Draft pour pint at Hop and Hound. Hazy golden orange pour with a ton of foam head. Matchless has already achieved the status of me seeking out their new beers. Such a young brewery, putting out extremely good stuff. Juicy orange fruit aroma. Creamy body, juicy orange fruit with more than enough hop character going on. Very hop heavy in flavor, more so than in their others, I’d say. Lingering orange fruit, coating mouthfeel. Flavorful. Solid addition to their solid lineup.

Flavour follows through, with rustic saison yeast character, some phenols in there and dry biscuity malt. Really nice to see a legit non-brett saison on this side of the Atlantic. Excellent.

Bottle pour. Fun to try their beer from a bottle, and it happens to be their one beer that seems to separate from all the rest in their young existence. Dark chocolate brown pour with a thin, patchy head. Aroma is a sweetened, fruit and chocolate front. Flavor is a bit rich up front, but settles down. A huge chocolate constant. Cool vanilla, and milk chocolate. A true treat of a dessert like beer here. Flavorful, and impressive. Enjoyed this.

500mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out cocoa nibs, a touch of vanilla and low roast. Flavour is heavy, with loads of highly sweet chocolate, roasted malt and some vanilla. Viscous and cloying, but still pleasant. Too sweet for me, but it's nice.
