Aromas of mandarin and orange marmalade, plus some honey and biscuit. It's got a very fizzy and dry mouthfeel with a predominantly pine taste. Smells good, has a very satisfying orange fog look, but the taste is disappointing. The opposite of juicy.

Can. Amber with a fading cream head. Aroma of gingerbread. Medium bodied. Quite sweet. Spicy with a lick of bitterness at the end. Sweet bread and biscuit with ginger, orange peel, cardamom and cloves (?). It's well done because the spices don't overwhelm but it's not too sweet.

From a 355ml can on 20/12/2022. Pours a cloudy pink guava juice colour with little in the way of head. Smells of strawberries and cream lollies. The taste follows suit - some nice strawberry sweetness up front followed by a sweet creamy and lightly tangy finish. Hasa slightly creamy mouthfeel and average carbonation. A really nice and interesting little ale.

Can from Winerack at home. Opaque black pour with perfect tan foamy head - dense and thick. Aroma is roasty, dusty, woody (like an SN beer somehow). Not mainly chocolate or coffee, more roasted bitterness. Nice. Taste is similarly roasted dark bitterness. Medium rich palate with good carbonation and slight slight chalkiness. Lasting mild licorice finish but not in a way that I don’t like (I don’t like licorice that much). Overall more roasted dark bitter spice licorice wood. Good. Probably wouldn’t get again.

Can. Amber with a white head that fades from a a cm. Rather shy aroma with pineapple, guava and some citrus travel lollies. Some breadcrust and mild tropical fruit start the taste but then nice pine notes take hold and it's much more compelling towards the gently resinous bitter finish. Fires on some cylinders.

More Ouroboros than Infinite, innit. The Russian from Stubborn has been memory-holed too. Can. Black with a tan head that doesn't last all that long. Aroma of heavy roast, singed and less brown caramel, surprisingly bright floral notes, oaky whisky. Full bodied but short of syrupy, low carbonation. Layers of roast and charred oak, caramel. Sweetish with some spicy, zingy and even faintly sour notes behind. Only hints of chocolate. Intense but it mostly gets lifted away by a little ending bitterness and the fact that it's not that sweet. Memorably good.

Can. Clear amber with a loosish inch of white head that fades fast. Biscuity aroma with fairly pronounced spicy hops. Malty and biscuity but not that sweet. Moderately bitter and spicy at the end. Lowish carbonation that suits pretty well. Not bold but pretty good.
