Draught from hand pump as part of a paddle, at Dove & Olive in Sydney on October 14, 2015.Clear very dark brown to black color, light brown head with lacing. Light acidic, a bit roasted, ash taste. Ash, acidic aftertaste. Medium to smooth mouthfeel, low bitterness. Light acidic, a bit roasted scent.

On tap at Bullant, June/13. Amber-brown and hazy, light cistrusy hop and some chewy malts.

From a 330ml bottle on 15/10/2011. Pours brown/black with a massive head to begin. Has a mild aroma of chocolate and a bit of fruit. Tastes unusual. While there are typical chocolate and roasty notes, there’s a distinct fruitiness to it, with raspberry particularly prominent. It’s let down by the palate, with a thin texture and too much carbonation. A bit confused and not a particularly good porter.

From a 330ml bottle on 13/11/2010. Not a bad attempt at a hefe. Has a slightly odd aroma with some sharpness over the banana. The carbonation is good. Is reasonably sweet and has quite refreshing lemony tang. No world beater but quite drinkable.
