18/10/2022. Can bought at Rusty Water Brewery, Philip Island enjoyed at Crown Promenade. Pours clear dark amber with a frothy off-white head. Aroma of toffee, malt, biscuit, buttered popcorn, fruit, slight spiced edge. Medium sweetness and light to moderate bitterness. Medium body, oily, average carbonation. Pretty decent.

Aromas of biscuit, honey and malt. A bit of spice and stonefruit too. There's a fair bit of grapefruit in the mouth which actually overwhelms all of those lovely amber flavours a bit. The palate's a little thin too. Starts really well, finishes a little weaker.

Mar 2020: Pours amber with a large lasting head.Aroma of caramel, toffee, nutty and bready malt. Some spicy and herbal hops roll through later. Tempting!Flavours include more nutty malt along with bit of caramel and toasty malt. More of the spicy, herbal and earthy hops contributing a reasonable bitterness in the finish.Jan 2013: Pours deep amber with a small head.Very malty nose. Big nutty, toasty and caramel malt characters. Very sweet smelling.Malty flavours too, rich toasty malt and syrupy characters.Needs more carbonation.
