Nitrokeg. Goldeny amber colour with a small white head. Aroma is caramel, some fruity and herbal tones with mild wood. Flavour is floral, wooden, some biscuity and caramelly tones with mild citrus. Very smooth and creamy palate. A bit like Caffrey's, but still not.

Can. Amber with a fat cream coat of head. 3+ Aroma of caramel, mellow apples, spices. Thinnish but a little creamy - the nitro works OK here. Sweet with caramel, some grain, hints of nuts. Firmly bitter finish is peppery. Undistinguished but fine.

Can from Petit Marche in Imazato. A very cool looking nitro pour that resolves into a honey brown in my pint glass. The aroma is caramel, marmelade and big chewy malts. Smooth creamy body but the taste is woodsy, maybe turpentine? oak, nutty and definitely bitter. Very tannic, somewhat tea like not doing it for me as to my tastes it is like a natural varnish I might use to polish furniture... strangely though it does grow on you as it warms up and you keep sipping it...

Can. Deep amber-copper, with a thick fine nitro head. Clear. Caramel nose, earthy hops. Very plain, dull flavor, caramel and grain, with just a touch of earthy hops. Boring but drinkable.

Smooth and crisp, it maintains a healthy head throughout and the dominant malts make for a fine flavour, with just a hint of chocolate in them.

Pale amber color, creamy off-white head. Fruity, peachy aroma. Light-bodied. As name says, smooth palate. Watery palate. Light fruityness in the flavor, peach and banana. Light bitterness. "Extra Cold" and "Smooth", you get what you expected.
