Can sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Tom L. Slightly hazy golden. Great hoppy aroma full of overripe tropical fruits. a bit oniony. Flavor has mild sweetish malt, very fruity hops, and a mild to moderate bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Very good, easy-drinking and refreshing.

330ml can brought back from Fran Well Easterfest. Alex Lawes brewed and canned it the week before, can’t get much fresher than that. Unbelievable grapefruit and passion fruit aroma. Equally delicious flavour, nice simple malt bill doesn’t overshadow the hops but compliments perfectly. A true rival to OF&F here. Well done Alex, can’t wait to try the porter.

Keg @ Black Sheep, Dublin [210114]
Very dark brown, rich beige creamy head, good lacing
Aroma - big rich roast coffee hit, rich dark malts, some earthy malts, bit nutty
Taste - Wow heavy at first, but get into it quickly, rich dark malts, bit earthy, rich deep roast coffee, dark chocolate, powdery cocoa, this is nice, lots of coffee, big flavours
Palate - soft carb, medium body, rich texture. Finish as main flavour, clinging dark malts on the palate, smooth chewy texture
Overall - I only got the last bit out of the keg [1/5 pint], heavy for 6%, rich, like the coffee. Not a fan of ’thin’ stouts - this is rich....heavy at first but the palate adjusts quickly. It’s getting the 4....
