From a 375ml can on 13/5/2019. Pours a fairly clear golden with a small head. Has a really odd aroma of smelly cheese and vomit. Not as frightening taste wise. Has a good dash of pineapple and orange, a bit of bready malt, and a fairly gentle bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. The cheesy nose and pineapple does establish some link with pizza. Not the worst.

Bottle, cellared for about 18 months. Pours deep black with no carbonation. Very estery, boozy nose. Not oily in mouth. Chocolate, caramel, sherry flavours. Simply gorgeous. So very happy I have more of these in storage.

Tasting at Matt's
Black colour. Strong roasted malt character, hint of rubber, liquorice, coffee; it's rather dry than sweet.
Solid.

330mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out cracked black pepper, light spiciness, and medium toasted malt. Flavour reveals medium toasted malt, with a little spiciness and black pepper. I'm not too convinced by this -- the spicy, peppery character is a bit off-putting. Pleasant overall.

Big roast and intense chocolate note. Jet deep brown with a small beige head. Big roast and chocolate with some coffee. Big body and well done.

From a 330ml bottle on 28/12/2018. Pours a deep brown with not much of a head. The aroma is milk chocolate with a hint of coconut. The flavour is primarily milk chocolate, again with a hint of coconut in the background. It finishes with a medium roasty bitterness. I don't get any of the coffee. Light to medium body and slightly over-carbed. Just okay.

Medium amber color. Frothy white head. Marachinnno cherry and tangerines I’m the nose. Big caramel backbone with tangerines. Modest bitter finish.

375 ml can into schooner. Hazy amber beer with high carbonation and a large frothy white head. A little lacing. Nose has touches of malt, earth, and distant floral notes. Crisp and refreshing with a malty taste followed by increasingly dry and floral finish. Sounds like a gimmick but works really well.

375ml can into shaker. Nose is malt, dough, and fruit with a whiff of lavender. Pours a hazy amber with a constant stream of tiny bubbles. Light body, light fizz with a light fruity taste. Finish is bitter fruit with touches of cashew. Inconsequential quaffer, easy to drink.
