Can from Grape & Grain, Moorabbin, muled to the UK by my bro. Pours opaque dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: toast, caramel, grapefruit and pine. Taste: light sweet & light to moderate bitter, citrus, light caramel, pine. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Tidy enough.

(Can) Pours clear dark brown with good dense tan head. Lovely hoppy aroma - pine. Light body but with excellent carbonation giving soft mouthfeel. The hops are good and present throughout the palate, staring with fresh piney notes and finishing with some nice bitterness. There’s some dark toffee / treacle sweetness but not very prominent. Not your average brown ale and very nice.

Schooner on tap at Club Rivers, Riverwood. Dark brown/red beer with thin creamy white head. Cocoa/dark chocolate nose with notes of plum. Nice! Good lacing, quite harsh carbonation. Smoky finish with lingering bitter fruit. Very adult for the style.

Can. Very dark brown with a beige head that collapses to a coat pretty rapidly. Aroma of mocha and toasted strong bread with grapefruit and pine. Just enough sweetness to support the malty flavours so they don't get lost before citrus and resin rush in at the bitter end. The finish is brief and tidy. It's brown and an ale but not really a brown ale. But it's another tasty one from Akasha.

On tap at Keg & Brew, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small white head. Aroma brings out toasted malt and piney hops. Flavour is quite robust, with lots of roasted malt and piney hops. More like a black IPA. Great one.
