Bottle courtesy of Kostas Kykao brewery cheers Kostas! Had this Thursday 11th November 2021 listening to Marc Riley on 6 Music we had Chill con Carne. Pours black with a creamy textured light cappuccino coloured head. Super smooth, creamy and chocolatey in the mouth, plenty of vanilla, barrel ageing is subtle. This is a very indulgent imperial stout, lovely chocolate, thick mouthfeel. Great beer.

Bottle share at Hopdog München, Tuesday 9th October 2021 with Ratebeer München group and Will from work. Pours with a white head. Fruity canned peaches are indeed one of the key aromas noted and the flavour is fruity but not so very sour, busy carbonation, it's fine. Not a bad beer by any stretch but by Kykao standards this is a little pedestrian.

Bottle. Hazy pale yellow color with white head. Aroma is peach, vanilla indeed. Taste is the same, peach jam, not too sour, a touch fizzy candy, rhubarb. Fizzy carbonation. Decent, not the best I've had from this brewery, but this is complaining on a very high level.

Munich Ratebeer Group Tasting at Jonas, Garching Friday 22nd October 2021. Pours gold with a very light blush of pink and no head. Fruity with a little more depth, a little bit boozier summer once again the wine qualities are very perky here, super nice, zappy with a little cider edge, lovely.
