(Ask for this one without the raspberry juice.) Golden amber, some haze, thick head. Faint banana aroma. Sourish, some banana flavor. John Ponte says this is the same beer as the Whistle Stop, with a shot of lactic...he's probably right.

Red-brown, flat, low head. Caramel, malty aromas. Thick, sweet, lots of dark caramel flavor. Bitter finish with some alcohol.

Deep red-brown, thick head. Smells pretty clean. Big body, very malty, lots of dark caramel. Not a lot of alcohol character, but drying at the end.
