From a 355ml can on 25/8/2020. Pours a deep brown with a medium head. Has a quite a strong sweet bready, pudding, with a sharpish fruity nose. Tastes very sweet with lots of caramel, toffee and date as advertised. The texture is slick and syrupy, the carbonation moderate. A well put together dessert stout which does what it sets out to do.

Can from brewery. I had very lofty hopes for this release. This pudding is my gulity pleasure, and now, so is this beer. So much caramel and chocolate and date and simply a oral pleasurefest. So glad I have 3 more cans (and I might head off in search of more).

Snickers with some hops at the back end. Not much more to add. Brilliant

From a 355ml can on 11/7/2020. Pours a clear deep amber with a small head. The nose is quite strong with both chocolate and peanut butter. Rinse and repeat it terms of flavour, with addition of some caramel, and finished off by a pleasant sharp bitterness. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. There are plenty of peanut butter beers to be found these days, which is okay with me, as I tend to like 'em. This one is excellent.

Another quarantinny. Dark brown. Loads of peanut aroma with some vanilla. Very much like a peanut praline in terms of flavour. Very pleasant.

Quarantinnie. Dark brown w a cm of beige head. Aroma dominated by fresh roasted peanuts. Also some caramel & hazelnut. Smooth textured with noticeable lactose. The peanuts arenβt so big a part of the taste which is a shame. But the hazelnut and caramel carry things through until a tidy enough mildly bitter end. Not quite my sort of thing.

Aromas of toast, caramel, smoke, licorice, white chocolate and peat make for a really nice assault on the nose. The licorice and toast mix with some lemony hops in the mouth. It finishes a bit short and lacks body, making it probably better suited to drinking at cooler temperatures on a warmer day (mine is lukewarm).

Deep amber. Big resin nose. A whole lot more going in the glass. Some biscuit plus sweetness (maple?) and a strong herbaceousness. I like, ay!

Can. Almost opaque orange with a white head. Pleasant but short of vibrant aroma of oranges, mango, passionfruit, pineapple. So it actually welcomes a little raw edge in the taste. Fruity with a moderately bitter and astringent end. Way better than their first attempt at this type of thing.
