3/11/2022. Part of a paddle at Endeavour Tap Rooms, The Rocks, Sydney. As Aged Amber same abv. Pours clear dark amber with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is malty, toffee, dried fruits, light cocoa edge. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness. Medium body, creamy, soft carbonation. Started nicely but faded.

Endeavour seem to have changed focus as their beers no longer feature different years. Their website only lists 'core', 'reserve', and 'special' beers. So this 330ml bottle is their reserve amber ale. Pours a hazy bronze colour with a foamy white head. Patchy lacing. Many tiny bubbles ascend. Nose is toffee and caramel. Slightly effervescent with a little bitterness. The finish is more toffee and caramel but also some balancing pepper. The very end is dry with a little herbal bitterness encouraging another sip. Nice beer without being outstanding.
