6/2/2026. Cask at the 16th Elysian Winter Beer Festival. Aroma is supermarket chocolate ice cream, cocoa powder, coffee, wafer, coconut. Quite weak bodied. Aroma the high point and it's likeable.

Suzi Quatro was first in a band called The Pleasure Seekers. I'm pleasure seeking with this Quattro, a dark clear amber ale with a decent smoothness to its texture. It has mild red ale style characteristics with a light bitterness being the dominant facet, which lingers a while.

Victorian Craft Beer Cafe Back In Black Beer Festival 2025, Beer#1. Not quite black, but smooth, dark malty. Its coconut is light in both aroma and taste, but it's certainly still flavourful. The beer furthest right in my photo.
