Draft. A black beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt and bread. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt and bread, leading to a dry finish. The body is light.

Clear light amber and copper coloured body with a thick, four centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of grass, dry malt and a good deal of herbal hops - very nice. Light-bodied; Dry malty flavour at first with some grassy and herbal notes with a little dose of hops and very little else. Aftertaste is pale and grassy with a touch of grain and hay and a tiny bit of sweetness and very little else. Overall, a very dry and grassy beer without much hops or flavour, but a decent and easy-drinking beer throughout, especially here in the East, but probably much better options exist in Australia, as well as the rest of the world. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Jason’s Market Place at Taipei 101 in Taipei, Taiwan on 24-July-2017 for NT$39 sampled in my hotel room here in Taipei, Taiwan on 27-July-2017.

Bottle. Pretty much black with a light tan head that’s soon less than a coat but lingers at the rim. Aroma is of caught caramel, more chicory than coffee, a little roasty. Fair bit of body for under 5%. Malty but with a decent spicy bitter finish that does get gradually overwhelmed. Just a little muddled with mocha, toffee and stewed fruit notes not quite combining for me. But it’s not bad.

330ml bottle from Dan Murphy’s Hurstville. Clear watery pale yellow colour, short-lived fizzy white foam head and aroma of fruity apples, citrus. Taste is apple, apple skins, citric, light woody oak & vanilla, bittersweet. Light bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry slight tannic finish. Quite OK.

Pours black with a quickly fading head.Nose shows milk chocolate, vegetable notes, cocoa and soft roasted malt. Good stuff, could lose the vegetabel notes though.Similar flavours, pretty much a milk porter, lots of residual sweetness amongst the soft roast and milk chocolate.

Pours with almost no colour.Some apple notes and confectionery along with white wine. Very sweet smelling. Like jelly beans.More apple and confectionery notes as flavours. A lot clean than the aroma would suggest. Too sweet though.Could use more carbonation.

Pours amber with a quickly fading head.Nose shows spicy hops and biscuity malt. Some sweet notes underneath.Similar flavours; grainy, nutty malt and soft spicy and grassy hints.Carbonation seems a bit full-on.

Pours dark amber with a quickly fading head.Nose shows caramel and bready malt along with soft spicy hops. A little restrained.Flavours aren’t as good, bready malt remains but there’s also cardboard notes and vegetal characters.Almost flat, needs more carbonation.
