Very sweet smell. Very little taste. Maybe a hint of a pilsner flavor- but quickly washed away by overwhelming water taste. No aftertaste.

Clean, slightly sweet smell. Fresh taste with a mild malt taste that finishes cleanly with a very slight sweetness.
