On a flight at the brewpub on 12th August 2025. Mahogany coloured body, beige crown. Mild malty front with an earthy/nutty leaning, light hop content, but enough to stop the beer being sweet or sticky in nature. Nice Brown Ale all round.

On tap at Spinnakers, pours a hazy dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted malt with a touch of nuttiness. Flavour is along the same lines, with toasted bread and nuts. Standard stuff for the style. Clean and easy to drink, but not robust or especially interesting. Meh.

Bomber bottle. Nice smooth head and okay brown body. Aroma of hazelnut, syrup, hints of molasses. Flavour is an unintrusive and weak hazelnut with graham crackers notes. Very little going on here in fact.

650 ml bottle. Pours a clear dark brown with minimal head. Aromas of bark and nuts. Very watery thin flavors of burnt biscuits and nuts. Pass

Some hops. Pours clear mahogany with some lacing, no head. A little sweetened malt. Some bitterness, not very interesting. Average carbonation and slick texture. On tap at brewpub.

Bottle from Spinnakers Spirit Merchants, Victoria
Brown mahogany color, with small head. Strange aroma of roasted malts and light durian. Lean body, with mild caramel flavor, and a hint of vegetables and cardboard. Low bitterness, with a very light trace of liquorice in the end.
Failing on many points: no nuttiness, poor malt presence, and even poor hopping.

Dark brown with ruby highlights. No head, unfortunately. Chocolatey, nutty aroma promises depth. Body is moderate, as is the sweetness. Hints of nut, chocolate, muscovado. Probably could use a bit more fullness but what’s here is quality.

Draft. Dark amber beer with a thin white head. Light bodied. Low malt aroma and flowery hops. Malty flavor balanced with just enough hops.
