As Chur Lid Ripper. Gloopy amber with a cm of white head. 3- Aroma of oranges, pineapple, herbal lemon. Thick, rather soupy (porridgy?) mouthfeel is not really pleasant. Fruit with some pine and herbs at the modestly bitter end.Hoppy but not refreshing at all.

On tap at Beervana. Pours gold. Strong good coffee, vanilla, toast, peach, honey. Decent full body. Not really on board with the whole golden stout thing. Lacking in complexity.

On tap at Beervana. Pours black. Hazelnuts, chocolate, toast, vanilla, touch of acidity. Little disappointed. Edit: from can. Aroma is beautiful, plenty of hazelnut and a lovely sweet milk chocolate. Nice toastiness too. Much better than remembered, though that acidic twinge remains. Good.

Taster at GABS Auckland 2017. Pours black. Chocolate, milk, raspberry, my notes then have a profanity. Big chocolate sweet stout with a tonne of tart, sweet raspberry jam stuff. Absolutely delightful.
