lovely saazy hop nose with a strong toasted malt character. Very restrained bitterness, dry finish. Fairly nice for what it is.

a but thin with chocolate notes, but nothing outstanding. Pretty forgettable and not one of their better efforts.

Lots of aniseed and blackberry and raspberry. Moderately sweet, but not cloying. Not overwhelming. Very interesting as the flavors do feel artificial, but really not bad.

Sampled at the DC Ratebeer Gathering. Pours a hazy yellow with some thin, white head. Nose is BIG, tons of spice, ginger, coriander, lavender, chamomile. Flavor is pretty much the same, a big bag of potpourri, chamomile. Tastes like an Asian massage without the happy ending. Full bodied, herbal finish.

Bottle. Clear gold with a large white head. Soft aroma of citrus and various fruits - lychees, gooseberries, passionfruit. Sweetish with a refreshing bitter citrus tang along with tropical notes. Nicely-judged Kiwi hops.

Bottled. A golden beer wiht a huge white head. The aroma has notes of plum on a malty background combined with a bit of citrus fruits. The flavor is sweet with a great deal of plums combined with medium notes of malt and caramel, leading to a slightly tart finish.

Bottle. Black with red tinges. Light tan head that fades a fair bit. Aroma of dark toffee, roasted malt, plums, mocha, what seems like licorice and iodine until you taste. Quite a lot of burnt flavours upfront, with just a little sweetness behind. Didn’t smell like oysters, but you can taste them, or at least their liquor - there’s a bit of gritty brininess running right through to the finish. Not as much as the very full-on Scheldebrouwerij Oesterstout, but it’s there in spades and nicely integrated. Very good balance and weight. Excellent. [3.9] Head lingers a little longer. Rich without much sweetness, quite roasty, dark berries, minerally bitter finish.

Bottle. Amber with lots of particulates. Beige head. Mild but distinctive gooseberry/ grass/ funk aroma with some caramel. Creamy texture. Gentle and plain caramel sweetness with mild citrus bitterness. On the reserved side for an English-style IPA - it strikes me as more an ESB - but with NZ hop character. Timid.
