Can. Cloudy orange with a large white head. Aroma of lemon rind, pineapple, crackers. Slightly chalky but pretty light bodied. Very fruity with a citrus top note, some pineapple and peach. A little astringency but the end is all snappy bitterness. Refreshing.

Bottles from Great Grog. Black body with a beige head. Steady carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of salted caramel, blackcurrant and herbs. Flavour of coffee, dark chocolate, pine and underripe plum with a slightly peppery finish. Medium body with a chewy mouthfeel. Light fizz. Rich and well balanced. It’s good but after a few bottles I still feel it’s not quite world class.

Can. Close to black, a good cm of mid tan head. Aroma of caramel, light roast, spiced honey. Pretty sweet and yes, a bit oat cookie-like with as much caramel as roast but snappy citrus-tinged bitterness keeps things in check. Deft.

Deep dark brown colour, minimal creamy brown head; aroma and taste of coffee, dark chocolate, bourbon, liquorice, anise, nutmeg, soy sauce and some burnt sugary notes; really great one! Many thanks for sharing, Kapusil!
