Without too much aroma, perhaps a faint hop character and a touch of hay, this pours a lovely looking, slightly hazy pale gold with a fluffy white head. Moderately carbonated, with a crispness to the flavour of cut grass and biscuit malt, and a citrus bite of bitterness to round things off

Bottle at Cardinal. Pours black with small brown head. Aroma of whiskey, ethanol, wood, some smoke roasted malt, dark dried fruits. Tastes slightly sweet with balancing bitterness. Medium bodied, alcoholic warmth.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear brown with a thin beige head. Aroma's not great. Kind of a generic alcohol free vibe. Taste is better, some coffee and raisin detectable. Thin finish.

33cl bottle from Factory foods.
Thin creamy beige head. Clear deep amber pour. A bit malty but not bad for an alcohol free beer

This stout poured a deep black colour with a creamy, tan coloured head. Nice lacing. Scents include dark toast, caramel, coffee and a little cocoa. First swig was smooth and velvety with flavours of burnt toast, molasses and coffee. Finish is burnt and sweet with coffee flavours lingering. Delicious!
