Aroma: Roasty hints, hop undertones, honey, caramel, butter.
Appearance: Creamy head, dark amber/copper.
Flavor: A bit astringent, hop bitterness is there, needs a bit more malt character.  Should be a bit sweeter for more balance.  This is still a remarkable beer -- very flavorful.

Aroma: Caramel, oxidative qualities, light aroma.
Appearance: Garnet, dark amber, nice.
Flavor: Hoppy, dry, light body for style.  There are a bit too many hops for style -- needs a touch more malt and body.  Very delicious, but a bit thin for this style.
