Bottle. Pours nut brown with 3 cm head that rapidly fades to just a coating. Almost no visible remaining carbonation. Aroma is earthy with nuts, lots of chocolate and some cigar box smells. The nuts smell more like hazelnuts to me. Smooth and malty with some chewy resiny bitterness lurking at the end. Tastes less nutty than it smells.

Mahogany pour with small creamy head.Aroma is pretty delightful, with caramel, toffee, toast, chocolate and some nutty notes.Similar flavours: Toasty, nutty, chocolate grain. Aftertaste is seriously toasty (literally, like "fresh outta the toaster" toast) with hints of roasted coffee. Again, pretty delightful, even if simple.Low carbonation works well with the style.Really enjoyed this one, not sure how much the macadamia nuts add, but Holgate are definitely on the right track with this.
