Can sample at a tasting at troubles' place. Thanks troubles. Black, tan foam. Roast, chocolate, coffee, rather dry, bitterish finish, medium-bodied. Good.

Can. Fairly hazy amber with a near white head that lasts well. Somewhat reserved aroma of oranges, pine, bread, mango skin, herbs, a touch of obvious booze. 7+ Medium to full bodied. Moderately sweet with building bitterness and lingering citrus, herbal and topical notes. Very tasty. Is 10% too strong for something this drinkable? Or is that good? - I lean a little towards the former. Good, though.

Can .Moderately hazy amber with a white head that fades to a coat. Aroma of sharpish citrus,- grapefruit, herbal lemon - tropical bubblegum, peach, mango, passionfruit. Hints of pineapple and menthol. Barely medium bodied. Lovely soft alive texture with moderate carbonation. Lots of fruit with a little bread crust keeping things from getting too sweet. Dangerously well hidden alcohol. Bitterness is not that high but again, it's enough to keep it from being too sweet and fruit punch-like. Lovely beer.

Middie on tap at The Grain Store, Newcastle. Black/brown beer with a thin creamy head. Nose is mostly caramel with touch of coffee. Laces well. Texture is smooth with a little effervescence. There's some dark fruit in there but it's mostly coffee. Dry coffee finish. I just don't like the taste of coffee, so unfortunately not a lot of fun for me.

light medium golden amber color. Over ripe mango and tropical fruit nose. Maltier ipa with decent breadfruit and tropical fruit notes. Modest bitterness. Decent
