440ml can from Mitchell Wines Meadowhead - one where the description sold to me. Hazy orange body with a short lived white head. Sweetish nutty start, big hit of coffee, milky. Unusual to try and pair the taste with its appearance - stuff that tastes like this is dark.

Can. Pours hazy to murky golden with a thin white head, couple of yeasty lumps. Aromas of light coffee and nuts. Taste is more of the same. I think I'd rather have it without the additions, but it's ok.

440ml can from the brewery, drunk whilst cooking thai chicken. Aroma of light coffee with perhaps a little vanilla sweetness. Pistachio and coffee work nicely together, lovely creamy oat presence. Lactose hints though none was seemingly used. Interesting. Works well.
