On tap pours out hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice sweet pineapple citrus hops. Taste is more of the nice sweet pineapple citrus hops a little tropical touch on the end.

Can. Home Bargains. Misted light to medium gold. Decent white froth. Slightly sweaty malts here. Bit of a metallic note. Taste is semi sweet and a touch twangy. Drinks ok enough. More twang to finish. Probably a bit tired from sitting in a warehouse for months on end?

Can from Home Bargains. Pours lightly hazed gold with a white cap. Aroma: sweet, cheap white bread, sponge. The taste follows, grassy finish, somewhat dry on the palate. Towards medium body with soft carbonation.

Can from Home Bargains, High Wycombe. Hazy yellow with a frothy white head. Sweetish from the off. Creamed pineapple, orange and lemon boiled sweets, and a herbal note (rosemary?) in the mildly bitter finish. Lacks crispness and definitely a little on the sweet side, but nevertheless I rather enjoyed this. Cracking value for money given the very low price it was being sold at in a discount shop!

12oz can. Odd candy tone is a little intense, cancels out most barrel character. Unique sweet cinnamon candy tone. Big, sweet, sugary.

12 oz can. Sweet, sugary, huge cinnamon tone. Not getting much of the rye. Classical Mexican Imperial Stout tone. Good.

Wow. Another awesome barrel aged beer from Cruz Blanca. Rich malt syrup backdrop, but a huger alcohol soaked currant tone. Luscious and sweet, really unique, really memorable stuff. Rooted in beer more than a lot of the monster ABV stouts are. Great depth, finesse, balance. World Class. Superb barrel tone. Excellent.

12oz can. Big fruitcake aroma. More or less a classical Winter Warmer. Spice notes are all over, hard to call out blind. Overall, pretty well balanced, drinkable. OK.
