Can. Very slightly hazy golden amber with a cm of white head that fades to less than a coat fairly quickly. Bright laundry lemon aroma with crackers and peaches, minor mango/ Dubbin notes. Dryish and sunny tasting with some orange joining the citrus. Dry, slightly spicy and moderately bitter finish. Really quenching. The things you find at Dan's these days.

Can. Black with a cm of light tan head. Heavily roasted aroma with coffee and singed nuts. Just medium bodied. Not really sweet - despite the lactose - with bitter coffee, cocoa and firm roast. The nuts that showed in the aroma are not so obvious. Drier than anything I'd expect to be labelled pastry stout.

A mild stout with a Nutella aroma, plus a little honey and grass. There's a dusty chocolate aftertaste, plus a bit of citrus. Pleasant, but nothing to write home about.

Pretty much as advertised. Rye, spicy notes, lots of lemon myrtle to leaven the palate. Note a bad effort. Best drunk at room temp IMO!

Aromas of straw, honey, grapefruit, lemon and a little stone fruit. A nice balance between malt and hops in the mouth, with a very dry finish. Hides its alcohol well. Not especially memorable, but certainly well made.

The name suggests a resinous beer, and I'd say it delivers on that. There are aromas of pine and spearmint, plus some mango and boiled lollies. It's all mango and pine in the mouth, which is not necessarily a winning combo. It's a bit of a weird one. I can't decide if I like it or not.

250ml can. Not going to give any points for that, but yes, this is a good size for a super strong beer. Clear dark brown with a cm of beige head that fades in time. 3+ Aroma is boozy and grapey with some toffee and prune. Perhaps some hints of cardboard. Low carbonation, full bodied but really not syrupy. More genuinely malty than suggested by the aroma with strong bread, singed caramel, some dried fruit. A bit of bitterness and no overt booze at all (will the bitterness be enough in 18 months time?). I'm all for indulging good brewers doing something silly for a birthday beer but this has turned out _really_ well.

Can. Slightly unclear gold with a white head that fades gradually. Aroma of hay, gooseberries, grass clippings, green mango. Not as dry as a Kiwi Pilsner but the richness allows fruitier flavours - which would seem to be the intent. Actually does go well with Burger Rings.

Can. Clear gold with a white head that fades to a coat. Aroma of mandarin, passionfruit, crackers. Moderately sweet and bland underneath the hops, where a bit of a resinous buzz joins the fruit before a fairly bitter finish. Hoppy, but really lacks coherence.
