(Can) Pours very dark brown with red highlights and good tan head. Nice aroma with notes of nuts and coffee. Full bodied, quite smooth, nice carbonation. Taste has a burnt sugar / dark toffee bitterness throughout palate. There’s notes of nuts, port, toast, liquorice. Overall though the burnt bitter taste is not sufficiently balanced by rich tastes.

Can. Very dark brown with a large light tan head. 3+ Aroma of mocha, chestnuts, light spices, licorice. Bittersweet with licorice, coffee, singed sugars, firm bitterness. It's OK, but there's not much that's luxurious about it either in richness or depth. Disappointing.

Can. Hazy orange. Surprisingly subdued nose. Just a touch of citrus. Nice body. Strong and juicy, with bitter aftertaste. Hides booze very very well.

(Can) Pours almost black with big dense tan head. Lovely aroma of chocolate and toasted grains, reminded me of a chocolate digestive. Medium body with good full carbonation. Good taste but a little lighter than I was expecting. There’s toasted grain and dark chocolate. Very nice.

From a 375ml can on 8/6/2020. Pours a hazy medium golden with a small head. The nose is dank and tropical. Tastes of apricot, mango and melon. It's very sweet up front with a moderate spicy bitterness providing some balance. The mouthfeel is rich, slick and syrupy, the carbonation moderate. A very enjoyable sweet, big hazy.

Can. Opaque brownish orange with a inch of white head. Quite subdued aroma of peach, apricot, pulpy mango, some earthy notes. Much more vibrant taste with some citrus, much brighter stone fruit, cantaloupe, sweet passionfruit. Pleasantly creamy texture. Not a lot of bitterness but enough of a finish. Deft balance. Awfully strong for a fruity bagatelle, but it's a pretty nice drink.

From a 375ml can on 30/5/2020 (shared with Butz). Pours a hazy light golden with a medium head. The nose is lovely, dominated by lots of mango. Not surprisingly, it's all mango in the taste and quite sweet up front, with a firmish, slightly spicy bitterness finishing things off. Has a slick mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. A beautifully balanced and delicious hazy. I've not generally been thrilled by Modus beers in the past, but this is far and away the best of theirs I've had to date. Outstanding.

Can. Hazy brownish orange with a fluffy inch of white head. Aroma of gentle citrus, pineapple, peach, bread (+ some plenkton & chups obv). Light bodied, quite high carbonation. Slightly dirty palate with vague bread and sweet peach. More focussed grapefruit and a decent bitter end counter that pretty effectively and result in something very gluggable.
