Good Porter color. Roast malt aroma, but faint...no hops. Nice light "porter" flavor. ("Porter"...I'm sure using that word a lot.) OK beer. Fair Porter.

Deep golden, lots of carbonation, good head. Fresh malty aroma. Good body, lots of hop flavor and bitterness giving way to a sweet finish. -

Pale, crystal. Head OK, carbonation sparse. Nice malt nose. Malty, very clean. Hops subdued, but still in balance. Very slightly astringent. -

Golden, transparent, good carbonation, weak head. Grainy-musty aroma. Good body, musty taste...possibly Tettnangs. -

Good yellow, as opposed to pale yellow. Plasticky aroma? Odd...doesn't fit with the beer's other characteristics. Might be my nose. Fruity-ish flavor. Not that that's a bad thing...it's just the hops. Good body and flavor, and I expect a good belch as well. Good fresh beer, suitable for voluminous quaffing.
