Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 3 | Overall - 8

Pours black with a massive lasting off-white head.
Nose shows cocoa, soft roasted malt, bready malt, toasty malt, nutty notes. Very enticing.
Flavours include more dry roasted malt notes and supporting bready malt. Very moreish. Some chalky notes also. Finishes gently with a toasty dry finish.
Excessively carved but that's a small complaint.

Can. Clear gold, a 2cm white head fades. Gentle tropical and berry aroma with soft crackers, grass. A little crackery sweetness, fruit is there but kept well in check by grassy and light herbal notes. Medium bitterness is snappy enough. Pretty good.

Can from Carwyn Cellars. Pours clear orange amber with beige foam. Aroma & taste: bread, smoked ham. Clean on the palate. Light to moderate sweet and bitter. Nicely balanced. Medium body with soft carbonation. Very nice.

Can. Orangeish amber with a fluffy white head that fades fairly fast. 3+ Biscuity aroma with nice fresh spicy notes. Not as rich as guessed and the alcohol intrudes just a bit. Moderate bitterness. Not bad at all.

From a 440ml can on 28/9/2024. Pours a clear light amber with a smallish head. Smells malty, with rye bread, spice and some banana. Tastes quite sweet up front - rye, caramel, banana and clove, with a very gentle bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is slick, the carbonation moderate. Doesn't present as 7.7%. Different, good.

Can. Unclear golden amber, very brief white head. 3 Aroma of stewed fruit, bread, orange marmalade. 7 Full bodied, lowish carbonation. A little overt alcohol. Bittersweet with oranges, peach and strong bread. Pretty good. Is what it says it is.
