Our fourth birthday calls for the fourth chapter. SR4 lands with a massive 11%, loaded with maple and pecan for peak dessert-mode indulgence. Thick, sweet, and proudly over the top, exactly how a birthday beer should be. Cheers to four years.

Can from The Azvex Online Shop. Nose is chocolate wafer, maple, nuts, caramel. Rich sweet taste of maple, chocolate cake, nuts, caramel, toffee, butterscotch, raisin. Boozy sweet enamel endangering stuff, most enjoyable though.

440ml can from Left Field Beer, Solihull. Poured almost black in colour with little life. The aroma is roasty, hazelnut. The flavour is strong street, with a smooth, rich, roasty, sugary, light aromatic, light liquorice bitter palate. Full bodied with flat carbonation. Nice but in small quantities. Overly sweet.

Can shared at kermis tasting thanks to JimGreen. Black with small head. Huge nuts, sugar, chocolate, vanilla, earthy. Very very sweet, light bitter. Full sugary body. Not my thing.
