Tap. Black, a tan head fades to the rim fairly quickly. Boozy aroma with mocha, rumbling roast, caramel, vague fruit. Incredibly sweet with cherry or raspberry lollies, brown sugar, chocolate. Some bitterness and a little oak help a lot to balance things but it's still too sweet for me.

330ml can. Murky pinkish-brown colour, brief white head. Aroma of sweetened plums; pleasant but not much else. Taste is more interesting, with sweet plums, minerals, a touch of grain, biscuit malts with a touch of yeast, then a moderate sour finish with a modest bitterness. Nice smoothness on the palate with a moderate carbonation. Good.

330ml can from Beer52. Very slightly hazed gold pale with small bubbly head, spotted retention. Aroma of malts and citrus, notably orange. Has the scent of one I had from a Flavourly pack which isn't promising. Taste is malty, orange, pine with a modest dry bitter finish. Nice body to this but the carbonation is a bit aggressive on the palate. Its pleasant but a bit run-of-the-mill.

330ml can @ 6.5%. Slightly hazy amber, small white head, spotted retention. Aroma of lime, pineapple and lactose. Taste is lime, creamy lactose, vanilla, pineapple chunks. Potentially this could be too much but the moderate body is not cloying and the carbonation gives it a nice refreshing zing. Very well made.

Bottle. Almost black. A tan head lasts a little while. Mostly raspberry aroma with some pie crust and roast lurking behind. That pastry feel continues upon a sip, again with lots of mostly sweet raspberries. The roast and some bitterness controls the sweetness pretty well. Not bad at all.

big spice, dark chocolate, raisins, treacle and rum and oak notes. Low carbonation. Nice depth. Slightly boozy.
