Can. Cloudy orange amber with a torrent of carbonation and a large, spider-like white head. Aroma of citrus, twiggy herbs, bread, some tropical fruit. Kveik seems involved. Dryish with some tropical fruit but more orange and twiggy herbal notes. Moderately bitter.

Aromas of lime, orange peel, pine needles and pineapple set it up nicely, but the taste lacks a little guts.

Can. Fairly pale gold with an inch of white head. Aroma of melon, barely ripe tropical fruit and berries, hints of pine, crackers. Perhaps a tad sweeter than I guessed but with nice fruit and crackery malt before a finish that's as much drying as bitter. Some interesting woody notes at the end. Pretty good.

Can. Clear pale gold with a 2cm white head. Clean cracker, herb and floral aroma. Sweet and not overly focussed malt flavours but with decent herbal bitterness. A little leaner would have suited me better but fair enough.

From a 440m l can on 31/12/2024. Last beer of 2024, shared with Ed and Butz. Pours a deep brown. Smells of milk chocolate, marshmallow and a touch of vanilla. It's the same on the sip, i.e., as advertised, with some biscuity character. Quite sweet up front but has a nice kick at the back that becomes a bit less pronounced as the beer warms. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Very nice stuff.

(Can) Pours black with small tan head. Lovely aroma of chocolate, toffee, notes of booze and banana, hints of spice. Excellent mouthfeel - full bodied, thick, creamy, slightly sticky with modest very fine carbonation. Excellent taste too. It’s rich and sweet with good balancing bitterness the start is toffee and chocolate. The finish is espresso bitterness. There’s a smooth transition between them. There’s spice and some alcohol bite. Very enjoyable.
