From a 440ml can on 10/6/2020. Pours a slightly hazy light golden with a medium head. Features a modest tropical fruit nose (mainly melon) with a touch of dankness. The flavour features mango, melon and apricot finishing with a gentle bitterness which suits the experience. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Pretty easy drinking and rather enjoyable, if not necessarily noteworthy.

Can. Very dark brown. Dark choc aroma with almost golden syrup. Sweet, but with coffee and dry choc tempering it. The smokiness could have been quintupled. I wanted more of that.

From a 440ml can on 6/6/2020. Pours a deep brown with a medium head which disappears quite quickly. The nose features quite a bit of chocolate and caramel. The taste is very dessertish - more chocolate and caramel, some vanilla, with a touch of coffee, finished by a relatively mild roasty bitterness which just a hint of smoke at the back. The mouthfeel is slightly creamy, the carbonation softish. Not as smokey as I was expecting but a very pleasant big, sweet porter none the less.

Can. Very dark brown. Roasted peanut aroma. Much more peanutty than chocolate. Doesn't quite get the oily aspect of peanut butter. More sweet than salty. But it certainly works a treat.

From a 440ml can on 21/5/2020. Pours a deep deep brown with a small tan head. Has a pleasant and quite powerful peanut and chocolate aroma. Tastes of strongly of peanut butter, with oodles of milk chocolate, fudge and caramel. The sweetness is supercharged but there's enough slightly salty, roasty bitterness at the back to provide the right amount of balance. The mouthfeel is thick, slick and creamy, the carbonation soft. An absolutely incredible rich dessert impy, and arguably the best peanut butter beer I've had to date.

From a 440ml can on 3/5/2020 (shared with Butz). Pours a murky medium golden with a small head. The nose is quite dank and tropical. On the sip, there's a decent amount of sweet fruit - pineapple, passion fruit, peach and apricot. There's a reasonably pronounced hop kick, which is a bit spicy and lingers, presenting a bit of booziness in the finish. The mouthfeel is slick and syrupy, the carbonation moderate. This is a very enjoyable and quite complex big hazy. Worth $15 bucks a can? Maybe not quite, but at the same time I don't feel like I was robbed.

Pours opaque gold. Huge stonefruit and mango nose with wafts of pine needles. Absolute flavour bomb with everything the aromas promised and more. Little chewy. Scarily drinkable for the abv. Seek this out.

Quarantinnie. Very dark brown with a tan head that rapidly falls to a coat. Lots of maple syrup in the aroma with yes, coconut and some chocolate behind. 7- Sometimes the woody side of maple syrup counters its own sweetness and it does so (a bit) here, making it work much better for me than their Lamington Ale upon which this is based. Still pretty sweet though. Likeable drop.

From a 440ml can on 29/4/2020. Pours a cloudy apple juice colour with a small head. The nose is dank, tropical and slightly spicy. Tastes of peach, pineapple guava and passionfruit with a punchy, slightly spicy bitterness. The mouthfeel is slick and almost a bit creamy, with moderate to average carbonation. A really tasty, well balanced big hazy. Pricey, but delivers the goods.

Can. Dark brown. Maple syrup everywhere in nose. Thinnish but with some silkiness. Enough malt and choc and coconut to get this away from a treaclefest. Loads of fun and something I'd certainly sup again.
