Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of bluebetty. Pours a murky almost opaque orangey brown with hardly any head. Heavy peat aroma, quite some iodine here. Rich body, low carbonation. Rubbery, peaty notes. Very boozy finish. I still don’t like peat.... 221112

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of bluebetty. Pours a dark brown with a tint of red and a tiny off-white head. Subtle roast and overripe fruit in nose, a whiff of smoke - but particularly wood and heavy, heavy booze. Rich body, low carbonation, caramel and nuts, slightly ashy and woody. Again massive booze. Kinda like it. 221112

Bottle, around 14C. Cloudy brown with a light beige head. Subdued aroma of dried and stewed fruits, dough, oranges, herbs. Taste is briefly sweet with dark fruit and sugars, rapidly overtaken by herbal bitterness. After a few sips, the yeast and fruits emerge again. Some hard spices (cassia?) and hints of plummy sourness. Dry and (maybe a bit too) bitter at the end. Pretty good and full of character.

Bottle. Black with a dense light tan head. Gentle aroma of roasted malt, dark toffee, mocha, vanilla. Very nice smooth characteristic oatmeal mouthfeel. Very sweet with condensed milk, chocolate, a touch of roast, prunes, pine and citrus. Hop note seems dissonant and the sweetness is getting a bit much for me.

Bottle. Just cloudy amber with a dense cream head. Aroma is floral with caramel, some spices and biscuits. A little overcarbonated but very alive-feeling. Tastes slightly sweet and very biscuity with some butterscotch, hazelnuts and flowers. Bitterness is just less than balancing. Slight touch of metal at the end? - if it was there I stopped noticing it . Rich and a little rustic. Much more complex malt character than usually found in Australian beer. Pretty tasty. Second glass with farmhouse cheddar and a pickled onion, yum. Started OK and then really drew me in.
