Thank you for sharing Adamnowek! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBSG17. Black, solid thick mocha head. Nose is fascinating Sichuan massively with flowers, roses & mellow chocolate. Taste is Sichuan, big flowers, roses, herbal, mocha, sweet candy, herbal syrup, dark fruits syrup, low chili burn. Really unique profile, massive Sichuan doing all kinds of weird thing. Mocha herbal syrup body. Really dug it.

Sampled @ RBBSG 2017. Opaque black color, average to medium sized beige to light brown colored head. Weird herbal, caramel, liquorice and sichuan peppers (according to Tim) in the aroma. Taste malts, loads of liquorice and more liquorice mixed with sichuan peppers. Very weird, not my thing.

Tap at YOLO, Bangkok. Poured a clear copper colour with a frothy, short-lived white head. The aroma is malt, resin metallic hop. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a crisp, malt, light fruit resin woody hop, alcoholic bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. An alcoholic hop bomb.

Tap at Let the Girl Kill, Bangkok. Poured a hazy light amber with a frothy white head and some broken lace. The aroma is malt, buttery, big creamy mango. The flavour is moderate sweet with a smooth, rich, mango fruit, hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. A bit one dimensional but it’s as it says on the tin and it works. This beer would appeal to a lot of people.

Bottle shared with Adamnowek, Erwin and tderoeck. Many thanks, Adam! Hazy yellow colour, creamy white foam. Nose of sweet tropical fruit, but also vegetables, very metallic. Thin body, like drinking a flavoured sparkling water, bit soapy also.
