The flavour is moderate to strong sweet with a smooth rich sweet roasty, light oily, creamy, sweet chocolate, light liquorice, jammy fruit, light boozy alcohol palate. Medium to full bodied with flat carbonation. Nicely balanced. Smooth rich and with lots of flavour. The alcohol is well in the background too. Awesome!

Tap at the Good Luck Beer House, Singapore. Poured a hazy golden amber colour with a bubbly white head. The aroma is malt, light tropical fruits. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a fresh, crisp, light fruity, light dry pepper spice, hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation. Lacks the dry spicy yeasty finish of an NEIPA but it really doesn’t have enough fruit to compensate either.

Tap at the Good Luck Beer House, Singapore. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a thin, long-lasting tan head. The aroma is roasted malt, liqouirce, coffee, boozy alcohol. The flavour is moderate liquorice, light sweet with a smooth rich, roasty, liqouirce, peaty, boozy alcoholic palate. Full bodied with flat carbonation. It’s a fine beer but way too boozy. Can’t believe it’s jusr 9%.
