I was actually drinking the Deeds Lamington Ale in a 440ml can at 5.5%. So slightly different recipe, by the looks. The aroma's close to the mark - coconut, chocolate, vanilla cake and I swear I even get some jam at the end. There's a slight citrus bite in the taste, plus more of a cocoa chocolate flavour. Very enjoyable.

Pours dark brown with a large lasting head.Nose shows milk chocolate and coconut, somwhat sweet-smelling.Similar flavours, lots of coconut and some soft cocoa along with subtle roast.

Bottle. Fairly dark brown with a beige head. Smells of slightly fake chocolate and coconut: just like a lamington. But is that good? Very sweet with chocolate, coconut, some slight metallic notes. No particular finish. Just too sweet for me.

(Bottle) Clear deep mahogany brown with thin short-lived off-white head. Unusual, interesting and pleasant aroma - toasted nuts and coconut, chocolate, hints of toffee and slight vegetable / seaweed notes. Light body, fizzy coarse carbonation. Rather odd taste - toasted coconut is dominant at the start and through into the mid palate. However a rather harsh metallic, maybe stewed black coffee, bitterness develops as the coconut fades, continuing into a really quite unpleasant finish. As long as you take another sip as the coconut fades, it’s fine! There’s some toffee notes underlying these flavours. Overall, it’s unusual, inventive, worth trying, but not right.
