Can. Very dark brown with a cm of tan head that fades quickly. Roasty and nutty with that earthy light roasted coffee aroma of wattleseed. And that softens the texture of what is otherwise a fairly dry and intensely roasted stout. Dark chocolate. Mostly roasted bitterness at the end. Lots of presence for 4.5%.

Can. Pretty much black with a beige head that fades to a fat coat. Aroma of coffee, roast, some cream, pepper. Some chocolate in the taste too with roast and bitterness whisking through at the dry end. Misses that tiny magic note in Guinness (which this is unabashedly an attempt at) but the brief richness is nicely done.

Got to this one pretty late, I suppose. Even heavily discounted it's only appealing due to the Into the 'Wood track record. Unclear orangish amber with a white head that's soon at the rim. Aroma is woody, spicy and funky with lemon and what could be berries or grapes. A swig confirms it's definitely not past it - creamy and a little slippery, bright and fleshy (peach, lemon) fruit before a drying oaky and peppery finish that's slightly bitter mixed with old lemon sourness. Good, sophisticated.

Can. Cloudy pink with a cm of white head. Good raspberry aroma with fresh hairy berries, some leaves, twangy wheat behind. So it tastes - the berries are nice but don't quite overmatch the Wit and the wheat and spices are complemented by the slight tartness as well as sweetness from the berries. Refreshing and very well balanced.

Can. Very dark brown with a loose beige head. Mild roasty aroma with cola, raisins. Perhaps a little more roasted presence upon a taste with weak syrupy chocolate, only hints of dried fruit. But enough bitterness to tidy up. Can't say this reminded me of panettone at all but it's OK.

A smooth-drinking dubbel with aromas of raisins, bread and plenty of chai spice. It has a creamy mouthfeel with some late banana, and hops that cut through nicely.

14/10/2022. Can from Cellarbrations. Pours clear dark golden with a frothy white head. Aroma is sweet, tropical, piney, malt, biscuit. Medium plus sweetness and light bitterness. Moderate body, fairly fizzy but suited it. Quite enjoyable.

Can. Moderately hazy light amber with a 2cm white head. Aroma of tropical fruit and a weird rancid nut oil? aroma, grass clippings. I dunno, could be just a me thing. Problem doesn't flow through to the taste where the tropical fruit is joined by peach rather than citrus. Dryish finish with low but sufficient bitterness.

Pleasant aroma of pear, grapefruit, biscuit and vanilla.loses a bit of that subtlety in the mouth, where I'm getting a little peppermints as well.
