Pours gold with a large quickly fading head.Nose shows Belgian yeast, but a bit rough around the edges with bready and apple notes. Some spicy phenolic characters, a hint of sultanas and white wine, and a faint lemon note.Flavours include more Belgian yeast notes, some bready characters, a rich confectionery like malt character, and some spicy and grassy hops. Towards the finish the booze takes over, a bit hot/solvent-like mixing in with a somewhat hoppy bittterness.Body feels a bit flat.

Mango and pineapple dominate the aroma, with pine, peach, mint and pepper. It's got the creamy mouthfeel with the mango, pineapple and peach present, plus plenty of the piney hops. The cream comes through again at the back of the throat, but there's also a fair bit of alcohol warmth. I don't quite know what to make of this one.

(Can) Pours clear deep red brown with small tan head. Wonderfull aroma of roast peanuts, toffee, digestive biscuit, notes of chocolate. Excellent mouthfeel too - medium bodied, with bright carbonation to start moving to soft and smooth in the mid palate. Great taste too. Roast peanuts and toffee with notes of chocolate and hints of berries and some pleasant alcohol warmth. Very clever and very good.

Can from brewery. Black. Very roasty and toasty on nose and in mouth. Dry as a desert and a little thinner than I like.

Can. Yep, it's tastes like hazelnuts and it's brown. No mystery in life is there? Wish everything else was thus straightforward.

Can. Dark brown with a beige head that's soon less than a coat. Aroma of singed caramel and butterscotch, dried fruit that I'd probably guess cherries rather than dates. It does smell quite like sticky toffee/ date pudding (which I like) - but is that a good idea? I guess I bought it. Medium bodied. Big syrupy butterscotch but there's enough roast, spice and bitterness that it doesn't seem cloying, although it is pretty damned sweet. As is so often the case, a decisive finish makes a huge difference.

Fresh 2020 iteration. Can direct from brewery. Amber. Almost dirty sock (and malt) on nose. Lovely mix of pine and dark bread malts. Feels old school and substantial.
