Can picked up Westhill Service Station. It pours cloudy deep orange - brown with a beige head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, tropical fruits, peachy, mango, orange creamsicle, piney resin, cacao nibs, rivita, nutmeg and malt loaf. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, piney, resin, toothy, pithy, freshly squeezed orange juice, zesty, toasty malts, cacao, brown bread, malt loaf, leather, orange marmalade, grapefruit and Terry's Chocolate Orange with a dry, toasty finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Strikes a nice balance between malt and hops. Fun stuff.

440ml can. Murky opaque brown, frothy off-white head. Aroma is malty, fruity, chocolate, caramel. Taste is citrusy, orange peel, pine, lightly toasted/biscuity malts, caramel, chocolate. Medium body. Nice hoppy American brown, feel like it would have been better to go full on black IPA though.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up at the Experiment. Pours hazy orange-brown with a frothy, light khaki head. Maybe I'm just really in the right mood, but this beer is great right now. Nice toasted brown bread, ample piney hops, nips of cocoa, brown sugar, grapefruit, toffee, tangerine. Medium bodied, lightly oily, with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with some lightly resinous toasted pine, melon, more grapefruit and tangerine, background inklings of toasted caramel, cocoa. Lovely roundedness and depth. I'm sinking this quickly.
