440ml can from the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear dark brown, almost black colour with a frothy off white head. The aroma is roasty malt, light raspberries and saccharine. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a smooth, roasty, light raspberry, sugary mess of a palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Nice can but the beer is as fake as you can get. Why do I need to keep paying outrageous prices for beers like this when I can buy a cheap stout and add some fruit juice and sugar at home?

From a 330ml bottle on 8/9/2015. Pours a dark brown with almost a small head. The aroma is overwhelmingly of Redskins lollies, and raspberry. The flavour is again dominated by Redskins, which is quite a feat, along with chocolate, a hint of coffee, plums, raisins and more raspberries. While quite sweet, the sweetness is met by distinct slightly herbal, slightly roasty bitterness that lingers satisfying in the mouth. The texture is slightly slick and the carbonation soft. You wouldn’t pick it for 8.8% as it’s so easy drinking, presenting more as a sweet stout than an impy. But what a unique and impressive stout it is. A Redskins stout doesn’t sound like it should work as a concept but this is wonderfully cohesive and well balanced. All up, a bloody marvelous brew. One of my hero beers. Well done Moon Dog!

Pours black with an off-white head.Nose shows unmistakeable redskin notes along with some soft roast and caramel.Similar flavours, the roast is pretty soft, playing second fiddle to the hefty redskin flavour.

On tap at Gertrude Hotel: So, Redskins are an Australian raspberry flavoured lolly that are favourites in schoolyards, but most of us haven’t encountered as adults. This stout includes a big pile of them in the brew. It does make for a lot of nostalgia. The base beer is a standard (and good) stout, with a nice velvety mouthfeel and a hint of chocolate. The nose is all Redskin. The first few sips are a delight. A whole glass starts to get too cloying. I would have preferred it a bit warmer...

I don’t need to see a video of the brewers putting in their peeled redskins as evidence. You get a big redskin aromas as soon as you swirl it in the glass, and it takes a while before you start to get those stout flavours of coffee as well as a little hop bitterness. It’s slightly less overpowering in the mouth, the redskins being matched by an earthy coffee taste that I quite like. Not bad, but in the end I feel like I paid ten bucks for a bunch of guys to stand around peeling redskins.
